LICENSEE'S REPLY TO UCS MOTION AND SUPPLEMENTAL Ti(NS$

H

[<p FOR RECONSIDERATION OF MOTION FOR EXTENSION O T

E EC TO FILE EXCEPTIONS r __

/

~

In response to a motion filed by UCS on December 18, 1981, the Appeal Board extended the time for filing exceptions to the Licensing Board's December 14, 1981, partial initial de-cision until February 1, 1982.

On January 21, 1982, UCS filed a motion for further extension of the deadline for filing excep-tions until February 16, 1982 (or until March 1, 1982, in the event the Commission granted UCS' motion to extend the time for filing comments on immediate effectiveness of the Licensing Board's decision until February 15, 1982).1/

This motion was denied by the Appeal Board in an order dated January 22, 1982.

On January 26, 1982, UCS filed with the Appeal Board a supplement to and request for reconsideration of its January 21 motion for extension of time to file exceptions.

Licensee opposes this request.

%Q3 1/ Licensee's counsel has been informed by telephone by the 5

Office of the Secretary of the Commission that the Commis-sion is today issuing an order denying UCS' motion for

/ [

further extension of the comment period.

PDR

UCS asserts in its supplemental filing that its motions to the Commission and the Appeal Board for extensions of time were " compelled by the unusual number of pleadings re-quired at this stage of the proceeding, and the resulting prejudice of UCS' ability to participate in a meaningful way'.'.2/

i' UCS does not identify in its motion for reconsideration the

(

" unusual number of pleadings" to which it refers.

Licensee assumes, however, that UCS has reference to the same documents l

and workload urged by UCS upon the Commission as the basis for the extension of the deadline for filing comments on immediate i

effectiveness.

Licensee has addressed each of these bases in I

response to UCS' filings with the Commission, none of which in Licensee's view justify an extension of the six-week period already allowed by the Appeal Board for the filing of exceptions.

Copies of Licensee's responses to UCS' filings with the Commis- ~

sion dated January 5 and January 25, 1982, are' enclosed with this reply.

Respectfully submitted, SHAW, PI TMAN, POTTS & TROWBRIDGE By b)

n Ge[rge F. Trowbridge[

Dated: January 27, 1982 2/ As pointed out by the Appeal Board in its January 22 decision, UCS did not in its January 21 motion allege that it would be unable to comply with the schedule established by the Appeal Board for exceptions or that its ability to litigate its posi-tion effectively would be in any way compromised.

UCS' allega--

tion is made for the first time to the Appeal Board in its motion for reconsideration. _ _ _ _ __________ ______
