MEMORANDUM AND ORDER (Granting Applicant's Request for Change in Scnedule of Evidentiary Hearings)
On Friday, October 23, 1981, the Applicant initiated a telephone conference call to rego "it a change in previously established hearing schedules.
Particire:.ing viere Judges !?echhoefer, Cowan, and (during the latter stages of the call) Judge Harbnur; Mr. Michael Miller for the l
Applicant; Fr. William Paton and several other unidentified attorn"ys for the NRC Staff; and Ms. Barbara Staniris.
(Meither Judge Decker nor Intervenor Wendell H. Marshall could be reached.)
The Applicant requested that the hearings which we had scheduled for t'ie period freni November 16-24, 1931, be postponed until next year.
Those hearings were to have dealt with corrective actions cencerning the diesel generator building and (if time were available) the service water pump structure. The Applicant stated that it had technical differences with the 8111200785 811027 pfat,[
$e o
I
is I
f NRC Staff concerning the corrective actions for the diesel gencrator i
building, that the Staff had requested additional information from the Applicant, and that the Applicant was in' the process of collecting that information in order to provide it to the Staff.
Both the Applicant and Staff agreed that they could not be prepared to address those corrective j
actions during the period frem November 16-24. The Applicant also stated l
that another consideration was that the auxiliary building was a " critical path item", and that it wished the Staff reviewers to spend their time reviewing the cori 2ctive actions for the auxiliary building rather than f
devoting time in the near future to resolving differences with respect to the diesel generator building.
The Applicant confirmed that as a matter of policy it would perform no corrective actions on structures affected by soils settlement problems before receiving Staff concurrence.
It stated that it would advise the i
Board if it should wish to change that policy.
The CoarJ advised thc Applicant that pbstpunement uf the hear:ngs 2
scheduled for November 16-24 could result in schedule conflicts during the per iod January-March,1982. The Applicant never theless reiterated its wish l
to postpone the November 16-24 hearings.
The Applicant and Staff also stated, in response to a Board inquiry, that they would not be prepared to address other issues (such as the auxiliary buildina) during the November 16-24 time period.
Given those considerations, the Board granted the requested postponement and indicated that it would do its best to avoid f
scheduling problems which would unduly delay either the Midland hearings or other hearings in which various Board members are involved.
Subsequent to w. -
/
, the conference call, the Board arranged for hearings in this proceeding to be held from January 5-13,1982 (including Saturday, January 9).

Seisnic models for various structures; to the extent the parties are prepared to deal with these subjects, corrective actions with respect to borated water storage tank, foundation ring, and underground piping.
9 January 5-13, 1982:
Corrective actions with respect to diesel generating building, and other soils settlement matters not previously considered.
The Board notes that, insofar as particular subjects are concerned, we l
will not object to changes to t/nich the parties m y agree concerning the particular hearing sessions at which various subjects will be considered.
