Director, Division of Rules and Records Office of Administration U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, D. C. 20555

Dear Mr. Felton:
[r This letter is to request the NRC's consideration of the t
establishment of a local Public Document Room in Austin,
{
I understand that Mr. Hancock, the Director of the I
Electric Utility for the City of Austin, has been in contact E
with Mr. Siedle in Arlington with the NRC and Ms. Souder in E
your division concerning this matter, and their sugg*estion was that we communicate wath your office concerning our desire for a local Public Document Room.
j i
My interest in establishing a Public Document Room in E
Austin, Texas centers around the need to be open and com=unicative
[...,L,
with the public with respect to the construction and operation J
of a nuclear facility. Austin is the academic center for the E-i.-
University of Texas and its.80,000 students, as well as being F:
=*:-
i the Capital of the State of Texas. As a municipally-owned
[
electric utility system, the City of Austin experiences an unusual public involvement in utility ma :ers.
"~
The City of Austin is a sixteen percent par-icipant in -he
[
South Texas Project, currently under constructien in P.a:2gorda E
County, near the Gulf of Mexico. As such, it is approximately I-160 = les from Austin to the Public :ocumen Roco !cca:ed in
[.
33y C :y, Texas and, as a result, a ;ccal Publi: ')ocu:en: ?.c::
[;.
in A:.:s.n -ould be very beneficial.
'_i t
Tne City of Austin has made available publi::
- pies :f 9
the Eny rennental Repert, the App:1:2: t on, -he e ; trin2-v Safe:y. analysis, the Final Safety Analysis and :ne :: pa-i:n y
E documents ass:ciated wi:h the Applica::en f:r the Oper2:.;;

These are on file in Austin a the Univers::y :i Texss Cen:er for Energy S:udies, the City of Austin Public
- ibrary and the Electri: Utility Administrative Offi:es.

The City of Austin has a very excellent professional ary staff, and we would be very pleased to provide the s.
necessary facilities to accommodate and to control the materials 3
required for the Public Document Room in the Austin downtown T'
~
Fublic Library.
It is my unde.rstanding that Mr. Hancock has been in
- p...i contact with Ms. Souder and has indicated to her that initially J.~3.
we would like to start with the normal materials that appear in
.,f.d. ;, ;.
a normal local Public Document Room for those materials y'
associated with the project, after some certain mutually h... -
My -
acceptable date.
f'TI h'e certainly understand that the NRC cannot provide local Public Document Rooms in all cities in the United States.
c. 5'w j,,[
I feel that the City of Austin is unique in that it has been YTh;4..f extremely active, from a public point of view, with respect to I' '.$' 5 'M ",,
the nuclear issue and, as a matter of fact, has gone through five public votes with respect to the nuclear issue and Austin's
- c.!:. ;
participation.in the South Texas Project.
It is important that 4h5 %y::."
we be as straightforward and honest with our citizens as is 1p$;/.F 4.:i 1...
humanly possible, and I feel this is an unusual opportunity to provide factual and complete infomation to the citi: ens with 7
L.
,.h.
respect to the development of this project.
f @ Q(.$S i 2:\\.:;:
I would like to take this opportunity to express' my appreciation for the straightforward and open manner in which Y "'.@ C.
SRC has been responding to our previous concems and questions N,.?T-5 g. j and, in particular, the response of Mr. Siedle's office in 27 ;9.wk.9 I
'J Arlington, Texas to my inquiries and to inquiries from other citi: ens in Austin relating to the South Texas Project.
