FChruM . 3< 19E7 c u The Honorable Edward J. Markey Committee on Energy and Commerce United States House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515

Dear Congressman Markey:

I am responding to your letter dated January 14. 1987, concerning notification to parties when meetings are conducted

.by the NRC staff as part of its review of a license application. NRC policy in this matter is covered in a Commission onlicy statement published in the Federal Register l on June 28, 1978. A copy of this policy statement is enclosed.

' I regret that a representative o# the State of Massachusetts

' Attorney General's Office was unable to attend the January la, 1987 meeting. Because of the concerns of the participants in j

the Seabrook hearing, the Staff is initiating a practice whereby the active parties in the Seabrook proceeding will be notified of scheduled meetings by telephone (in addition to written notification) as soon as possible after a meeting is scheduled. We will give parties two weeks notice of meetings However, unusual circumstances might require as you suggest.

that a meeting be scheduled'with less than two weeks notice.

In those cases, we will provide as much advance notice as possible.

The Staff will also transcribe all future meetings related to Applicants' December 18, 1986 petition for a waiver of the

' 10-mile emergency planning zone. The transcripts of those meetings will be available to all parties to the Seabrook proceeding. I believe that these measures will address the concerns of the parties involved in the Seabrook proceedings.

Sincerely,

~
