Iy notice issued en August 29 , 1979, this l ocard distrim,uted ccpies to all par.ies in this preceeding.

That letter apparently miseenstrues the Ccemissien's dec.,.sion issued en July 10, 1979. The Ccemission did not say tha :ne evnership plan set ferth in the application eculd ~

not be a tered to meet future conditiens. Ecwever, while the ossibility of future :hange =ay exist, the Sitine Board shou _d insist . tat at each peint in.the proceeding 1: ~ has l

Ce f 0re it app'.i:an 3 who are then ready, able and willin-  !

to bui_d :.e p cpesed plant if approval is cbrained. The '

3 card shculd not consider an Epplica icn by a du=mv ce=many l f,.1nnasnopresen intentien to build the plan ..' Since ' -

l To: 5 tate of New Ycrk September 5, '979 Re: Application of N.Y.S. Electric & Gas Corp. and Long Island Lighting Cc.

said it would proceed withcut a partner, there are no viable applicants before the Scard. It would not necessarily _

fellcw that an applica:icn by sericus, viable applicants having a present intentien to follcw through en the proj ect must be dismissed because of the pessibility that applicants' intentiens =ay chanve in the future.

Further=c re , Rechester Gas is incorrect in characterizing the issue as whether there is "a rather definitive statement of the extent of each utility's participation in the proposed prc.'ect" (letter o c. . 1 <-

emphasis added). The issue before the Scard here is breader than whether LILCO's participation will be 50%

or 49%. The issue is whether LILCO intends te be a builder er owner at all, and whether NYSI&G intends to preceed at all id LILCO dees not. Therefere the identitv of the creecsed . .

cwners, net merelv. the exact cercent c their participation, is in questien here.

For these reascns, and these set forth in our reply brief dated August 3, 1979, we renew cur request tha t the Scard dismiss the application.
