Fabian G. Palomino Special Counsel to the Governor Encl.

Statement of Fabian G. Palomino, Special Counsel to Governor Mario M. Cuomo May it please the Board:

My fiame is Fabian G. Palomino.

I am representing Mario M. Cuomo, Governor of the State of New York.

I have duly served my notice of appearance and submit the original to the Board with certification of service.

The Governor thanks Judge Laurenson for inviting the State of New York to participate in this proceeding.

The State of New York opposes approval of LILCO's Shoreham off-site emergency evacuation plan because LILCO lacks the legal authority to implement the plan for the reasons outlined in contentions 1 to 10.

Moreover, and with due deference to this Bcard, it is the position of the State that this Board does not have jurisdiction to rule on those contentions; and, if the Board rules on them, it would violate rights reserved to the State under the 10th amendment to the Federal Constitution.

If LILC0 desires to challenge the State position, it must do so in a State court in an appropriate proceeding.

The State also objects to the plan because it is not adequate and not implemer, table and therefore, cannot assure reasonable protection of the public in i_

the event of a nuclear accident for other reasons which will be established in this l

proceeding.

l The State is aware of the rule that it must take this proceeding as it i

finds it in the absence of good cause.

In the event that the State believes there is information which would assist the Board which relates to past events in this l

l proceeding, it will seek to present it to the Board through appropriate NRC procedures.
