I Docket Nos. 50-454 and 50-455 0C

Dear Administrative Judges:

On July 2, 1984 Intervenors, DAARE/ SAFE and the League of Women Voters, filed a motion to extend the time to file petitions for hearings under the Emergency Planning Stipulation. By letter to Intervenors' counsel dated July 5, 1984, which was mailed to the Board, I informed Intervenors' counsel that Commonwealth Edison Company was willing to meet with Intervenors to discuss their need for additional time. On July 9, 1984, representatives of the Company and Intervenors met in Rockford for this purpose.

The outcome of these discussions is set forth below.

Intervenors' motion requested an extension of time for a " reasonable period to allow Intervenors ... to deter-mine whether the Commitments have been satisfied." Intervenors have now specified that they desire a 60-day extension until i

September 14, 1984, in which to any. Intervenors stated that this 60-day period would be file their petitions, if I l

I Administrativo Judges Page Two l July 13, 1984 utilized as follows: (1) the first 30 days would be devoted to completing the independent assessment of Edison's resolu-tion of commitments; (2) within a week following the end of this 30-day period Intervenors will meet with Edison to discuss the results of their assessment and state their 4

position with respect to the commitments and; (3) by the 14th of September, Intervenors will file petitions for hearing with respect to any commitments they believe have not been adequately resolved.

)

In exchange for Edison's agreement to support Intervenors' request for a 60-day extension, Intervenors stated they they would officially notify Edison of their belief that Edison had satisfactorily resolved Commitments A, B, C, D, E, I, and J. In addition, Intervenors stated that if Edison supported their request, Intervenors would agree that they could only challenge Edison's resolution of Commitment W based upon evidence from the Mayors that Edison did not in good faith discuss concerns raised by the Mayors or in good faith critically review plans submitted by the Mayors.

On the basis of these agreements, Edison supports Intervenors request for an extension of time until September 14, 1984 in which to file petitions for hearings under the Emergency Planning Stipulation. I have been authorized to

" represent that counsel for Intervenors has read this letter and agrees with its contents.
