As stated in your letter dated December 21, 1981 (Dutton to Eisenhut),
Oglethorpe Power Corporation (Oglethorpe), part owner of the Alvin W.
Vogtle Nuclear Plant, Unit Hos. 1 and 2 (Vogtle 152), has requested financial assistance froa the Rural Electrification Administration (REA), U. 5.

As a part of the application for financial assistance, the REA requires Oglethorpe to prepart a Borrower's Environnental Report (BER).
In tt.is report Oglethorpe must document that agencies involved with Vogtle 162 have found that 1) there are presently no significant environuental issues within their authority, or 2) there exist no significant environmental issues not resolved, mitigated or reviewed for final determination.
The NRC, as lead federal agency in the National Environmental Policy Act of i
1969 (NEPA) review process for Vogtle 182, has reviewed its role and has found that both of the above conditions tre true of Vogtle 132.
This finding is based on the following actions and conditions:
1.
Georgia Power Company (GPC) submitted, and the NRC cocketed the Vogtle 1&2 Construction Stage Environmental Report in February 1973.
2.
The NRC issued a Construction stage Final Environmental Statement (FES) in March 1974.
3.
The NRC, subsequent to a public hearing and pursuant to an Atomic Safety and Licensing Board Decision, issued a Construction Permit for Vogtle 1&2 in June 1974.
4.
Construction activities are subject to review by the NRC for coupliance with environmental conditions and requirenents contained in the Construction Permit and FES.
