8. WEPC0 has never intended and does not intend the Point Beach  :

site to become a permanent repository for spent fuel. WEPC0 is actively seeking, and intends to continue to actively seek, arrangements for ultimate off-site disposition of spent fuel assembifes.

9. The above-required information will be provided to each of the following member-representatives of Intervenor. Intervenor will notify WEPC0 of substitutions or address changes. '

PROPOSED FORM OF ORDER In a joint motion datnd December 13, 1978, Wisconsin Electric Power Company ("NEPCO"), Lakeshore Citizens for Safe Energy ("Intervenor"), the NRC Staff, and the State of Wisconsin moved this Board for an order approving the with-drawal of Intervenor from this proceeding in accordance with a settlement agreement entered into among Intervenor, WEPCO, and the NRC Regulatory Staff dated December 13, 1978. All parties and participants, including Intervenor, having moved for the Board's acceptence of Intervenor's withdrawal, the Board accordingly acceptE the withdrawal of Intervenor as a party to this proceeding.

In the same motion, all three parties and the State of Wisconsin moved the Board for an order dismissing this pro-ceeding. The withdrawal of the. sole intervenor removes both the need and the occasion for further evidentiary hearings in this proceeding. There are no longer any matters in controversy

k between the parties in this proceeding and, consequently, there is no issue to be heard by the Board.

Dismissal of this proceeding is consistent with the Co==ission's regulations which do not contenplate a hearing on an application for an operating license, or an amendment thereto, in the absence of any =atters in controversy, 10 C.F.R. Sections 2.104, 2.105, 50. 58 (b) , and 50.91, and is co'..sistent with the general powers of the presiding officer in 10 C.F.R. Section 2. 718. Moreover, dismissal of a pro-ceeding pursuant to agreement of the parties is consistent with the general policy of administrative law favoring harmonious settlement of contested issues, and with the pro-visions of 10 C.F.R. Section 2.759 which specifically en-courages the fair and reasonable settlement of outstancing issues in NRC licensing proceedings. The joint motion to dis =iss the proceeding will, therefore, be granted, and the proceeding before this Scard will be terminated.

Accordingly, IT IS CRDERED, that the proceeding before this Scard, noticed in the Poard's " Notice of Hearing on Amendments to Facility Cperating Licenses, and of Special Fre-Hearing Conference," dated July 31, 1975, 43 Fed. Reg. 34349 (August 7, 1973), be, and it hereby is, dismirsed.
