Docket No. 50-320; EA 84-137 di t/ N

Dear Mr. Feinberg:

Please find enclosed a copy of a subpoena issued by Judge Ivan Smith of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission in the above captioned NRC enforcement proceeding at the request of GPUN.

The original subpoena has been served on Ford Newman of the Depart-ment of Labor Solicitor's Office, who has indicated to us that he is representing both you and the Department, as the enclosed let-ter reflects.

The deposition is scheduled for June 18, 1987, starting at 9:30 a.m. and will be held at Geiger & Loria Re-porting Services, Inc., 1000 Market Street, Harrisburg, PA 17101.

This enforcement proceeding involves a civil penalty that was imposed by the NRC against GPUN on the basis of findings you issued following your investigation of a complaint filed by Richard D. Parks with the Wage and Hour Division on March 23, 1983.

GPUN is~ contesting those findings.

GPUN wishes to depose you on the issues raised by Mr. Parks in his complaint and on t

your investigation and findings.

A description of those issues, approved by Judge Smith, is attached to your subpoena.

I The applicable Department of Labor regulations (29 C.F.R.

SS 2.20-2.25) require that the office of the appropriate Regional Solicitor of Labor be provided a copy of a subpoena for the testimony of present or former DCL employees and a summary of the testimony sought.

GPUN has complied with this regulation by let-ter dated June 1, a copy of which is attached.

Discovery is authorized to begin imediately.

~

Supervisor on February 23, 1983 constituted retaliation against Parks contrary to 10 CFR 9 50.7.

3.

Whether Parks' interview by Messrs. Hofmann and Wheeler on March 14, 1983 constituted retaliation against Parks contrary to 10 CFR 9 50.7.

s-i

t..

4.

5.

Whether Parks' placement on leave of absence with pay on March 24,1983 constituted retaliation against Parks contrary to 10 CFR l 50.7.

6.

Based on resolution of the issues (1)-(5) above:

i a.

whether Licensee violated NRC requirements as set forth in the Notice of Violation and Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalty issued on August 12, 1985; and 1
