DearCha'irman Hendrie:

l We are writing to request that the Commission provide us with up- '.'

to-date, comprehensive information regarding the status of the Commission's actions relating to the Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant in San Luis Obispo, California.

As the Representatives of the congressional districts most affect-ed by the Diablo Canyon facility, we are interested in the specif-ic procedures which will be followed with respect to the licensing l decisioni the impact on Diablo of the recently adopted change in Appendix B part 2 of the Commission's regulations which eliminates licensing review by the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board; and the projected timetable for low and full power decisons on this plant.

As you know, legislation is under consideration in the House which would allow the Commission to authorize full power operation of nuclear plants before safety hearings have been completed. The Sgnate has been considering a version which would allow low power

.- operation before the completion of safety hearings. As the impend-ing licensing decision on Diablo Canyon i; a matter of great con-cern in both our districts, we would appreciate your views on the 6

' .impgtt.each of these proposa'ls, if enacted , woeld .tiave on the t.ime _ .

frame for decisions on the Diabic cacility.

As you can appreciate, there is some confusion is to tha specific impact on Diablo of recent administrative actions, as well as the regulatory impact of legislative proposals to allow low and full power permits independent of the safety hearing process.
