APPLICANTS' POSITION AS TO SCHEDULING.0F OFFSITE EMERGENCY PLANNING ISSUES It is the Applicants' understanding that the last of the Massachusetts local plans is supposed to be available November 30, 1983 and the suggested schedule is based upon that " trigger date". It should be noted that with respect to the State Plan and any local plan made available prior to November 30, 1983, the time to formulate contentions will be longer by virtue of the earlier availability.

At the hearing the Applicants suggested the possibility that matters might be facilitated by declaring discovery open at this time which would permit interested parties to 9309190167 830913 PDR ADOCK 05000443 o G PDR

obtain the draft plans which Massachusetts is reluctant to release voluntarily. Unfortunately it appears that the language of 10 CFR $ 2.740(b) precludes the opening of discovery prior to the admission of contentions. Thua absent a willingness by Massachusetts to engage in voluntary discovery prior to the admission of contentions no discovery is possible.

The schedule set forth below collapses the times set out in the Board's earlier tentative schedule and also removes any particularized scheduling for the Summary Disposition process. Summary disposition can be utilized under the rules of practice standing alone.

Nov. 30, 1983 Last local plans available to parties Dec. 9, 1983 Contentions due - in hand Dec. 15, 1983 Responses (other than Staff) to contentions due - in hand Dec. 19, 1983 Staff Responses due - in hand Dec. 23, 1983 Responses of original propounders of contentions due - in hand.
