~

I Joint applicants Arizona Public Service Company, Southern California Edison Company, ED Paso Electric C'om-pany, San Diego Gas and Electric Company, Nevada Power Company, Department of Water and Power of the City of Los Angeles, City of Anaheim, City of Burbank, City of Glendale, ,

City of Pasadena, and City of Riverside (the " Joint Appli-cants") recently received by mail a copy of the statement of issues filed by the California Energy Resources Conservation ,

and Development Commission (" California Energy Commission"),

dated June 20, 1979, and a copy of the statement of issues filed by the California Public Utilities Commission ("PUC"),

also dated June 20, 1979. Responses in opposition to any 7008130 d

or al1 of the questiohs presented in these statements are to be filed by July 5, 1979. Joint Applicants hereby request the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board to grant an extension of time to July 16, 1979, in which to file such responses.

The basis for Joint Applicants' request is as follows. The PUC's statement of issues contains 44 ques-tions covering 34 pages. With few exceptions, each question consists of several sub-questions. The California Energy Commission's. statement of issues contains 46 questions. In view of the large number of detailed questions, Joint Appli-cants need additional time to study the statements of is-sues. In addition, since a majority of the questions sub- -

mitted by the California Energy Commission relate solely to -

~~

the California participants, attorneys for Joint Applicants need additional time= 7h to consult with the California partici-pants prior to preparing any response. An extension of time to July 16, 1979, offers Joint Applicants a reasonable period in which to review the statements of issues and file any responses.

The undersigned attorney has been in contact with attorneys for the PUC and the California Energy Commission i e L respecting this request, and has been advised by such at-torneys that the two California agencies are agreeable to an j extension of time to July 16, 1979.

II In its " Order Following Special Prehearing Con-ference" dated March 6, 1979, the Licensing Board estab-lished a schedule for completing the public hearing process.

That schedule provides for the second prehearing conference to be held 95 days from date of issuance of the NRC Staff's Draft Environmental Statement (" DES"). The notice of avail-ability of the DES is dated April 19, 1979. Assuming this date to be the date of issuance of the DES, the second prehearing conference should be scheduled for July 23, 1979.

Accordingly, Joint Applicants hereby request that the, Board set the second prehearing conference for July 23, 1979, or -

as soon thereafter as is convenient for the Board. e RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED this 5th day of July, 1979.
