' gang nip 197030 1840 organizations have submitted a show cause petition under the 1841 regulations at 10 CPR 2.206 requesting that NRC suspend 1842 Filgrim's operating license.
The first quastion is what 1843' standard must be met by petitioners who are requesting a 1844 hearing, Mr. Chairman?
1845 Mr. ZECH. Can I ask my Office of General Counsel, Mr.
1846 parler, to respond to that question?
1847 Mr. MARKEY. If the gentleman would identify himself for
. 1848 the record.
1849 Mr. PARLER. My name is William Parler.
I as the general 1850 counsel of the agency.
1851 Mr. MARKEY. Excuse me.
You don't know what that standard 4
1852 is, Mr. Chairman?
1853 Mr. ZECH. I know there is a standard, but I think it would and I 1854 be appropriate to give you specifics, Mr. Chairman, 1855 would much prefer to have the office of General Counsel give 1856 you those specifics, with your permission.
1857 Mr. MARKEY. I recognize the counsel for that purpose.
1858 Mr. PARLER. Iha general standard for hearings is an 1859 Section 189 of the' Atomic Energy Act.
Any person who 1860 demonstrates that the person's interest may be affected by a 1861 proceeding oc by a situation, that is the touchstone for 1862 hearings.
1863 Mr. MARKEY. Now, do you believe that the standard you have 1864 dust enunciated is being met in this particular case?
o S
b dW
PAGE 78 NAME: MIT197030 In what context, sir?
1865 Mr. PARLER.
The show cause petition.
1866 Mr. MARKEY.
g I only heard about the show cause Petition 1867 Mr. PARLER.
It is my impression that it was $ust 1868 this morning.
1869 received.
Chairman, I just saw it 1870 Mr. ZECH. If I may interrupt, Mr.
I don't think genera 1 counsel has had a 1871 last night myself.
I have only seen,it briefly.'I can 1872 chance to review it.
1873 assure you, though, that we,are going to look at all the to us very carefu'lly, and the staff has just 1874 items Presented We will review received the report Probably this morning.
1875 and certainly any of those that have l
those items carefully, 1876 lications, we will review with the greatest of 1877 safety imp the Plant until at least care and don't intend to start uP 1878 those safety items that we determine are resolved.
1879 It seems to me that in this Particular case 1880 Mr. MARXEY.
the Petitioners are quoting from NRC-generated documents, 1881 1882 and that on that basis alone, they seem to have some material relevance to the question.
1883 All I can say' I as sure the do, My. Chairman.
1884 Mr. EECH.
is that we simply need tiae to review them carefully. We 1885 1886 intend to do that.
Mr. MARXEY. Can I ask historically how many show cause 1887 in fact, been recognized by Petitions over t'ha yours have, 1888 1889 the Commission?

Mr. ZICH. Mr. Parler, can yot respond to that, pleaset jggo Mr. PARLER. I don't have the numbers.
There have been 1891 f
a few Section 2.206 Petitions that have been filed.
1892 quite I think that q
Out of the number that have been filed, 1893 relatively few have resulted in hearings.
1 1894 1895 Mr. MARKEY. What I am saying is out of hundredt that may
{
have been filed over the history of the Commission, are we 1896 talking about one hearing that night havs been granted, or 1897 1898 five, or fifty?
What is the range we era talking about?
899 Mr. PARLER. With your permiss' ion, Mr. Chairmon, I would like to get that information and supply it for the record.
1900 1901 I just don't have 1 Jn nv head.
-?

3 1902 Mr. MARKEY. Com sioner Asselstine, do you have any 1903 information?
Mr. Chairman, I think it is a very small 1904 Mr. ASSELSTIME.
that I can ramenbar is the Indian Point 1905 number.
Ihe one I think that proceeding was begun as a 1906 special proceeding.
A second one result of petitions filed with the Commission.
1907 I think, is the that is somewhat analogous, at least, 1908 1.
That was a unc4*1 1909
~ question of restart of TMI Unit proceeding that the Commission on its own initiative began.
1910 At least Indian Ihose are the two that I can think of.
1911 Point is the only one I can recall that resulted from 1912 191 3 petitions being filed with the Connission.
191 4 Mr. MARKEY. So it's a handful, at best.
