to come before us this morning.
Before'I ask the Secretary to j
5
' lead us through the two items, do any of my fellow 6
Commissioners.have any-opening remarks to make.

8 CHAIRMAN ZECH:
If not, Mr. Secretary, please 9
proceed.
10 MR. CHILK:
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
11 The one item, SECY-87-289, dealing with'the Pacific 12 Gas & Electric Company was not on the' schedule for one week, 13 and so the Commission -- I ask the Commission to vote to hold 14 this matter en less.than one, week's notice.

20 MR. CHILK:
Thank you.
j 21 The item, then, is SECY-87-289.
It's a supplemental 22 order expediting appeal in a matter'of the-Pacific Gas &-
i 23 Electric Company.
In this paper,, the Commission is being asked
'I 24 to act on order which provides for an expedited' completion'of

'4 Chairman Zech, Commissioners Roberts,.Bernthal, Carr, 5
and Rogers have approved an order which directs the Appeal 6
Board to issue a decision on this matter on or before January I
- l 7
the 22nd, 1988 or by January-the 31st, 1988 upon prior showing 8
in writing of exceptional circumstances warranting the delay.
9 Would you please affirm your votes?
10 CHAIRMAN ZECH:
Aye.
11 COMMISSIONER CARR:
Aye.
12 COMMISSIONER BERNTHAL:
Aye.

Aye.
14 COMMISSIONER ROGERS:

15 MR. CHILK:
Thank you.
j 16 The second item is SECY-87-273 and 273A.
It's a 17 response to pending motions before the Commission in the 18 Seabrook proceeding.
The Commission is being asked to act on 19 an order responding to the Septemberf21, 1987 motion from the 20 Public Service of New Hampshire, who are the Applicants, to 21 lift the Commission's order or stay barring low-power 22 operations of Seabrook and the motion by the Interveners which
(
23 requested an evidentiary hearing on the Applicant's utility 24 plan.
25 Chairman Zech and Commissioners Roberts, Bernthal,
5 1
and carr have approved an order, which we attached -- a copy of
(
2 which was attached to the affirmation memorandum, granting the 3
Applicant's motion to vacate the stay and denying the 4
Interveners' motion for a hearing.
5 Finally, the commission dismisses as unripe all other 6
motions seeking to stay low power.
They may be refiled at a 7
later time, at the appropriate time.
8 commissioner Rogers has approved in part and i
9 disapproved in part.
He will have additional comments to be i
10 attached to the order.
He would have preferred that prior to 11 the lifting of the stay that the Commission have in hand the 12 additional information he believes relevant to complete the 1
13 summary review of the plan contemplated in the commission 1
L 14 Licensing Issuances 872 and 873.
15 The commission order notes that the lifting of the 1
16 stay does not itself authorize a low-power license for 17 Seabrook, because of other matters now pending before the l
18 Licensing Board or.the Appeal Board still need to be resolved 1
19 before low power.
And I would like to repeat that, if I could.
20 The commission order also notes that the lifting of l
21 the stay does not itself authorize a low-power license for 22 Seabrook, because other matters now pending before the 23 Licensing Board or the Appeal Board still need to be resolved 24 before low power.
25 The Commission's decision is dictated by the fact
6 l
1 that the Applicant has made;a good-faith submittal of a utility _
iD
'\\-
t 2'
It in no way results from the recently s_
l 3.
published revision'of the Commission's emergency planning j
4 regulations.
5 Would you please affirm your. votes.
6 CHAIRMAN ZECH:
Aye.
7 COMMISSIONER CARR:
Aye.
8 COMMISSIONER-BERNTHAL:
Aye.
9, COMMISSIONER ROBERTS:
Aye.
10 COMMISSIONER ROGERS:
Aye.
11 MR. CHILK:
Thank you.
12 CHAIRMAN ZECH:
Is~there anything else to come before 13 us this morning?
14 COMMISSIONER ROGERS:
Yes, Mr. Chairman.
15 CHAIRMAN ZECH':
Yes, please..
16 COMMISSIONER ROGERS:
I would simply like'to indicate 17 that, in my view, it is that the majority has indicated that it
- 3
'18 requires the submission of information deleted in the utility 1
19 plan to the Staff and PEMA and under protective' order to the 20 other parties prior to the issuance of any low-power license,
'21 and I am of the opinion that that information withheld from the
~
22 plan should be furnished to the Commission prior to the lifting 1
23 of the stay, so that-we can assure ourselves that the utility
{
24 plan does indeed satisfy the policy concerns set out in CLI-i 25 8703.-
q
7 1
CHAIRMAN ZECH:
All right.
Are there any other 2
comments?
3 COMMISSIONER BERNTHAL:
Let ma'just reiterate and
~
4 stress what Secretary Chilk has mentioned, that contrary to 5
what has been widely reported ir~ the media, earlier today at 6
least, this is not an authorization for low-power operation.at the SeabroNk plant.
Sorry to disappoint'all of you, but that 7
8 is not the substance of what we have done here this morning.
9 This is one step along what proves or promises to be a i
10 considerable series of steps before we reach that point..
i 11 That's all I have to say.
12 CHAIRMAN ZECH:
Are there any other comments?
13 (No response.]
i 14 CHAIRMAN ZECH:
We stand adjourned.
15
[Whereupon, at 11:55 o' clock, a.m., the Commission 16 was adjourned.]
