Reference:

NRC D.G. Eisenhut Generic Letter 81-10 February 18, 1981 NRC D.G. Eisenhut Generic Letter 81-17 March 5,1981 District Letter August 3,1981 District Letter October 26, 1981 Since our initial letter of August 3,1981, we have been attempting to obtain NRC Commission approval of our intention to locate the permanent Emergency Operations Facility (E0F) at our General Office Annex lacated adjacent to the District's General Office in Sacramento. As indicated in our letter of October 26, 1981, we believe this proposed E0F location and layout satisfies the intent of all applicable NRC guidelines.

In addition, as indicated by attachments to that letter, both the local county governmental organizations and the responsible State of California emergency response organization have concurred with the selection of the General Office Annex as an acceptable EOF, Provisions are also made for a nearsite NRC location and for site personnel evacuation relocation areas.

Subsequent to our initial correspondence, we have not received any written requests for additional information or response to our proposed location.

District personnel have had numerous verbal discussions and telephone conversations with NRC staff in an attempt to obtain a firm committment as to when the necessary documentation would be prepared and presented to the NRC Commission, The District has comitted limited resources to assure that the proposed EOF can be utilized during our full scale FEMA review offsite emergency response exercise scheduled for June 23, 1982.

However, we cannot commit substantive resources toward improving and equipping this facility until approval of the location is received from the NRC.

Darrell G. Eisenhut Director Request-for Extension With respect to the above comments, the extensive delay in obtaining a decision from the NRC makes it impossible to complete a permanent EOF by the October 1, 1982 deadline. Therefore, the District is requesting an extension to the October 1, 1982 deadline. Specifically, we are requesting a day-for-day extension to the October 1, 1982 deadline, beginning January 1, 1982, which~is about five months after we submitted our initial letter and ending upon receipt of a decision from NRC.

I trust that the NRC recognizes our situation and the fact that regulatory dead-lines cannot be satisfied if regulatory controlled decisions are not rendered in a reasonable period of time. The District is prepared to initiate work on the proposed E0F upon receipt of approval from the NRC Commission and would complete the facility as soon as possible thereafter.

Your attention to this matter and a prompt response to the request for extension contained in this letter is appreciated.

If you have any questions, please advise.

John J. Mattimoe Assistant General Manager and Chief Engineer i
