REQUEST OF SUFFOLK COUNTY AND NEW YORK STATE TO PRESENT WRITTEN BRIEFS AND ORAL ARGUMENTS ON THE LICENSING BOARD'S LOW POWER DECISION On October 29, 1984, the Licensing Board for low power matters issued an Initial Decision recommending that the Commission grant a low power license to LILCO for the Shoreham Nuclear Power Plant.
Under terms of the Commission's Order of May 16, 1984, the Commission has announced that it will perform an "immediate effectiveness review" of the Licensing Board's Initial Decision.
Suffolk County and New York State hereby request:
(1)
That the Commission invite the parties to file written briefs and present oral arguments on the low power issues pending before the Commission in the Licensing Board's Initial Decision.
(We respectfully request two weeks to submit such briefs and the right to reply in writing to briefs of opposing parties.)
(2)
That in scheduling this matter for briefing and oral arguments the Commission request the parties to focus on alleged k{$

-2 errors of the Licensing Board in failing to apply correctly the f'
' exemption provisions of Section 50.12(a), failing.to comply-I
- with the Commission's May.16 and July 18. Orders, and failing to
~
confront the arguments of the parties and'the evidence.upon which
'such-arguments were premised; and
-(3)
That the Commission not act.in the interim on the Licensing Board's decision of September 5, 1984, which authorized issuance to'LILCO of licenses for Phases I and II (fuel loading
-and cold. criticality testing).
The Licensing Board's Phase I and-II decision has been overtaken and subsumed.within the Board's October 29 low power decision.
The' County and State submit that the Licensing Board's i
{
decision presents not only unprecedented issues of factual, legal, f
and policy significance, but that it'is an unfounded'and arbitrary rejection of the position of the State and local governments.
Indeed, the Licensing' Board.has recommended that the Federal government impose its authority over the objections of State, County, i
}
and local governments without squarely confronting the repeated and reasoned arguments of the Coynty and State in opposition to such an exercise of Federal authority.
In this regard, we attach herewith ~the recent statement of the President of the United States.
The County and State, by various pleadings filed in the Shoreham proceeding, have made categorically clear that there should be i
no grant of a low power license to LILCO under the circumstances of this case, where-effective emergency preparedness is deemed i
by local, County, and State governments to be unachievable.
In.
