JOINT MOTION TO REVISE HEARING SCHEDULE Commonwealth Edison Company (" Applicant") moves, on behalf of itself, the NRC Staff and Intervenors Rorem, et al.,

the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board (" Board") to enter an order modifying the hearing schedule in this proceeding in the manner set forth below. In support of the Joint Motion, Applicant states:

1. The present hearing schedule, which is attached to the Board's Prehearing Conference Order dated August 1, 1985, provides that with specific exceptions, discovery is to end on September 27, 1985. This deadline is based in part on Applicant's response to Intervenors' first set of interrogatories being filed and delivered by August 9. Although Applicant has provided substantial information in its various partial re-sponses to Intervenors' interrogatories, the process has not been completed. This activity should be completed by September 6, 1985. Applicant's filing, the seventh partial response, G

should include (i) the remaining answers to any interrogatories that were not subject to objection and (ii) additional answers 1

to interrogatories that were subject to o,bjection initially but are being answered now in modified form as a result of negotia-tions among the parties.

2. Given the circumstances described in Paragraph 1., the parties have agreed that an extension of the discovery deadline from September 27 to October 28, 1985 is appropriate.

This action necessarily impacts the deadlines for handling motions for summary disposition and the deadlines for testimony filing, prehearing motions and the hearing date. These revised dates are shown in Paragraph 4. The deadlines for the filing of pleadings and notices are intended to be " receipt" dates, i.e., in the hands of the Board and parties on the date indicated.

3. It is not intended by the revised schedule set

. forth below that any deadlines affecting Ms. Rorem's emergency planning contention be changed. In addition, it is not intended to change any deadlines not impacted by the change to the September 27 discovery deadline, e.g., the deadlines for the 82-05 issue.
