Re: In the Matter of Otzmonwealth Fdison Co.

Byron Station (Units No.1 and No. 2)

Dear Mr. Secretary:

On January 14 we wrote to you on behalf of the Rockford Iaague of Wcnen Voters concerning an extension of time to file conments on a draft Environmental Impact Statment. At that time we were unaware as to the status of the Board's ruling on our Petition for Reconsideration. 'Ihat Petition for Poconsideration has been denied and the matter is now on appeal before the Appeal Board.

Accordingly, we renew our rcquest for a period of 90

- days after a decision by the Appeal Board to file conments on the Byron draft Envirormental Impact Statsmt.

A copy of our January 14, 1982 letter is enclosed for your information.

_ , Respectfully,

' ll l ll f,V'

Byron Station (Units No. 1 and No. 2) s

Dear Mr. Secretary:

' It is our understanding that the time for filing coments in connection with the Byron Draft Environmental Impact Statment (Docket Nos. 50-454 and 50-455) is due January 18, 1982.

As you may know, the Rockford Icague of thien Voters has intervened in the Byron docket and in the context of that docket J contanplated raking, in the ordinary course of that litigation, cmments to the enviramental subnissions by the Staff. Under such circumstances and based on prior practice it would have been redundant separately for the League to have filed coments with your office.

However, the Icague has been subjected to a Licensing Board decision which terminated its rights as an intervenor, which decision is presently subject to a Petition for Reconsideration by the Licensing Board. If the Licensing Board grants the Petition for Reconsideration then the Icague's rights with respect to the Environmental Impact StatoTent will be protected in the hearing process. However, if the Licensing Board does'not do so (or if the Appeal Board on appeal does not reverse the Licensing Board), the League may wish to make cmments to you concerning the Environmental Impact StataTent.

Accordingly, in order to avoid duplicative work, we ask that you extend the time for filing omments to the Draft Environmental Impact Statment until a reasonable period after the Licensing Board grants the Petition for Reconsideration (we suggest 90 days), or in the event that the Licensing Board fails to grant the Petition for Reconsideration until a reasonable period of thne after the Appeal Board has heard that ratter.

We appreciate your consideration ard we will keep you advised.

I (Respectfully, D i ~-) -
