Dear Mr. Lee:

We presently have under revi'ew almost thirty applications for operating licenses. For your application, as well as most_ others, we are committing resources to assure that staff reviews are completed on a schedule consistent with your projected ' plant completion date. . Preliminary schedules for facilities projecting. plant completion in late 1982 or in 1983 were provided to Congress on April- 30, 1981 in connection with the "Bev111 Report." Your schedule .

was developed using your estimated construction. completion date and a set of. standard hearing assumptions.

-The preliminary hearing schedules assume a standard eleven-month time period from the issuance of the final Supplement to the Safety Evaluation Report (SSER) to the NRC decision date. This time period incorporates the efficiency a

measures projected to be in place in the near future. It is based on five months from issuance of the SSER to the start.of hearing, five_ months from start of hearing to .the initial decision by the Atomic Saf6ty Licensing Board, and one month from th,e initial decision to the Commission's decision date. These assumptions, and your relative prio'rity, will be re-examined on a case-by-case basis after the Commission completes its.. consideration of proposed changes to the regulations.

To assure proper internal resources ' allocation, it is important that you provide us a realistic and up-to-date projected construction completion

' date. Because of manpower limitations each review will be scheduled tn fall in a " window" of time wherein our reviews must be completed. An unexpected chenge of your completion date or your ability to provide needed information in accordance with this schedule will likely have an impact on the schedule for your review. Accordingly, you should examine your schedules in the attached Table and confirm or change your construction completion date within 14 days of receipt of this letter.

You should also provide quarterly updates thereafter until issuance of the Safety Evaluation Report for the facility.
