SUFFOLK COUNTY AND STATE OF NEW YORK MOTION FOR THE COMMISSION TO OPEN MEETINGS ON LILCO'S PENDING REQUEST FOR A SECTION 50.12 EXEMPTION
/
Suffolk County and the State of New York hereby move the Commission to open for public attendance and observation any and all meetings of the Commission that are held to discuss or deliberate the Long Island Lighting company's pending Section
-50.12(a) request for an exemption from GDC 17.
A similar motion
-was made orally by counsel.for Suffolk County last Friday, at the oral argument before the Commission.
There are good reasons why the instant motion should be
~ granted.
First, Section 50.12(a) of the Commission's regulations
- -- the regulation which controls disposition of LILCO's pending exemption request -- provides that the exemption may be granted only if it is in the public interest.
Having thus made the 7Q 3
O n
Y
b;
- public interest a central concern, the public itself should not be precluded from observing the processes by which the Commission deals with this concern.
Second, the Commission's May 16 Order reiterates the Commission's settled practice that an exemption is an
" extraordinary" action that should be granted only where there are compelling exigent circumstances.
Given that LILCO's request raises a unique issue, the public would clearly benefit from gaining insight into the Commission's analysis of this unprece-dented issue.
Finally, the County and State understand that the Commission has-decided to open to the public its meetings in the Three Mile Island proceeding.
The public involvement in the Shoreham
. proceeding is at least as great here, particularly since the elected governments of both New York State and Suffolk County are principal participants.
Indeed,-to our knowledge,Jthis.is the only NRC case in which the President-of the United-States has publicly announced a policy position:
namely, "[T]his Administration does not favor the. imposition of Federal Government authority'overLthe objections of state-and local governments-in matters regarding the adequacy of an emergency evacuation plan ~for a. nuclear power plant such.as Shoreham."
