Dear Sir,

I participated, as you know, in the Sept. 8, 1978 conference telephone call involving the N.R.C.

staff's notion for alterations of dates in previous orders of the Eoard.

I t wa s a t tha t tine that TexPIRG first becane aware of the provisions ef the Sept. 1,1978 Unard Order regarding a corrected notice of intervention procedures.

I asserted at that tine that the present petitioners, such as TcxPIRG, should he tren'ted with rights equal to those of any new petitioners.

Furthermore, I noted during the conversation that pernitting present petitioners to file additional contentions prior to the deadline for filing contentions by a second group of petitioners would not involve any delays in the hearing schedule.

Af ter considerable discussion, I understood the Board to state that the presently l

filed petitioners would be treated as equals to any petitioners who responded to the Sept. 1 Order of the Board, with respect to additional deadlines for cont..

Ct ns resulting from the corrected notice of intervention procedures.

l however, in recent discussions with :fr. Schinki and >ts. Silberstein, attorneys for the N.R.C. staf f, I t.as told tha t other parties to the proceeding did not recollect such a decision being made by the Enard.

In that they did not recount I

the cenference call conversation of Sept. 8 in the manner I have, their position is apparently that ve may not file additional contentions at the same tire new petitioners would.

I would request that you clarify the intent of the Sept. 8 conversation and deternination on this point for the staff.

L'nder assumptions derived fron that call, TexpIRG helieves it nay file further appropriate contentions 15 days prior to a pre-hearing conference. As you realize, unlike new petitioners, we filed contentions without the benefit of a Final Supplerent to the Environnental State-rent, and were restricted by the Sept. 1 Order from responding to the Sept. 11 corrected notice. Ve certainly hope that the F.oard will clarify its Sept. 8 decision.
