REQUEST FOR LEAVE TO FILE STATEMENT IN SUPPORT OF FAIRFIELD UNITED ACTION APPEAL Tne regulations of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission do not provide for the filing by non-parties of anicus briefs or statements in support of appeals taken by parties to licensing proceedings.

-s The-Sierra Club, and particularly the members of the South f Carolina Chapter, have an interest in the licensing and operation of the V.C. Summer nuclear plant. Members are concerned that the

' issues of the' competence to operate the facility and the efficacy of emergency planr,1xe fully explored before a license is granted. They are als'c: cnncerned that citizen groups, such as Fairfield United Action, have the opportunity tc participate in the licensing proceedings when, as the Licensing Board determined was the case here, their participation will contribute to the record and will not unduly delay the proceed!ngs.

Respectfully submitted,
