J. J. Carey, Vice President, t!uclear 435 Sixth Avenue Pittsburgh, PA 15219
Dear f<r. Carey:
This is in response to your January 29, 1982 letter, requesting relief from the February 1,1982 deadline for implementation of your prompt notification I
system.
The final rule establishing this deadline, which became effective December 30, 1981, does not specifically address requests for exemption or relief from the February 1,1982 implementation date.
However, pursuant to 10 CER.550.12, your request for exemption was determined not to be meritorious.
As noted in the proposed rule (46 FR 46587), the Commission stated that, in its judgment, prompt public notification is an important consideration in the offsite protection of the public in the event of a nuclear accident.
The emergency planning rule is premised on reducing, to the extent possible and to the extent the f4RC can regulate, the time required f
for and the uncertainty associated with each step in the prompt public notification process.
Therefore, timely implementation of a prompt notifi-cation system is ~ considered to' be beneficial to the health and safety of the public.
(See 46 FR 46587 & 46 FR 63031 for additional information).
In view of the forgoing, it has been determined that granting an extension I
of time would not be in the public interest.
j.
ducuesne Light Company 2-However, the Commission recognizes that there may be mitigating circumstances beyond your control that should be weighed in determining what enforcement action should be taken.
Specifically, these considerations are:
(1) whether the licensee demonstrated diligence in attenpting to fulfill the requirements; (2h whether or ot the flRC.wa.s. kept informed of the steps taken to fulfill the requirements of the rule; (3) when those steps were taken, and any significant problems encountered; and (4) an updated timetable established to achieve full compliance with the prompt public not'fication capability requirement.
The information you have provided will be taken into consideration in determining appropriate enforcement actio,n.
Sincerely,
(
Darrell G. Eisenhut, Director Division of Licensing Office of Nuclear Peactor Pegulation 6

Effective December 30, 1981, the Commission approved the final rule changing the deadline for implementation of a Prompt Notification System to February 1, 4

Dear Mr. Daltroff:
This is in response to your January 27, 1982 letter, requesting an exemption
('
from the February 1,1982 deadline for implementation of your prompt notification The final rule establishing this deadline, which became effective system.
December 30, 1981, does not specifically address requests for exemption or relief from the February 1,1982 implementation date.
However, pursuant to 10 CFR 550.12, your request for exemption was determined not to be meritorious.
As noted in the proposed rule (46 FR 46587), the. Commission I
stated that, in its judgment, prompt public notification is an important j
consideration in the offsite protection of the public in the event of a nuclear accident.
The emergency planning rule is premised on reducing, to the extent possible and to the extent the NRC can regulate, the time required for and the uncertainty associated with each step in the prompt public notification process.
Th refore, timsly implementation of a prompt notifi-
~
cation system is considered to be beneficial to the health and safety of
[
the public.
(See 46 FR d6587 & 46 FR 63031 for additional information).
In view of th'e forgoing, it has been determined that granting an extension of ti e would not he in the public ir.terest.

Powever, the Comnission recognizes that there may be mitigating circumstances beyond your control that should be weighed in determining what enforcement action should be taken.
Specifically, these considerations are:
(1) whether the licensee demonstrated diligence in attempting to fulfill the requirements; (2) whether or not the NRC was 1ept informed of the steps taken to fulfill the requirements of the rule; (3) when those steps were taken, and any significant problems encountered; and (4) an updated timetable established to achieve full compliance with the prompt public notification capability requirement.
The infornation you have provided in this and previous correspondence will be taken into consideration in determining appropriate enforcement action.

Dear fir. Howard:
This is in response to your January 21, 1982 letter, requesting an extension o.f the February 1,1982 deadline for implementation of your prompt notification i
system.
The final rule establishing this deadline, which became effective a
December 30, 1981, does not specifically address reouests for exemption or relief from the February 1,1982 implementation date.
However, pursuant to 10 CFR-Q50.12, your request for exemption was determined not to be meritorious.
As noted in the proposed rule (46 FR 46587), the Commission stated that, in its judgment, prompt public notification is an important consideration in the offsite protection of the public in the event of a I
The emergency planning rule is premised on reducing, to nuclear accident.
the extent possible and to the extent the NRC can regulate, the time required for and the uncertainty associated with each step in the prompt public notification process.
Therefore, timely implementation of a prompt notifi-cation system is'considerdd.to' be beneficial to the health and safety of the public.
(See 46 FR 465871. 46 FR 63031 for additional information).
In view of the forgoing, it has been determined that granting an extension of tine would not be in the public interest.
Foston Edison Company,
However, the Conmission recognizes that there may be mitigating circumstances beyond your. control that should be weighed in deternining what enforcement t
action should be taken.
Specifically, these considerations are:
(1) whether the licensee demonstrated diligence in attempting to fulfill the requirements; (2) whether or not the NRC.was kept informed of the steps taken to fulfill the requirements of the rule; (3) when those steps were taken, and any significant problems encountered; and (4) an updated timetable established to achieve full compliance with the. prompt public notification capability requirement.
The information you have provided in this anc previous correspondence, will be taken into consideration in determining appropriate enforcement action.
Sincerely, s

