2-Washington, about 26 miles west of Olympia. The application has been filed utilizing the Commission's standardization policy for nuclear power plants, wherein a standard design that involves a major fraction of a nuclear facility may be referenced in license applications.* This applica-tion references the standard nuclear steam supply system design of Combustion Engineering's Standard Safety Analysis Report (CESSAR), Docket No. STN 50-470, which is' currently under staff review.

The hearing,'which will be scheduled ~to begin in the vicinity of the site of the proposed facilities, will be conducted by an Atomic Safety and Licensing Board (Board), consisting of Dr. Emmeth A. Luebke, Dr. David R.

Schink, and Max D. Paglin, Esq., Chairman.

Pursuant to 10 CFR S 2.785, an Atomic Safety and Licensing Appeal Board will exercise the authority and the review function which would i

otherwise be exercised and performed by the Commission. Notice as to a

the membership of the Appeal Board will be published in the FEDERAL REGISTER at a later date.

Upon completion by the Commission's regulatory staff of a favorable I

safety evaluation of the application and an environmental review and upon receipt of a report by the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards, the Director of Regulation will consider making affirmative findings on Items 1-3, a negative finding on Item 4, and an affirmative finding on Item 5 specified below as a basis for the issuance of construction permits to the applicants:
