SUFFOLK COUNTY AND NEW YORK STATE MOTION FOR COMMISSION TO OPEN MEETING SCHEDULED FOR 3:00 P.M. TODAY The Commission is scheduled to meet at 3:00 p.m. for what it has described to be a " Status Report and Discussion of Options on Shoreham."
This meeting is scheduled to be closed.
Suffolk County and New York State hereby move the Commission to open the subject meeting to the p'ublic for the following reasons:
First, the Philadelphia Newspapers case makes clear that the Commission's " status report" concerning Shoreham may not be closed.
Philadelphia Newspapers, Inc. v. NRC, 727 F.2d 1195' (D.C. Cir. 1984).
Such a status report is clearly not action withinian adjudicatory proceeding.-
Second, the Commission's scheduled." Discussion of Options" is not: identified as being within the-_present' adjudication. :The
' Commission is scheduled merely to discuss unspecified " options;"
Theregis no legal basis on!which suchfanjunqualified characteri '

3.
- zation of the 3:00 p.m. meeting can be closed.
See Philadelphia Newspapers, supra.
Third, there is nothing of an adjudicatory nature before the Commission.
No party has filed a motion for Commission action, and there.is no emergency that could justify sua sponte action which forecloses the participation of the parties.
Fourth, Philadelphia Newspapers makes clear that if portions of a Commission meeting are not within the scope of Exemption 10 of the Sunshine Act, the NRC must open those portions to the public.
The Commission may not close an entire meeting because a part of that meeting is within Exemption 10.
Thus, even if part of the subject meeting could be closed, the " status report" could not.
Finally, the overriding public interest in the Shoreham procee' ding and the extensive involvement of the governments of
- New York--Statefand Suffolk County are' strong public policy
~ reasons to open.the Commission's meeting.
The'NRC'has done this in the Three Mile Island proceeding.
The case is nocless m-
_ compelling here.
E' Respectfully submitted,.