SUBJECT:
LICENSEE'S REOUESTS FOR EXEMPTION FROM PROMPT NOTIFICATION SYSTEN DEADLINE Effective December 30, 1981, the Commission approved the final rule changing the deadline for implementation of a Prompt Notification System to February 1, 1982.
GPU Nuclear has reouested relief from this deadline and for the Oyster Creek facility.
For the reasons given in the attached response, we propose that it be denied.

Docket No. 50-219 GPU Nuclear ATTN:
R. C. Arnold j
President P. O. Box 480 Middletown, Pennsylvania 17057
Dear Mr. Arnold:
This is in response to your February 1,1982 letter, requesting an exemption from the February 1,1982 deadline for implementation of your prompt notifi-(
cation system. The final rule establishing this deadline, which became
(
effective December 30, 1981, does not specifically address requests for I
exenption or relief from the February 1,1982 implementation date.
- However, pursuant to 10 CFR 550.12, your request for exemption was determined not to be meritorious.
As noted in the proposed rule (46 'FR 46587), the l
Comniission stated that, in its judgment, prompt public notification is an I
important consideration in the offsite protection of the public in the event of a nuclear accident.
The emergency planning rule is premised on reducing, to the extent possible and to the extent the NRC can regulate, the time required for and the uncertainty associated with each step in the prompt public notification process.
Therefore, timely implementation of a prompt notification system is considered to be beneficial to the health and safety of the public.
(See 46 FR 46587 & 46 FR 63031 for additional infor-mation).
In view of the forgoing, it has been determined that granting an extension of time would not be in the public interest.
GPU Nuclear.
However, the Commission recognizes that there may be mitigating circumstances beyond your control that should be weighed in determining what enforcement action should be taken.
Specifically, these considerations are:
(1) whether the licensee demonstrated diligence in attempting to fulfill the requirements; (2) whether or not the NRC was kept informed of the steps taken to fulfill the requirements of the rule; (3) when those steps were taken, and any significant problems encountered; and (4) an updated timetable established to achieve full compliance with the prompt public notification capability requirement.
The information you have provided, in this and previous correspondence, will be taken into consideration in determining appropriate enforcement action.
Sincerely, Darrell G. Eisenhut, Director Division of Licensing Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation

Docket No. g Mr. A. Victor Morisi, Manager Nuclear Operations Support Department Boston Edison Ccmpany M/C NUCLEAR SCO Soylston Street Boston, Massachusetts C2199 Cear Mr. Morisi:
Re:
pilgrim Nuclear power Station This is in response to Mr. J. Edward Howard's January 21, 1982 letter, requesting an extension of the February 1,1982 deadiine for implementation of Bosten Edison Company's prompt notification system. The final rule establishing this deadline, which became effective December 30,1981, does not specifically address requests for exemption or relief from the February 1, 1982 implementation date. However, pursuant to 10 CFR f 50.12, your request 3
for exemption was detemined not to be meritorious.
s As noted in the preposed rule (46 FR 46557), the Cc= mission stated that, consideration in its judgment, prcmpt public notification is an importan in :ne Offsite protection of the ;ublic in the event of a nuclear accident.
The emergency lanning rule is premised on reducing, to tne extent oossible the NRC can regulate, the time recuired for,and the anc to the exter.:
uncer: tin:y associatec witn eacn ste: in the ;rcm;t public notification Therefore, timely implementation of a prompt notification system process.
is considered to be beneficial to the health and safety of the public.
(See a6 FR 46587 and 46 FR 63031 for additional infomation). In view of the foregoing, it has been detemined that granting an extensien of time wculd net te in the cudlic interest.
However, the 3mmission recogni:es that tr.ere.ay be.itiga ing circumstances oeyond ycur c n:rol that should ce weignec in detemining wnat enforcement action shcuid be taken. Specifically, these considerations are:
(1) whe her Bosten Edison Comcany demonstrated diligence in attemc:ing :s fulfill the recuirements; (2) wnether or not the NRC was kept infomed of the steps taken to fulfill the recuirements of the rule; (3) when those stecs ware taken, and any significant problems enccuntered; and (4) an updated time:able established to achieve full compliance with the prompt public notification ca: ability recui rement, 0
