PETITION OF THE METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY FOR LEAVE TO INTERVENE PLEASE TAKE NOTICE, that pursuant to 10 C.F.R.

Section 2.714, g seq. governing interventions, the Metro-politan Transportation Authority ("MTA") requests permis-sion to intervene in this proceeding for the following reasons:

N 1.

The.MTA is a public benefit corporation and political subdivision of the State of New York.

The MTA was created to develop and improve commuter transportation and related services, and currently owns, operates or su-pervises the use of fa7.11.ities and equipment to that end.

PDR

3 ce 2.

That the nuclear power plant Indian Point, Unit 3, is. owned and run by the. Power Authority of the State of New York (PASNY), pursuant to state statutory authorization.

3.

That the electric power costs of the MTA, its affiliates and. subsidiaries, aggregate well over one hundred million dollars annually for approximately six hundred megawatts of power.

Pursuant to a contract en-tered into between PASNY and the MTA in 1976, most of that power is obtained from PASNY.

On information and belief, a substantial percentage of Indian Point,'dnit 3 output goes towards fulfillment of that contract.

4.

That this proceedin, was instituted pursuant to a petition of the Union of Concerned Scientists request-ing the permanent closure of the Indian Point nuclear Power Plants, including that owned and operated by the Power Authority of the State of New York.

5.

That any action taken by the Nuclear Regu-latory Commission (" Commission") will have a direct and immediate impact upon the MTA in that the MTA receives part of its power requirements from the subject plants.._ ___ -,

6.

That one of the various issues defined by

.the Commission in its January 8, 1981 order in this doc-ket was the question of economic impact on the region from a closure of the subject plants.

7.

'That pursuant to l'0 C.F.R. Section 2.715(c),

the presiding Officer is empowered to afford the repre-sentatives of any interested state, county, municipality and/or agencies thereof, a reasonable opportunity to par-ticipate and to introduce evidence, interrogate witnesses, and advise the Commission of perti.nent facts and informa-tion without requiring the representative to take a posi-tion with respect to the issues.

The representative can additionally participate on issues not raised directly by it.

Such part also allows for the filing by such partici-pant of proposed findings and exceptions.

8.

That the MTA herein moves for leave to in-tervene in the captioned proceedings pursuant to 10 C.F.R.

Section 2.715(c) with the reservation of the further right to move under 10 C.F.R. Section 2.714 for formal party status at such later time as its interest may require.

e 7

9.

That the MTA isa political subdivision of the State of New York created for the benefit of the people of New York and to perform essential governmental func-tions.

The interests of the MTA as they may be affected by the Commission's actions in this proceeding cannot be adequately represented by any other party.

10.

That a denial of standing to intervene un-der 10 C.F.R.

Section 2.715 (c), with leave to intervene at such later time under 10 C.F.R. Section 2.714 as mat-ters may require, will cause serious prejudice to the MTA.

WHEREFORE, the MTA respectfully requests that the Commission issue an order permitting it to intervene pursuant-to 10 C.F.R.

Section 2.715 (c) with leave to in-tervene as a party under 10 C.F.R.

Section 2.714 at such future time as deemed appropriate by the MTA, and that the MTA be accorded all rights appropriate to its status as i

intervenor and further relief as may be necessary and ap-propriate in the circumstanc'es.
