Intervenors object to the Noventber 1, 1981 date proposed by Licensee's motion of September 17, 1981.

Intervenors obligation under 10 CFR E2-740 (to supplement a response cannot come into effect until the information is known to Intervenors.

Licensee's only reason for advancing the date for Intervenors to respond is a desire to take the depositions of potential witnesses.

But e'ven assuming arguendo that Licensee might be granted permission i

to depose the witnesses, Licensee's strategy cannot force Intervenor's 8110080317 811002 PDR ADOCK 05000155 g
