Units 1 and 2) )

APPLICANTS' FURTHER ANSWER TO SUNFLOWER'S MOTION TO READMIT ISSUE NO. 2 On February 14, 1984, Sunflower Alliance, et al. ,

(" Sunflower") filed a motion to readmit Issue No. 2 (Financial Qualifications) based on the February 7, 1984 decision of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit in New England Coalition on Nuclear Pollution v. NRC, 727 F.2d 1127 (D.C. Cir. 1984). Responses were filed by the Applicants, Staff and Ohio Citizens for Responsible Energy.

On April 19, 1984, the Chairman of the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board orally directed that Applicants file a further brief on the financial qualifications issue by May 7, 1984, and that Applicants' brief inform the other parties that the Board

! had authorized replies to Applicants' pleading within ten days of  ;

its filing. In a subsequent telephone conversation, the Chairman 0406190152 840615 ~1 PDR ADOCK 05000440 0 PDR 3503-

/ extended Applicants' filing deadline until four business days after the Commission issued its second statement of policy on i c

financial qualifications issues. That statement of policy was issued by the Commission on June 12, 1984. 49 Fed. Reg.'24111.

A copy is attached hereto.  ;

Applicants' February 29, 1984 answer to Sunflower's motion pointed out that the Commission's February 27, 1984 Statement of ,

Policy, 49 Fed. Reg. 7981, directed licensing boards to continue ,

to: treat the 1982 financial qualifications rule as valid. The  !

. Licensing Board was therefore without authority to readmit Issue  ;

4 h No. 2. The Staff's March 5, 1984 answer to Sunflower's motion suggested'that, pending further guidarce from the Commission, the >

i

. Licensing Board hold the motion in abeyance.

. i The Commission has now provided that further guidance. In s i

the June 12, 1984 Statement of Policy, the Commission states that it is responding to the New England Coalition decision.by .

l conducting a new rulemaking proceeding responsive to the concerns expressed by the Court of Appeals (See 49 Fed. Reg. 13044). The new proposed rule would continue to exclude financial l.

qualifications issues from operating license proceedings.1/- The  ;

i i Commission states that "the March 31, 1982 rule will continue in j effect until finalization of the commission's response to the Court's remand" and that-licensing and appeal boards are "to l l

1/ ~As with the March 1982 rule, the proposed rule vould apply '

to " electric utilities." Applicants all come within the definition of that term. See 10 C.F.R. S 50.2(x), 49 Fed. >

Reg. 13044, 13047, 13048 (1984) (proposed SS 2.4(s), ,

proceed accordingly." As a result, licensing and appeal boards are not "to begin the process of accepting and litigating financial qualifications contentions ...." Id.

Based on the June 12 Statement of Policy, the Licensing

. Board must therefore deny Sunflower's motion. As a result of the .

June 12 Statement of Policy, the Licensing Board is without

  • jurisdiction to readmit Issue No. 2. See Memorandum and Order (Concerning Psychological Stress Contention), LBP-82-53A, 16 N.R.C. 208 (1982); Memorandum and Order (Motion for Reconsideration or' Certification), LBP-82-69, 16 N.R.C. 751 (1982).
