the neetino held by the parties on July 17, 1979, to discuss the contentions

. proposed by CFUP in this oroceeding. In connection with our discussion of

' . th es t' cententions, the Staff offered to consider, on an infomal basis, rtruests by CFT for NGC documents related to the specific issues raised by CFT in this proceeding. /. nrcli*inary review of your request of July 17, 1076, indicates that your recuest is beyond the scope of our offer. You 4' reouest not only dncunents, but infomation from a number of different .

sources, one of which (the President.'s Corrnission investigating the acct-dont at Three '!ile Island, Unit 2) is outside NRC. In addition, some of p? ~ this information does not appear to relate to the specific issues raised by-c 2.,

the contentions of CFUR. It will take us considerable time to fully evaluate

. your request. However, based on our preliminary review of your request.'we,g,, .

k. have detemined that we can furnish you with certain documents covered by

a Attachment L January 25, 1980 Mr. Richard Fouke Citiaens for Fair Utility Regulation (CFUR) 1668-B Carter Drive Of-O ' h;1  ;

Arlington, TX 76010 '4 'A In the Matter of Texas Utilities Generating Company, et al.

(Comammeha peak Steam Electric Station Units 1 and 2)

Dock &t Nos. 50-445 and 50-446

Dear Mr. Fouka:

Enclosed is the stipulation covering the contentions proposed by CFUR for admission as issues in controversy in this proceeding. The stipulation has been rigned by counsel for the Applicants and Staff and includes as an attach-ment 4 statement of CFUR's proposed contentions.

( The stipulation and attactament differ in some respects from the draft statement of contentions and draft stipulation forwarded to you in August and October 1979, respectively. The draft statement of con %entions and draft stipulation reflected the positions taken by the parties at the July meeting of the parties and in the parties' telephone conferences of August 31, 1979. As you recognise, these positions were not final. As a result of further negotiations between the parties subsequeet to the meeting of the partiet % July 1979 and telephone conference of August 31, 1979, there has been a chan, 3f position with respect to several contentions. In partie=1mr, we note that at ths.

partiesdeferredconsiderationofcontentions3.5.and3.3.yulymeeting,the Bowever, the parties have now agreed that deferr&1 is no looser necessary and have taken positions with respect to these sententions. Also acts a change in position regarding costantions 4.A. and 4.3. The stipnistion and attachment also now reflect the position of the parties with respect to the coatsetion proposed by CFUR fa its " Motion To Add Contention," dated October 31, 1979. This contention is designated as aumber 8. In addition, although the Applicants and Staff orally agreed to eone language changes in contention 3. A. which were suggested by CFUR in a telephone conversation, the Applicants and Staff have stipulated only to the language agreed to by the parties in our July meeting. Based so our records, these are the only shanges of substance in the stipulation and statement of contentions.

= p(

• f As the stipulation and statense! of contentions indicate, the conten-tions have been reoimbered. We are referring to the contentions as

.Keeunbered. ] l l l l b tA M goo 20 I O M

9 2 --

0 I would appreciate it if you would review the stipulation and attachment on an expedited basis. Please return the stipulation to me after signature, with the attachment, so both can be submitted to the Licensing Board for its consideration. An extra copy of each is soclosed for your retention. Thank you for your cooperation.

Dear Mrs. Ellis:

I l

Enclosed is the stipulation covering the contentions proposed by CASE for l admission as issues in controversy in this proceeding. The stipulation has been signed by counsel for the Applicants and Staff and includes as an attach-ment a statement of CASE's proposed contentions.

( The stipulation and attachment differ in some respects from the draft statement of contentions and draft stipulation forwarded to you in August and October 1979, respectively. The draft statement of contentions and draft stipuistion reflected the positions taken by the parties at the July meeting of the parties

(

l and in the parties' telephone confereness of Angust 31, 1979. As you recognite. l these positions were not-final. As a result of further negotiations between j the parties subsequent to the meeting of the parties in July 1979 and telephone conference of August 31, 1979, and consideration of the connants made la your letter of October 30, 1979, there has been a change of position with respect to I several contentions. In particular, we note that the draft stipulation indi- i ties had agreed to defer consideration of consolidated j ested that 12.

eentention thepBowever, the parties have now agreed that deferral is no j longer necessary and have taken a position with respect to this contention.

Also note changes in position regarding contentions 1., 4., and 5. The stipulation and attachment also now reflect the request of the Applicants and Staff that the Licensing Board defer ruling on the admissibility of contention 7.  !

Based on our records, these are the only changes of substance in the stipulation j and statement of contentions. 1 d

• f. As the stipulation and statement of contentions fadicate, the contentions

, l have been renumbered. We are referrina to the contentions as renumbered. j b$

Thank you for your cooperation. .

(Con:nche Tcak Steam E1cetric Station, Units 1 and 2)

Docket Nos. 50-445 and 50-446 Dccr it.kbers of the Board:

On Jcnuary 25, 1980, the NRC Staff filed a " Status Report on Proposed Stipula-tions and Request to Schedule Prehearing Conference." This report responded to the request of the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board (the Licensing Board) for cn cppraical of the status of negotiations among the parties to this pro-ceeding concerning the contentions of the respective Intervenors. The report reficcted the Staff's. belief, on that date, that the stipulations on contentions l which by the had been executed by the Applicants and the Staff would shortly be executed Intervenors.

Accordingly, the Staff 1) suggested that the Licensing Board schedule a prehearing conference on March 20, 1980, to hear oral argument .

on cententions and 2) proposed that the parties file statements of position on contentions on February 29, 1980.

Since the filing of the Staff's status report, the stipulations have not been executed by the Intervenors. The staff continues to be hopeful that it will  ;

be possible to reach a stipulation on contentions. However, since the parties have not yet reached such a stipulation, the Staff believes that it would be prcrature to file statements of position on contentions on February 29, 1980, espccielly since the -Licensing Board is not considering having a prehearing confercnce until April 30, 1980. The Staff therefore does not intend to file a state:,ent of position on contentions on February 29, 1980. In the event that the parties reach a stipulation on contentions, it is the Staff's inten- ,

tion that the stipulation provide that the parties will file statetents of position on contentions no later than twenty (20) days prior to the holding k

_2 of the prehearing conference. If it is not possible to reach a stipulation, the Staff will file a statement of pocition on the contentions originally propor,cd or as amended by the Intervenors no later than twenty (20) days pri,or to the prehearing conference.

Sincerely,
