ANSWER OF FLORIDA POWER AND LIGHT D 7 'USCli'o, NG-3 COMPA"Y TO MOTION FOR D of..OgOg g / }J F RECONSIDERATION AND REVIEW j 'n-g ~

On December 10, 1981, Joel Jaffer submitted to tbe j i

Commission a " Motion for Reconsideration and Review of Deni'al ",;> t of Petition to Intervene / Request for Hearing Pursuant to 10 C.F.R. 2.714a and 2.714." In it he sought to obtain review of:

1. the June 19, 1981 Final Order of the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board in the above-referenced proceeding;

2. the Appeal Board Order of October 9, 1981, denying Mr. Jaffer amicus status in the review of the Licensing Board decision; and

3. ALAB-660, dated November 30, 1981, affirming the Licensing Board's decision.

The Commission's rules contain no provision for consideration of the motion in question. See 10 C.F.R. 5 2.786 (b) (9) .

However, even if considered as a " petition for review" under 10 C.F.R. S 2.786 (b) (1) , relief must be denied.

With respect to Item 2, above, the time for seeking review has long since expired and the matter is now moot since briefing has been completed, oral argument held, and a decision (ALAB-66 0 ) issued. In any event, for reasons detailed in the Appeal Board's October 9, 1981 Order and its Memorandum of September 1, 1981, Mr. Jaffer's request for amicus. status is ,

" patently insufficient." Accordingly, there was no abuse of discretion in its denial.

With respect to Items 1 and 3, Mr. Jaffer never, in fact, filed a petition to intervene. See, e.g., Respondents' Opposition to Petitioner's Motion To File Petition for Review-in Forma Pauperis, Jaffer v. NRC, No. 81-8035 (D.C. Cir.

Oct. 2, 1981). Accordingly, despite representations to the contrary, neither the Licensing Board's Final Order nor ALAB-660 dealt with intervention by Mr. Jaffer in any way.

Further, since he was never a party to the proceedings below (see, e.g., Court Order, Jaffer v. NRC, No. 81-8035 (D.C. Cir.

Oct. 2, 1981), rehearing denied, Dec. 7, 1981), he may not now seek review of the decisions on their merits. 10 C.F.R.

S 2.786 (b) (1) .

For the foregoing reasons the motion must be denied.

Respectfully submitted,
