By letter dated February 3, 1992, as supplemented on March 16, 1992, TV Electric filed a request for extension of the latest construction completion date specified in Construction Permit No. CPPR-127 to August 1, 1995.
In its justification for the extension request TV Electric stated that the estimated one-year suspension of Unit 2 construction, which began in April 1988, was necessary to allow TV Electric to concentrate its resources on the completion l
of Unit 1.
The completion and startup of Unit I tock longer than anticipated, i'
forcing TV Electric to delay significant design activities on Unit 2 until l
l June 1990, followed by the resumption of significant coristruction activity in l
l January 1991.
As discussed raore fully in the staff's evaluation of the requested
(
extension, we have concluded good cause nas been shown for the delay and that 1
the requested extension is for a reasonable period. We have further concluded that the requested extension involves no significant hazards consideration, l_
and therefore no prior public notice is required.
