(Off-Site Emergency Planning Issues)
RESPONSE OF THE STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE TO THE APPEAL BOARD'S AUGUST 11, 1986 MEMORANDUM AND ORDER By its Memorandum and Order dated August 11, 1986, the Appeal Board solicited the views of the parties to this proceeding on the Board's proposal to entertain an appeal of interlocutory rulings by the Licensing Board on the admissibility of contentions on the New Hampshire Radiological Emergency Response Plan.
^
New Hampshire concurs fully in the position of the Appeal Board that its entertaining an interlocutory appeal of the Licensing Board's April and May rulings would be in the public interest.
As t
the Board has noted, the circumstances of this case militate in favor of allowing appellate review of the Licensing Board's interlocutory rulings during the pendency of the Licensing Board i
proceedings.
The Appeal Board's proposal is apparently premised on a i
perceived hiatus in the hearings before the two Licensing Boards in this case.
Memorandum and Order at 5.
(The two boards are the Wolfe Board for on-site emergency planning and safety contentions, 8608260156 860822 PDR ADOCK 05000443 G
PDR 58
F
, and the Hoyt Board for off-site emergency planning and safety contentions.)
As the Appeal Board is aware, however, the hearing process before the Licensing Boards is not completely on hold.
The Wolfe Board has now set a firm date of September 27 through October 1, 1986 for the limited reopened hearing on the on-site emergency planning and safety issues which were originally heard by the Licensing Board in August of 1983.
Mnreover, the litigation on the New Hampshire Radiological Emergency Response Plan still continues.
As reported in the State of New Hampshire's August 7, 1986 status report on the state emergency plan, the New Hampshire Civil Defense Agency is currently completing Revision 2 of the State Plan.
The submission of Revision 2 will, in turn, lead to renewed activity before the Hoyt Board.
In sum, the State of New Hampshire fully supports the proposal of the Appeal Board to direct appeals to be taken on the Licensing Board rulings on the admissibility of New Hampshire off-site emergency planning contentions when a hiatus in the Licensing Board proceedings so allows.
j Respectfully submitted, THE STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE j
