. ANSWER OF THE COMMONNEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS TO THE MOTION OF THE APPLICANTS FOR AN ORDER SCHEDULING FURTHER PROCEEDINGS WITH-- RESPECT --_ - - - - -TO EMER_ G.E_NCY ._ _. _ P LA.N_N__IN_G_

The Commonwealth is in general agreement with the Applicants' proposed schedule with respect to the hearing to be held on emergency planning. We recommend the following revisions to that proposed schedule:

1. Ms. Shotwell, lead counsel for the Commonweal:h in this matter, has long-standing plans to vacation out-of' state for ten of the 30 days proposed by the Applicants for :he conduct of discovery. For this

, reason, and because of the possible need fcr a j _. .

.second round of discovery f:11cw;ng anal.,*s.s of l initial responses, the Cormonweal th requests a least an eight-week discover' Per 00. 9e t

j Cc=monwealth believes that a eight-week period will be sufficient, provided the parties s:ipula:e tha responses c any requests f:: dccumer-=, .ccluding NRC documents, will be served '.193 9 se"en days of l 810 617 0 33D ~ THIS DOCUMENT CONTAM1S $75p3 qq POOR QUAUTY PAGES $#;

l service of the requests. The.Commorwealth is 1 1

prepared to er;ter into such a stip;1a: ion.

2. The Commonwealth believes that the five-day period recommended by the Appli:an:s for the i Commonwealth's review of inf ormation obtained through discovery and preparation of " detailed contentions" is slightly inadequate. A period of seven days should be sufficient for review of materials not obtained until the la tter portion of the discovery period and preparation of a statement of the " bases" for the Commonwealth's emergency planning contention "se: forth with reasonable specificity" as required by 10 C.F.R. S2.714. h'h il e the Commonwealth agrees with the Applicants '

s suggestion tnat the final prehearing conference be held seven days after this filing, it does not agree that the purpose of that conference will be "to rule on admissibility of various contentions." The Board having previously accepted the Commonweal:b's

-- . contention with respect :o emergency planning, the sole purposes of the final prehearing conf erence will be as set forth a: 10 C.F.R. 52.752.

3. Given the requirement of 10 C.F.R. S 2. 7 43 (b) .

1 that written :estimony be served a: least 13 days ;n advance of the hearing, the period he: ween the filing of rebuttal testimony and cc=mencement of the 1

i 4

hearing ,ust be slightly longer than that prepose d by the app'.icants. As this Commission rule recognizes, a shorter period woui.d leave ins uf ficient time for thorough review of the testimony filed and pre-hearing preparation with full knowledge of the positions of all parties .

For the reasons and with the qualifications outlined above, the Commonwealth recommends that the Board adopt the fc11owing schedule:

Event Date

1. First Prehearing Conference June 22, 1981 and Opening of Discovery

2. Discovery Closes August 17, 1931

3. Written Statement of Bases for August 24, 1991 Commonwealth's Contention to be Filed

4. Final ? rehearing Conference August 31, 1981

5. Direct Tes timony to be Filed September 14, ic31

6. Rebuttal Testimony To be Filed September 28, 1981

7. Hearing Commences Octob=r 14, 1931
