20555 In the Matter of METROPOLITAN EDISON COMPANY (Three Mile Island Nuclear Station, Unit No. 1)
Docket No. 50-289 SP (Restart-Management Phase)
Dear Chairman Palladino and Commissioners:
Licensee has reviewed the Appeal Board's Decision of May 24, 1984 (ALAB-772), on the Management Phase of the TMI-l restart hearing, with particular emphasis on the relationship of that decision to the Commission's planned decision on whether to lift the immediate effectiveness of the Commission's 1979 suspension orders.
We note at the outset that the Appeal Board reaches no conclusions which contradict those of the Licensing Board on any of the management issues but has found that the record of the hearing is inadequare to support the Licensing Board's decision in three areas.

i Chairman Palladino and Commissioners May 25, 1984 Page Two l
1 The Appeal Board properly noted that its decision must be based on the hearing record and that in performing its adjudicatory hearing function, it could not properly take into account many of the reports and communications available to the Commission.
In deciding whether to lift the suspension of TMI-l's operating authority, however, the Commission is not confined to the adjudicatory hearing record and may properly take into account other reliable information available to it.
All three of the matters on which the Appeal Board has reopened the record have been the subject of extensive materials available to the l
Commission and its staff since the close of the hearing before l
the Licensing Board.
The Commission has an obligation to sum-marily lift Licensee's suspension and restore the original rights under the license when it has sufficient information to l
do so.
Licensee is still. reviewing the Appeal Board's Deci-sion.
However, based on review to date, Licensee does not be-lieve that Decision, including the Appeal Board's order to reopen on these discrete subjects, warrants any change in the Commission's tentative schedule for a decision on lifting imme-diate effectiveness.
Licensee expects to file with the Commis-sion on May 29, 1984, further comments in this regard with factual and legal support for its position.
Respectfully submitted, SHAW, PITTMAN, POTTS & TROWBRIDGE By:
