Dear Mayor Weatherly:
N l am responding to your letter of May 5,1999, addressed to Chairman Shirley Ann Jackson. In your letter you requested that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) grant standing to the Orange County Board of Commissioners in the Shearon Harris proceeding (Docket No. 50-400-LA), which is currently before an NRC Atomic Safety and Licensing Board (ASLB). As noted in your letter, Orange County has filed an intervention petition with the Commission challenging the license amendment request of Carolina Power and Light to increase the spent fuel storage capacity at the Shearon Harris plant.
Under NRC 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 Commissioners must remain impartial during the pendency of a case, whether it is before a Licensing Board or on appeal to the Commission.
With respect to your request that a hearing in the proceeding be held in the iriangle area, I am enclosing a recent order of the ASLB for the Shearon Harris proceeding. The first prehearing conference held on May 13,1999, was held in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. As indicated in the enclosed Order, subsequent locations for hearings will be designated should the standing and related issues be resolved in favor of the Orange County Board of Commissioners.
A copy of your letter and this respon9e will be placed in the Shearon Harris hearing docket and served on the parties to the proceeding.
Sincerely, W
Annette L. Vietti-Cook
