SUBJECT:
PUBLIC SERVICE C0ffAllY OF OKLAH0!'A LETTER CANCELLigollmer THEIR BLACK FOX STATIO!! APPLICATION This is in response to your twxrandum dated February 19, 1982, requesting rty views on the letter f ron Public Service Corvany of Oklahond (PS0) concelling their application for pernits to construct Black Fox Station (BFS), Units 1 and 2.
Before addressing the P50 letter, sooe background infornation related to the RFS application review nay be helpful.
The PSO application to construct the CFS was docketed on Decerter 23, 1975.
The staf f's Final Environiiental Statenent (FES) was issued in February 1977.
The Safety Evaluation Report and two of its supplenents were issued in June 1977, Septenher 1978 and March 1979. Following the corpletion of the Environ-riental and Site Suitability Hearings, a Linited Work Authorization (LUA) was issued in July 1978 Two atendrents to the LUA, to allow additional con-struction work to be carried out, were issued in September and Novenber of 1978. On February :8.1979, the hearing record for the BFS application was closed. At that tire there were no outstanding safety issues that would hdve precluded issuing a construction pernit for CFS provided that a favor-dble decision was received from the ASLB. The staff believes a construction permit could have been issued in nid 1979 if the Titl-2 accident had not oCCured.
PSO's situation was unique in that, of all the pending construction pernit applications at the tire of the TMI-2 accident, they were the only one with an LWA.
Indeed, the circunstances surrounding the lessons learned from THI-2 and the developnent of a CP/f'L Rule had a significant iupact on the HFS application. On June 13, 1979, the ASLB issued an order which deferred the final resolution of the application for a construction pernit to await their evaluation of any staff reconnendations for UFS which would result from its Tt!I-2 investiqations. The Board also denied the applicants' request for referral of this decision to the ALAB. On October 4,1979, in an Interiu Statenent of Policy and Procedures, the Comission directed the ASLB's not to issur full adjudicatory decisions which authorize the issuance of construc-tion per'dts except af ter further order of the Comission itself.

Comissioner Roberts Following the decision by the Correnission, in March 1981, to resume TMI-2 related reviews for the pending construction pemit applications, the staff, by use of a dedicated review team, has reviewed and published safety evaluation reports for five of the pending construction permit applications.
Following that decision.
CP applicants were required to file their response to the proposed CP/ML rule published on March 23,1981. PS0 did not file the required responses until October 1981. The staff completed its review of that submittal by a dedicated team and published its Safety Evaluation Report on December 31, 1981.
Thus, while the post TMI licensing " pause" certainly created some uncertainty in the licensing process, particularly through 1979 and into 1980, we believe the Agency responded quite promptly to the PS0 submittal in response to the Comission's proposed CP/ML rule.
