OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY I Morey M. Myers, Esq. l General Counsel for the Comonwealth of Pennsylvania ,

Office of the General Counsel i P.O. Box 11775  !

Harrisburg, PA 17108 l l

Dear Mr. Myers:

This is to infom you that the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's November 20,  !

1987 Petition for Hearing with respect to Philadelphia Electric Company's l Peach Bottom Nuclear Power Plant (Units 2 and 3), insofar as it requests ,

a fomal adjudicatory hearing at this time, is untimely and does not address '

the Comission's criteria in 10 C.F.R. 52.714(a), (d). See 52 Fed. Reg. 11386 (April 8, 1987); 10 C.F.R. 12.714(a)(1); 10 C.F.R. 5 2.772i(c).

See also BPI v. AEC, 502 F.2d 424 (D.C. Cir. 1974). It is therefore rejected.

There has been a consistent pattern of open comunications between the Comonwealth of Pennsylvania and tho NRC concerning the Peach Bottom j station since the facility was shut down. In addition to various i comunications with state officials, two public meetings concerning the .

Peach Bottom facility were held in the vicinity of the plant on September 24, l 1987 and November 5, 1987. The Comission encourages the Comonwealth of j Pennsylvania to continue to utilize these opportunities to comunicate I its concerns directly to the NRC staff. However, if the Comonwealth is proposing specific actions with respect to Peach Bottom, the Comononwealth is also free to file a petition with the Director, Office of Nuclear Reac'.cr Regulation, under 10 C.F.R. I 2.206 of the Comission's regulations.

Since ely, l
