INTERVENORS' REQUEST FOR ENLARGEMENT OF TIME TO FILE INTERROGATORIES

/

The Licensing Board established September 27, 1978 as the cutoff date for filing Interrogatories.

Intervenors hereby request an enlargement of time of one week, until October 3, 1973, in which to submit their final set of Interrogatories.

1. On September 21, 1978, Intervenors received copies of 12 memorandum from Dennis P. Allison to John F. Stolt:

describing data submitted informally to the Staff by the Applicant last spring announcing that the data was now avail-able in the public documents room. Intervenors have yet to complete their review of this data. Additional interroga-tories may be required upon completion of that review.

2. The Intervenors are preparing a final set of Inter-rogatories for both the Staff and Applicant, but due to conflicting obligations, Intervenors' counsel has not been i

2.

able to complete those Interrogatories. These obligations include completion of depositions under order.from the Federal District Court and recent arguments before State Courts.

3. Answers to Interrogatories would be due October 24, 1978. Intervenors do not anticipate that this enlargement of time would result in any further disruption of the hearing schedule established in the Licensing Board's Order, dated August 8, 1978.

Wherefore, Intervenors request an enlargement of time of one week, until October 3, 1978, in which to submit their final set of Interrogatories.
