GOVERNMENTS' RESPONSE TO NRC STAFF SUPPORT OF LILCO'S LEGAL AUTHORITY

SUMMARY

DISPOSITION MOTIONS ,

l On February 10, 1988, the Staff filed three pleadings in support of LILCO's summary disposition motions on Contentions 5 1

and 6, 10, and 7 and 8.1/ Suffolk County, New York State r and the Town of Southampton (the "Governments") have reviewed the Staff filings. While the Staff has raised some new legal and l

1/ NRC Staff Response to LILCO Motion for Summary Disposition of Contentions 5 and 6 (Making Decisions and Telling the Public)

(Feb. 10, 1988); NRC Staff Response to LILCO Motion for Summary i Disposition of Contention 10 (Access Control at the EPZ Perimeter) (Feb. 10, 1988); NRC Staff Response to LILCO Motion for Summary Disposition of Contentions 7 and 8 (Ingestion Pathway and Recovery and Reentry) (Feb. 10, 1988). The Staff also filed ,

a pleading concerning LILCO's Contention 4 and 9 Motion. NRC Staff Response to LILCO Motion for Summary Disposition of Contentions 4 and 9 (Tow Trucks and Fuel Trucks) (Feb. 10, 1988). i While the Staff believed material facts had been resolved, it did not support summary disposition on either contention. The Staff filed no response on LILCO's Motion for Summary Disposition of Contentions 1 and 2 (Directing Traffic).

factual matters,l/ in the main the Governments are satisfied tnat the Governments' responses to LILCO's Motions,3/ together with the Governments' Overview Memorandum,d/ demonstrate that: the I Staff (and LILCO) interpretation of amended 10 CFR S 50.47(c)(1) is in error; to the extent any "presumption" exists, the Govern-1/ For example, in its Contention 10 Rasponse, the Staff i recognized that in CLI-86-13, the Commission found that questions i remained concerning the extent of the Governments' familiarity with the LILCO Plan, the extent of delay in making decisions and recommendations, and the extent of delay in impi menting effective access control. The Staff then unsuccessfully attempts to answer these questions. LILCO, in its Motion for Summary Disposition of Contention 10, does not reference, respond to, or answer these questions.

Similarly, the Staff in its Contentions 5 and 6 Response, points out that the Commission, in CLI-86-13, called for more information on the familiarity of the Governmerts with the LILCO Plan and the extent of delays in decisionmaking and making recommendations to the public caused by a best efforts response. -

The Staff once more unsuccessfully attempts to answer these questions. Again, LILCO, in its Motion for Summary Disposition of Contentions 5 and 6, does not reference, respond to, or answer these questions.

Moreover, in the Contentions 7 and 8 Response, the Staff ider.tifies three factors which allegedly support summary disposition, including the previous ASLB findings with regard to i ingestion pathway and recovery and reentry procedures. Egg Staff's 7/8 Response at 1, 3, 7-8. The Staff's misplaced ,

reliance on the PID's findings introduce a legal argument which l is not advanced by LILCO and which contradicts both CLI-86-13 and i the Board's September 17, 1987 Memorandum and Order. l 1/ Answer of Suffolk County, the State of New York and the Towr, l of Southampton to LILCO's Motion for Suramary Disposition of Contentions 5 and 6 (Feb. 10, 1988); Opposition of Suffolk County, the State of New York, and the Town of Southampton to j LILCO's Motion for Summary Disposition of Contention 10 (Access Control at the EPZ Perimeter) (Feb. 10, 1988); and Suffolk County, State of Neu York and Town of Southampton Response to ,

LILCO's Motion for Summary Disposition of' Contentions 7 and 8 I (Ingestion Pathway and Recovery and Reentry) (Feb. 10, 1988).

ments have rebutted it; and there are material-factual issues in dispute with respect to each motion. Accordingly, the Go'lern-cents are filing no further substantive pleading on these matters.
