Alan S. Rosenthal, Chairman Dr. John H. Buck Thomas S. Moore, Esquire Atomic Safety and Licensing Appeal Board U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, D.C. 20555 Re: Docket No. 50-367 Northern Indiana Public Service Company (Bailly Generating Station, Nuclear-1)

Gentlemen:

I refer to NIPSCO's Brief in Opposition to Appeals dated September 15, 1980. We have discovered this morning that the incorrect service list was used when the document was mailed last night. As a consequence, members of the Appeal Board were not served.

I am now enclosing copies of the Brief which differ from the version mailed last night in that a cover sheet, table of contents, and table of authorities has been attached.

Those additions are being separately served on all others listed.

Respectfully submitted, LOWENSTEIN, NEWMAN, REIS, AXELRAD

& TOLL Counsel for NIPSCO 5
