August i1,1997 Charles J.11aughney, Acting Director Spent Fuel Project Office Office of Nuclear Material Safety & Safeguards NRC Washington, DC 20555-00011

Dear Mr. Haughney:

In your August 6,1997 letter, the NRC rejected the State's 2.206 petitions ostensibly because the State's request "does not seek enforcement action and thus does not meet the cri;eria for consideration under 10 CFR 2.206." Regardless of how the State styled its request, the NRC has an obligation to the publi: not to reject requests out of hand simply because NRC construes the requests were not appropriately labeled. See Lorion v. NucJear RegtCatory Commission and Florida Power

& Light 712 F.2d 1472,1474, (D.C. Dir.1933), Flonda Po.>er & Light v. I orion,470 U.S. 729 (1985) (rev'd on other grounds).

In order to fully evaluate and preserve other administrative or judicial relief, the State wants a confirmation from the NRC that the NRC has or has not made a decision on whether the application has complied with 10 CFR R 72.32 (a)(14), comments on emergency plan. That requirement must be met before submittal of the application.

I look forward to your promp response.

Best regards, 140Q t Dianne R. Nielson, Ph D.
