(Seabrook Station, Units 1 and 2) ) January 9, 1987 MEMORANDUM AND ORDER (Modifying Board Order of December 4,1986)

Various parties have submitted requests for the Board to modify its hearing schedule of December 4, 1986 on offsite issues raised by the NHRERP. Events have overtaken many of the stated bases for modifica-tions set out by the parties whose petitions or motions will not be reviewed herein. The Board believes that in the best interests of all parties and the Board, we should clear the deck for a period of several weeks to permit the parties an unencumbered period to respond to Applicants' petition under 10 CFR 2.758 and 10 CFR 50.47(c) to reduce the plume exposure pathway emergency planning zone to one mile. The resulting hearing schedule revision will allow the Board time to consider pending contentions and responses and further advance the date for discovery to commence. As we noted in our January 7,1987 Memorandum and Order, the parties are directed to respond to the issue of whether a prima facie showing for a waiver has been made by the Applicants' petition.

2 In revising the hearing schedule, we have used the same time frames between the various events leading to commencement of hearings as were set forth in our December 4, 1986 order. We begin with the next event in the sequence leading to the hearings which is the Board's ruling on contentions and the commencement of discovery. We encourage the parties to respond to requests for information prior to commencement of discovery on February 13, 1987 whenever possible. The new dates are as follows:

Datq Deadlines February 13, 1987 Board Order ruling on contentions, discovery commences.

March 6, 1987 Discovery closed (last discovery request due).

March 19, 1987 Answers to last interrogatories due within 14 days after the close of discovery.

March 26, 1987 Deadline for motions for summary disposition on late-filed Rev. 2 Contentions admitted

~

or for other contentions as to which circumstances have changed such that summary disposition is now appropriate.

l April 16, 1987 Response opposing or supporting motions due within 20 days.

April 27, 1987 Opposing parties may file responses to new facts and arguments presented in statements supporting motions for summary disposition.

The Board again directs that service of papers relating to offsite emergency planning contentions be effected by express mail or personal delivery in any instance where normal service would not result in actual receipt of those papers on or before a deadline for the filing of those papers. As has been this Board's custom, the date for filing of any pleading means that the pleading be delivered in hand to the parties and this Board on that date.

IT IS S0 ORDERED.
