Dear Senator Hollings:
I am responding to your letter dated December 17,1998, addressed to Chairman Shirley Ann Jackson. Your letter raised severalissues for consideration by the Commission
' durii.g the Oconee license renewal process. Under Nuclear Regulatory Commission procedural rules for adjudications, the Commission has an appellate role in proceedings commenced before its Atomic Safety and Licensing Boards. Because of that role, I trust that you will understand that Cornmissioners must remain impartial during the pendency of a case, whether it is before a Licensing Board or on appeal to the Commission.
On September 16,1998, an Atomic Safety and Licensing Board (ASLB) was established to consider intervention petitions that addressed license renewal for the Oconee Nuclear Station.
On December 29,1998, the ASLB issued a decision which denied intervention to the petitioners in the proceeding. A copy of that Order, LBP-98-33, is enclosed. The petitioners are entitled to an appeal of the decision in LBP-98-33 to the Commission.
A copy of your letter and this response will be placed in the Oconee hearing docket and served on the parties to the proceeding.
