APPLICANTS' NOTIFICATION CONCERNING PENDING LITIGATION The United States Department of Energy (" DOE") and Project Management Corporation ("PMC"), for themselves and on behalf of the Tennessee Valley Authority (the Applicants),

hereby file this Notification Concerning Pending Litigation.

The Applicants are providing this Notification for the pur-pose of keeping the Board currently informed as to matters potentially affecting the above-captioned proceeding, as follows:

1. On August 19, 1982, NRDC and the Sierra Club

("Intervenors") filed, in the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, a Petition for Review and an Application for Stay of the Commission's August 17, 1982 Order granting Applicants' July 1, 1982 request to con-duct site preparation activities pursuant to 10 C.F.R.

2. On August 23, 1982, Intervenors filed suit in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia against DOE, DOE's CRBRP Project Office, and the Environmental Protection Agency (" EPA"), alleging that an Agreement, executed by EPA and the CRBRP Project Office under 40 C.F.R. S 122.66(c)(4)(1) to allow site preparation ictivities, violated NEPA and the aforementioned EPA regulation. On September 3, 1982, the District Court issued an injunction restraining DOE from undertaking site preparation until the FES Supplement is completed and the final NPDES permit is issued for CRBRP. NRC contemplates issuance of the Final FES Supplement on November 1, 1982, and EPA contemplates issuance of the final permit on December 1, 1982. On September 7, 1982, PMC and DOE filed Notices of Appeal and Motions for Expedited Appeal in the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. These Motions requested that briefing be completed by September 15, 1982, oral argument be held on September 17, 1982, and that a decision be rendered on the merits by September 18, 1982. On September 8, 1982, the Eleventh Cir-cuit issued an Order granting PMC's Motion, requiring completion of briefing on September 14, 1982, and scheduling oral argument for September 15, 1982.
