To Establish Hearino Schedule)

On September 25, 1981, Applicant, State of Oklahoma, and Intervenors filed a Joint Motion to Establish Hearing Schedule.
On October 2,1981, the NRC Staff filed its R'sponse which e
objected to the inclusion in the proposed schedule of any reference to the time for the, filing of any petitions pursuant to 10 C.F.R. 2.758. On October 9,1981, Applicant submitted its Response, which is concurred in by the State of Oklahoma and the Intervenors, g
It is not clear whether the Staff objects to the setting of a date within which time a 2.758(b) petition must be filed or
/ [
objects to the idea of including such an opportunity in the hearing schedule. We see no merit in either objection. Staff does not present a sound explanation in objecting to the setting
'811020047B 811014'
{DRADOCK 05000556
d of a due date and, indeed, such a setting would serve 'a expedite the final disposition of this case.
Staff also does not offer a sound explanation in objecting to the affording of such an opportunity, and most certainly the mere filing of such a petition does not prejudice any party who may desire to oppose or to support the petition.
Accordingly, it is this 14th day af October,1981 ORDERED 1.
That the Joint Motion To Establish Hearing Schedule, as modified, infra, is granted.
-2.
That the Hearing Schedule provide as follows:

Responses to the contentions and motions to reopen the hearing record are due within 15 days after said pleadings are filed. [ November 20, 1981].* Informal discovery begins between any two parties on contentions proposed by one and not challenged by the other.
