ASLBP No. 93-671-01-OLA-3 MOTION FOR LEAVE TO PARTICIPATE BY A NON-PARTY l
l COMES NOW, The National Whistleblower Center and' moves the Atomic Safety and Licensing' Board to grant it leave to participate in this proceeding for the limited purpose of filing l
a Motion to Compel Filing of Transcribed Depositions With The Commisssion.
The NationL1 Whistleblower Center is a tax-exempt, non-profit organization founded in 1988.
The purpose of the NWC is to assist whistleblowers to bring allegations of corporate wrongdoing and/or government corruption to the attention of the public.
The Center's interenst in this proceeding is limited to furthering the public's ability to obtain access to information related to OI Case No. 2-90-020R and, in particular, the instant proceeding.

Argument - Public Scrutiny Is Essential-It is essential that proceedings dealing with issues of public health and safety are subject to public scrutiny.
Violations of the regulations governing this proceeding affect the outcome of the proceeding and thereby the public.
If a non-party has a position on such an issue they are permitted under 10 C.F.R. 5 2.715(a), at the discretion of the presiding officer, to f
make a limited appearance.
Such limited appearances'are sometimes necessary to bring to the attention of the Board l
l circumstances which have a bearing on the proceeding.
In this l
case, the National Whistleblower Center, when seeking to gain-more information regarding the diesel generator issues has 1
uncovered the fact that the Licensee and the NRC Staff have apparently transcribed diesel generator depositions but has not-forwarded copies of such to the Commission.
The Center believes that the documents will contribute significantly to the public's understanding of the operations or activities of the government and that the disclosure of these documents is in the public interest.
2
WHEREFORE, The National Whistleblower Center seeks leave to file a Motion with the Board to compel parties to file depositions that have been transcribed so that the Center and public may have access to this important documentaiton.
