Docket ilos. STil 50-556, STN 50-557 Centlenen:

I have enclosed a draft letter to the Licensing Board surrarizing our agreenent on scheduling the reopened proceeding on the Black Fox construction pemit application. You will notice that the timetable is slightly changed from that discussed last week. The date of the prehearing conference is moved back to December 7 to allow the Board to issue a public notice 30 days in advance of the hearing. The schedule is more detailed with respect to when interrogatories cust be filed. This is to ensure that parties will have adequate tine to answer them before the close of discovery.

Finally, the schedule provides for a period of infomd discovery on undisputed contentions.

This period would be in advance of and in addition to the time periods we agreed on last week.

Because Dennis will be out of the office for the next few days, let re know whether or not the draft meets with your approval. As discussed, s

we would like to send the letter to the Board in the near future.

(

Sincerely,

\\
