Stewart D.
Ebneter, having first been duly sworn, hereby states as follows:
I am the Regional Administrator of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC) Region II office in Atlanta, Georgia.
I served in this position in the spring of 1990.
On October 7,
- 1993, Georgia Power Company (GPC) served interrogatories upon the NRC which called for information I possessed between March and June of 1990.
I have been informed in general terms by Staff counsel that the interrogatories result from an administrative proceeding in which an intervenor has alleged that GPC knowingly submitted incorrect information to the NRC (in LER 90-06 and at a meeting in NRC's Atlanta, Georgia office on April 9, 1990) regarding diesel generator starts following the March 20, 1990, site incident.
Having been so informed as to the background of the interrogatories, I respond here to those interrogatories which refer to me.
