APPLICANT'S ANSWER TO REQUEST BY FRIENDS OF THE EARTH FOR A STAY Preliminary Statement On November 10, 1984, intervenor Friends of the Earth
(" FOE") filed a pleading in which it " appeal [s] the issuance of a low power license to PECo and petition [s] the Commis-sion for an inmediate stay."
As discussed below, FOE's appeal is now before the Atomic Safety and Licensing Appeal Board
(" Appeal Board")..
FOE's appeal to the Commission is therefore premature.
Further, FOE's stay request is entire-ly without merit and should be denied for the reasons expressed by the Appeal Board in ALAB-789, which. issued-on November 5, 1984.
Argument As explained in the Appeal Board's unpublished Memoran-
'dum, dated October 29, 1984, FOE has appealed the Second Partial Initial Decision of the presiding Atomic Safety and 8411200183 841116

~ decision by the D Appeal : Board on the ;correctne'ss of the Second Partial Initial /Dec'sion f'or'the Commission to review i
n at this: time.
With _ respect. to FOE's stay. application, - the. Appeal Board properly determined-in ALAB-789 -.that FOE had failed: to satisfy any~ofJ the - four requirements '.for-obtaining- ' interim-relief and that'its stayfreguest was untimely as:well.2I
.In:

its. request, ' FOE. states Lnothing of substance L not already :
considered and. rejected by both the - Appeal - Board.
.Essen-
.tially the same. arguments have also been rejected' by the.
United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit' in an 1/
Philadelphia Electric Company ;(Limerick Generating Station, Units 1 and 2), LBP-84-31, 20 NRC (August 29, 1984).
-2/
FOE's assertion that it was "not notified of the issuance of: this license"- is contradicted by. the record.
A copy of the letter from Mr.
Eisenhut to Applicant, dated October 26, 1984, stating that the license had been issued, was served upon all parties to the Limerick proceeding (with a copy of the L enclosed.
license), including Mr. Anthony, the representative of FOE.
