SUFFOLK COUNTY APPLICATION FOR ISSUANCE OF SUBPOENAS Suffo.lk County hereby requests the Presiding Officer of this Licensing Board to issue subpoenas in the form attached hereto, to (1) Cheryl Melina, (2) Herbert Fish, (3) Ronald i Bernacki, (4) Linda Olmer, (5) Joyce Feldman, and (6) Paul Lutz, ordering both appearance for depositions and production of documents. Each of these individuals is a member of the Re-gional Assistance Committee ("RAC") that reviewed the LILCO Transition Plan for Shoreham under the direction and at the re-quest of FEMA, pursuant to the NRC's request that FEMA provide findings and determinations as to the adequacy and implement-l abliity of the Plan. Issuance of the subpoenas is authorized Dy lu CFR S 2.720.

I l

The discovery sought through the attached subpoenas is di-rectly relevant to this proceeding. On April 18, 1984 FEMA 8404230436 840420 PDR ADOCK 05000322 O PDR

l l

submitted the Direct Testimony of Thomas E. Baldwin, Josepn H.

Keller, Roger B. Kowieski, and Philip H. McIntire Concerning Phase II Emergency Planning. At page 2 of their testimony Messrs. Baldwin, Keller, Kowieski and McIntire state that "the RAC review [of Revision 3 of the LILCO Plan) is appended to this testimony and constitutes a part thereof." The " review" which is attached to the FEMA testimony is a document entitled "LILCO Transition Plan for Shoreham -- Revision 3, Consolidated RAC Review, Dated. February 10, 1984," (hereinafter, the "RAC Review"), which contains " review comments," " ratings" of "inad-equate" or " adequate" with respect to NUREG 0654 elements, and

" Concerns Pertaining to LERO's Legal Authority Identified Dur-ing RAC Review of LILCO Transition Plan for Shoreham -- Revi-sion 3." In addition, in their testimony these gentlemen refer to the " review comments," a RAC meeting and discussions that were'part of the process of producing the RAC Review, and they rely throughout their testimony upon the facts found by the RAC and stated in the RAC Review. See Testimony of Thomas E.

Baldwin, et al. at 2-7, and passim.

l Because the RAC Review will be offered into evidence and the facts set forth in that document are relied upon as the bases for the opinions and conclusions expressed in the FEMA testimony, cross examination of that testimony must necessarily 2-

~

explore the facts and concerns set forth in the RAC Review, the bases for those facts and concerns, and the process by which those facts and concerns were identified. Such cross examina-tion cannot be conducted effectively without prior discovery of the relevant documents and other information relating to the bases for the facts and concerns stated in the RAC Review.

The six members of the RAC to whom the requested subpoenas are directed are neither witnesses in, nor parties to, this proceeding. If the necessary information cannot be obtained through discovery directed to FEMA and the four FEMA witnesses, the only method available to the County for obtaining the information is by deposing and obtaining documents directly from the RAC members themselves. Because FEMA counsel has stated that he "has no control over" the RAC members for purposes of requiring their appearance at depositions, the re-quested subpoenas are necessary.

Based on the foregoing, Suffolk County requests that the Presiding Officer issue the attached subpoenas and thereby order the individuals named in those subpoenas to appear for depositions and produce documents, as set forth in the subpoe-nas.
