ntroduction The t;ew Encland Coalition on Nuclear Pollution ("NECNP")

.ubmits the following interrogatories ano requests for the pro-

uction ot documents to the Executive Director ano the NFC Staf f.

The requests for production of oocuments are submitted to the NBC Staff and the Executive Director for Operations pursuant to 10 CFR 5 2.744.

The interrogatories are being filed with the Licensing Board pursuant to 10 C.F.R. S 2. 720( h) (2 ) (ii) . NECNP requests that the Licensing Board find that answers to these interrogatories are necessary to a proper decision in this proceeding and that ans-wers to the interrogatories are not reasonably obtainable from any other source. These interrogatories seek to discern the position that the Staf f will take in hearings on the adequacy of the New Hampshire Radiological Emergency Response Plan, and the 3703160051 B70305 DR A OCK O 4j3

. basis for their position. As the agency's representative in this-proceeding, the Staf f takes an extremely important role in the litigation of the safety issues that are before the Licensing Board.

In its answer to NECNP's first set of interrogatories on the New Hampshire plans, dated May 13, 1986, the NRC Staf f informed NECNP that it had not developed any positions that were different f rom those of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (" FEMA"),

which is the NBC's chief witness in the emergency planning pro-ceeding. NECNF has served interrogatories on Fevision 2 on FEMA through the hPC Staf f.1 Nevertheless, interrogatories against tne NPC Staff are necessary to determine wnether the NBC Staff's posttion on the issues under littgation differ f rom F EMA's , and to aiscover any information in the Staff's possession that is not also in FEMA'c possession.

INSTP.UCTICNS FGP USE The f ollow ing interrogatories are to be answered in writing and under oath by an employee, representative or agent of the NRC Staff with personal knowledge of the tacts or information requested in each interrogatory. We remind you of your obliga-tion to supplement answers to interrogatories, under 10 C .F.R. S 2.740(e).

1 Although it is not compelled to answer NECNP's interrogatories under the NBC's rules, FEMA has in the past agreed to answer interrogatories that were similar to the ones filed today.

Should FEMA refuse to answer these interrogatories, NECNP would seek an order f rom the Board requiring the NBC Staf f to answer them pursuant to 10 CFR S 2.70(h)(2)(ii) .
