NOTICE OF ISSUANCE OF AMENDMENTS TO CONSTRUCTION PERMITS The U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Comission (the Commission) has issued Amendment No. 6 to Construction Pemit Nos. CPPR-142 and CPPR-143. The l

.u
. rules and regulations. The Comission has made appropriate findings as required by the Act and the Comission's rules and regulations in 10 CFR Chapter I, i
which are set forth in the amendments. Prior public notice of the amendments was not required since the amendments do not involve a significant hazards-consideration.
By January 13, 1986, the applicants may file a request for a hearing with respect to issuance of the amendments to the subject facility construction permits and any person whose interest may be affected by this proceeding and who wishes to participate as a party in the proceeding must file a written petition for leave to intervene. Requests for a hearing and petitions for leave to intervene shall be filed in accordance with the Comission's " Rules of Practice for Domestic Licensing Proceedings" in 10 CFR Part 2.
If a request for a hearing.or petition for leave to intervene is filed by the above date, the Comission or an Atomic Safety and Licensing Board, designated by the Commission or by the Chairman of the' Atomic Safety and Licensing Board Panel, will rule on the request and/or petition and the Secretary or the desionated Atomic Safety :.od Licensing Board will issue a notice of hearing or an appro-priate order.
As required by 10 CFR 2.714, a petition for leave to intervene shall set forth with particularity the interest of the petitioner in the proceeding and how that interest may be affected by the results of the proceeding. The petition should specifically explain the reasons why intervention should be permitted with particular reference to the following factors:
(1) The nature of the petitioner's right under the Act to be made a part to the proceeding;
3
.(2) the nature and extent of the petitioner's property, financial, or other interest in the proceeding; and (3) the possible effect of any order which may be entered in the proceeding on the petitioner's interest. The petition should also identify the specific aspect (s) of the subject matter of the proceeding as to which petitioner wishes to intervene. Any person who has filed a petition for leave to intervene or who has been admitted as a party ~may amend the petition without requesting leave of the Board up to fifteen (15) days prior to the first prehearing conferenc'e scheduled in the proceeding, but such an amended petition must satisfy the specificity requirements described above.
Not later than fifteen (15) days prior to the first prehearing conference scheduled in the proceeding, a petitioner shall file a supplement to the peti-tion to intervene which must include a list of the contentions which are sought to be litigated in the matter, and the bases for each contention set forth with reasonable specificity. Contentions shall be limite.1 to matters within the scope of the amendments under consideration. A petitioner who fails to file such a supplement which satisfies these requirements with respect to at least one contention will not be pennitted to participate as a party.
1 Those permitted to intervene become parties to the proceedir.g. subject to any limitations in the order granting leave to intervene, and have the oppor-tunity to participate fully in the conduct of the hearing, including th.e opportunity to present evidence and cross-examine witnesses.
l Since the Connission has determined that the amendments involve no signi-ficant hazards consideration, if a hearing is requested, it will not stay the effectiveness of the amendments. Any hearing held would take place while the amendments are in effect.
. A request for a hearing or a petition for leave to intervene must be filed with the Secretary of the Commission, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
