Dear Congressman Stark:
I am responding on behalf of the Commission to your November 12, 1992 letter to the Chairman on the subject of Transnuclear Incorporated's applicacion (XSNM-02702), dated July 21, 1092, for a license to export icradiated fuel from the Shoreham nu"Jear power plant in New York to Coq 'ma in France for reprocessing.
In particular, you have requested the Commission to grant the Nuclear Control Institute's October 30 petitjon for a hearing and for intervention by providing a full Tral hearing on the pending application.
Subpart I of Part 110 of the Commission's rules provide procedures for public participation in export matters and
" constitute the exclusive basis for hearings on export liconec applications."
10 C.F.R. S 110.80.
Pursuant to those procedures the Commission is currently receiving responses to Nuclear Control Institute's petition.
Following all timely responses, the Institute will have an opportunity to reply.
The Commission will then consider the petition and all the papers filed on it under the standards provided in 10 C.F.R. S 110.84.
After full considera* ion, the Commission will issue its decision whether to grant the request for a hearing and if so what form the hearing should take.
Whether or not a hearing is <tranted, the Commission will, of course, give appropriate consideration to its decision on the license application.
Because the rules do not contemplate quasi-judicial hearings, but.
rather that ariy oral hearing would be of the legislative style, there is no ex parte bar to your communication.
10 C.F.R.
S 110.91.
Tnus you may be assured that your letter will be circulated to the Commissioners so that they may be aware of your views.
A copy of the Commission's decision on Nuclear Co.itrol Institute's petitica will be provided to you.
Sincerely, lam C.
arler General Counsel y* A w
