Dear Mr. Chairman:
The purpose of this letter is to correct an error in my letter dated December 1, 1980 concerning the TMI-l
~
hearings.
g The letter, at line 11, incorrectly identified Febru-l ary 1980 as the anticipated date for completing the hearings on TMI-1.
February 1980 was the anticipated date for initi-ating, not completing, the hearings.
Line 11 should read -
been initiated by February.........
A revised first page of the December 1 letter is attached.
The letter correctly identified September 1980 as the date by which the Commission's Orders of July 2 and August 9, 1979 anticipated a decision could be reached on lifting the suspension of our authority to operate TMI-1.
Thus, the thrust of the letter and the request therein are unaffected.
I regret this error and apologize for any confusion it may have caused.

Dear Mr. Chairman:
l It is the purpose of this letter to request that the com-i mission reconsider and modify its Orders of July 2, 1979 and
)
August 9, 1979 deal'ing with the restart of Three Mile Island Unit
]
No. 1 ("TMI-1").
We believe that an evaluation of developments since the entry of such Orders demonstrates that they have pro-duced consequences which are unjust and inconsistent with the public interest.
The discussions at the Commission's public j
meetings prior to the entry of the August 9, 1979 Order and the l
terms of that Order manifested a clear expectation by the Commission that the hearings required by that Order would have Rev.
been initiated by February and that a Commission decision on the matter of lifting the suspension of TMI-l's operating authority could be reached by September of this year.
Yet the fact is that the hearings did not even begin until mid-Octobcr 1980.
The consequence of those orders, has been to severely penalize the l
four million residents of our service areas and our hundreds of thousands of investors. Unless the Commission takes action to expedite matters, authorization fcr operation of TMI-l will be further delayed for many more months.
We are addressing this request for re-consideration and modification of your July 2 and August 9, 1979 Orders to the Commission, rather than to the Atomic Safety and Licensing Bo (ASLB), since it is the Commission (and not the ASLB) that c determine whether, in the light of all the pertinent consi tions, such orders should be modified.
