Bill Derrickson and John DeVincentis stopped by my office today to discuss organizational changes being made at PSNH and to talk about closing of any open items prior to the issuance of a low Power License. In addition,

.Mr. Derrickson informed me that the utility could possibly be filing with the ASLB a waiver to the regulation under 2.758 regarding the 10 mile EPZ for Seabrook. The utility stated that this waiver might possibly be filed by Friday, December 19, 1986, but that they were not sure.

The organizational changes that were discussed concerned Mr. Derrickson's decision to commit less of his personal time to PSNH and Mr. DeVincentis departure from PSNH to accept a promotion in the Yankee Organization. Mr.

DeVincentis will remain involved with PSNH unitl the ASLB makes a decision regarding the issuance of a low power license.

On the routine licensing issues, the project Manager will work with the utility and Region 1 in order to resolve any open items. I informed the utility that our current schedule is to issue a final SSER by mid-January 1987.
