% . _ SERVED JUN 161987 )

00CCi% s " .M a ASLB has ordered us to respond to ArguishtOI n in the licensee's answer k inoppositiontoourinterventionandpetitionforahearingdated5/22/87 ]

.1 We assert that the licensee's position is mistaken both in relation to y g the correctness of our petition to intervene and as to the intent of citizen a participation specified in NEPA and AEA. It appears that PECo is trying to h prevent our contribution to protecting ouselves and family and members of the community fron-radiation poisoning which could result from the raising of i allowed Iodine release levels.

I Contrary to PECo's opinion our petition to intervene and reguest for a hear- [y ing is entirely valid. Our petition was filed with the Secretary of NRC shortly ofter we were provided with a copy of PEco's application for a license amend- 1 cent. We applied on 8/25/87 as stated by the Board, and we notified PEco oith a copy. PEco cannot claim surprise over our intervention when our petMen tas forwarded by the Secretary to the Board on 5/20/87 We assert that this I constituted proper procedure and we are gratified that the Secretary followed through with his notification to us of last fall that our petition would be s held and then forwarded after the staff had completed review of the amendment tad published a Federal Register notice.(Below,Julians vol. 52 # 48,3/12/87,p.7675) c To completo our record of our application we add that we were informed by telephone,5/20/87 by the Secretary's office,Mr. E.Julian , that our petition Cos about to go through and we were asked, appropriately,whether we still wished to pursue this petition. We said that we did. There never has been any hint '

g from the Secretary of the NRC that our petition is not valid.

I We believe that the Board will agree that the Secretay acted properly,in j k eping with the regulations and the provisions of NEPA and AEA in holding h cur petition until the amendment was ripe for consideration. It would,indeed, Q i

put a citizen, volunteer intervenor at a gross disadvantage if he were required g to follow each issue of the Federal Register for the progress of an amendment is a similar manner to that of the professional staffs of NRC and the licensee. f f

u We ask the Board to find that our petition is valid and ready to be pursued. f co:NRC Secretary, Docketing, Staff Counsel Re Ll PEco., F. Romano so:tfu ly submitted.
