5 0 -.: 6 3, 50-464 RESPONSE OF THE STATE OF MARYLAND IN SUPPORT OF EXCEPTIONS FILED BY APPLICANT TO ASLB DECISION AND ORDER DATED FEBRUARY 27, 1981 The State of Maryland, which is participating in the above proceeding as an Interested State, hereby supports the exceptions filed by the Philadclphia Electric Company to the dismissal of the proceeding with prejudice by ASLB Decision and Order dated February 27, 1981.

Maryland has reviewed its files on 4his matter, and the material submitted by other parties, and finds no cause whatsoever for the Fulton site to be summarily eliminated from possible future consideration for a commercial nuclear generating station.

The State believes that such an extreme action should be based solely on the merits of the suitability of a site.

Rejection on a procedural ground'such as adopted in this case by the ASLB, could oply be supported on the strongest evidence of intentional andflaNrantdisregardbyanApplicant for the permitting pro-cedures of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

There is patently no evidence in the record of the current proceeding which remotely i

reaches this standard.

Thus, the Applicant should not now be prevented from attempting to show, at a later date, that the Fulton site represents a good location for a commercial plant-from an economic, safety and environmental standpoi.nt, and is therefore entitled to a license at that time.

In conclusion, Maryland recommends that the Philadelphia Electric Company's requested withdrawal of the Fulton construction permit application should be granted without prejudice.
