UNITED STATES OF AMERICA NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION FLORIDA POWER 6 LIGHT COMPANY (St.Lucie Plant, Units Nos.1 and 2)FLORIDA POWER 6 LIGHT COMPANY (Turkey Point Plant, Units Nos.and 4)))))))3))>>)Docket No.50-0-389A Docket No.50-250A 50-251A MOTION FOR RECALL OF ORDER IN LIGHT OF CHANGED CIRCUMSTANCES On July 27, 1978, the Commission issued an Order addressing a number of questions to Florida Power 6 Light Company (FPL)and to other parties related to the initiation of a proceeding under Section 105a of the Atomic Energy Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C.2135(a).The Order stated that it was being issued because of a recent decision of the Fifth Circuit, Gainesville Utilities De artment and Cit of Gainesville, Florida v.Florida Power 6 trial below compelled a finding that FPL had violated Section 1 of the Sherman Act.The Order propounded a number of questions concerning whether a Section 105a'proceeding should be initiated, its timing and procedures to be followed.Section 105a is triggered only if a licensee"is found by a court of competent jurisdiction

...to have violated..." any of the provisions of the antitrust laws which it specifies.

However, on August 14, 1978, and subsequent to the issuance of the Commission's Order, the Fifth Circuit stayed its mandate until September 13, 1978, in order to permit FPL to file a petition for a writ of certiorari in the Supreme Court.A copy of the stay is attached.FPL will fil'e such a petition, and, pursuant to FRAP, Rule 41(b), the stay will then"con-tinue until final disposition by the Supreme Court." It is of course hornbook law that"A court acts only through its mandate.Bailey v.Henslee, 309 F.26 840, 8K~8th C~z.r.1 2).[1hen a mandate is stayed, a decision has no binding effect, save as the stay might be conditioned Public Service Com an of New Ham shire (Seabrook Station, Units 1 and 2), CLI-76-17, 4 NRC 451, 466 (1976).Accordingly, there is not now in effect a finding by a court of competent jurisdiction of a violation of the anti-trust laws by FPL, and there is no basis for any action under Section 105a at this time.For the foregoing reasons FPL moves that the Commission's Order of July 27, 1978, be recalled without prejudice to such further action as the Commission may take pending"final disposition by the Supreme Court."
