' OCRE ANSWER.TO APPLICANTS' MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE AN

' ANSWER TO OCRE'S AMENDED RESPONSE TO NRC, STAFF'S MOTION FOR

SUMMARY

' DISPOSITION OF ISSUE #13 On July 14, 1983, Applicants filed a motion for leave to file an answer to OCRE's amended response to the NRC Staff's motion,for summary disposition of. Issue #13.

j Pursuant to 10 CFR 2.730 (c), intervenor Ohio Citizens for Responsible Energy (." OC RE " ) files this response opposing their motion.

Contrary to Applicants' assertion, OCRE's amended response was exactly that: an amended response to the Staff's summary 2

r disposition motion, and not a motion for a continuance.

As such, the prohibition on further responses in 10 CFR 2.749 (a) applies.

Applicants' filing is thus impermissible.

Applicants also quote a passage from the Licensing Board's Octob.er 6, 1982 Memorandum and Order (Concerning Procedures COE for Late-Filed Contentions) ~ suggesting that tliey have a right EE O@

to respond when an.intervenor introduces new material.

It is Lin oO crucial to note that the section quoted pertained to the

-Q 00 Board's special procedures for responding to late-filed con-tv <

i Sm tentions, and not summary disposition motions.

The Com-No mission's regulations allow no further. replies to a response MO3

unauthori zed reply is filed, the reply should not be attached.

For the foregoing reasons, Applicants' motion must be denie d.-
