Docket No. 50-219 LS05-82.02-027 Mr. P. B. Fiedler Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station Post Office Box 388 Forked River, New Jersey 08731

Dear Mr. Fiedler:

This is in response to your letter received by us on January 5,,1982, as supplemented by your letter to the Chairman dated February 1,1982, requesting an exemption from the 10 CFR Appendix E requirements concerning installation of the prompt notification system by February 1,1982.

The revised emergency planning regulation, which became effective r November 3,1980, required that, by July 1,1981, the lice, see n demon-

strate that administrative and physical means were established for l

alerting and providing prompt instruction to the public within the

! plume exposure pathway Emergency Planning Zone. Many licensees did not meet this~ requirement by July 1,1981; the failure attributed to l

unforeseen difficulties and uncertainties surrounding the design, I procurement and installation of. the prompt notification systems. In August, the Commission proposed the extension of the July 1,1981 date to February 1,1982, but determined that if the systems were not installed and operable by February 1,1982, the licensees would be subject to enforcenient action. On December 30, 1981, a final rule change which was immediately effective, delayed this implementation date for prompt public notification systems from July 1,1981 to February 1,1982 (46 FR 63031).

When the Commission chose the February 1,1982 deadline, they were aware that some licensees were estimating that they might not be able to complete installation of their sys'tems by that date. Even with this knowledge, the Commission decided that the February 1,1982 date was reasonable, given the fact that all licensees should have been able to meet this deadline by having applied sufficient resources to the task without delay. This is particularly true since the licensees have known of the requirement since September 19, 1979, when the proposed rule changing 10 CFR 50 Appendix E was published in the Federal Reaister (44 FR 54308). Im view of the above, and the requirements of the final rule on the prompt public notification system, your request for an exemption cannot be granted.

8206240400 820610 PDR FOIA WATKINSB2-216 PDR A

Mr. P. B. Fiedler February 3,1982 However, in the course of the decision to delay the implementation date to February 1, 1982, the Commission was aware as discussed above, that a licensees' inability to meet the July 1,1981 date could be attributed to causes beyond his control. The Commission will take into consideration any mitigating circumstances in determining the degree of enforcement action.

In this regard, your attention is directed to Paragraph 3 of Part II of the Supplementary Information Section of the Final Rule published in the Federal Register on December 30,1981 (FR Vol . 46, No. 250, Pages 63031 - 63033 copy-enclosed).
