II. HISTORY OF THE CONSOLIDATED PROCEEDING 1.

The South Texas Proceeding In May 1974, Houston Lighting and Power Company ("HLP"), Central Power and Light Company (" CPL"), Community Public Service Board of San Antonio (" San Antonio"), and the City of Austin Electric Utility Department (" Austin") filed an application for construction permits to build the Scuth Texas Project Units 1 and 2.

No proceeding was initiated on the antitrust aspects of the South Texas Project licensing as the Attorney General's advice regarding the need for a hearing was in the negative and no petitions to intervene were filed.

On June 4,1976, after the initial decision authorizing the issuance of the construction permits had become final, CPL filed a " Petition for Leave to Intervene and Request for Hearing Out of Time." The basis for the request was that HLP had disconnected from CPL on May 4, 1976, and that this event and the circumstances surrounding it were supervening developments which constituted " good cause" for the lateness of the petition. The Licensing Board to which the petition was referred was perspac'ed by this argurent and granted the late petition.2_/ The Appeal Board reversed I and the Commission chose not to review ALAB-381, thus br!ngir.g to a close consideration of CPL's request to reopen the CP

On February 10, 1977, HLP filed a " Petition for a Declaratory Order or, Alternatively, for Waiver of Regulation." The purpose of this petition was to request the Comission to initiate the operating license antitrust review priur to the filing of the Final Safety Analysis Report

("FSAR") and to determine that a significant change within the meaning of Section 105c of the Act had occurred. The Commission in reviewing the petition and responsive pleadings considered the allegations that formed the basis of CPL's earlier request for reopening the CP proceeding. The Commission found that a "significant change" in the licensee's activities had occurred subsequent to the construction permit antitrust review. The bC

- Comission also determined that early review was desirable and that the prior filing of the FSAR as a precondition to the seeking of the Attorney General's advice pursuant to Section 105c(2) of the Act could, and should in this instance, be u ived.S The Attorney General's advice was sought pursuant to Section 105(c).

His advice was that an operating licents antitrust hearing should be hel d.5_/

ultimately the petitions of Texas Utilities Generating Company ("TUGC0"),

South Texas Electric Cooperative, Inc./Medina Electric Cooperative, Inc.

("STEC/MEC"), and the Public Utilities Board of Brownsville

("Brownsville") were granted by the Licensing Board.7/

2.

The Comanche Peak Proceeding In July 1973, Texas Utilities Generating Comparny ("TUGC0") filed on behalf of Texas Utilities' operating subsidiaries an application to construct the Comanche Peak Steam Electric Stations, Units 1 and 2.

The construction permit antitrust review was conducted in accordance with Section 105c of the Act and resulted in the Attorney General's advising that no hearing would be necessary, as TUGC0 had agreed to the imposition of certain conditions on its license which would substantially alleviate the Department's concerns regarding possible anticompetitive behavior in connection with activities under the license. As the Attorney General recommended no hearing and there were n'o petitions to intervene on antitrust matters, there was no construction permit antitrust hearing.

The construction permits issued in 1974 with the conditions recommended by the Attorney General attached.

Upon the application for operating licenses for Comanche Peak, the Commission determined that the same factual circumstances as in South Teaxas also appeared to constitute a "significant change" with respect to

l

Comanche Peak such that the Attorney General's advice should be obtained in accordance with the Act. The Commission expressed no view on the Staff's and Comanche Peak applicants' suggestion that consolidation of the South Texas and Comanche Peak proceedings might be appropriate, but left that decision to the Licensing Board, with directions to take into account whether consolidation would materially delay the South Texas proceeding.0/

The Attorney General's advice was sought pursuant to Section 105(c);

his recommendation was that an antitrust operating license hearing should be held in connection with the Comanche Peak application.9/

In response to a Federal Register noticc10/ giving interested persons the opportunity to intervene, a number of petitions were filed and ultimately the Licensing Board admitted the State of Texas as an " interested state" pursuant to 10 CFR 2.715, and granted the petitions to intervene of Central and Southwest Corporation ("CSW"), the holding company of which Central Power & Light Company (" CPL") is a subsidiary, and of Tex-La Electric.CooperativeofTexas,Inc.(" Tex-La").E/

3.

The Consolidated Proceeding Initially, the Licensing Board consolidated the two proceedings for discovery purposes and left open the question of consolidation in the eventofahearing.E/ Subsequently, on April 10, 1980, the Board issued an order in which it consolidated the two proceedings for hearing.EI On September 14, 1980, the NRC Staff advised the Licensing Board that the Department of Justice and the Staff had reached a settlement with the Applicants in the consolidated proceeding which was embodied in a proposed set of license conditions for each license submitted to the Board.El All of the parties to the Comanche Peak proceeding and, with the exception of Brownsville, all of the parties to the South Texas proceeding supported the license conditions.

Brownsville also filed a " Motion...for Disapproval of Proposed License Conditions" (September 25,1980) and TUGC0 a responsive

" Motion...to Strike References to Comanche Peak in Brownsville's

't September 25, 1980 Motion" (October 6,1980). The Licensing Board denied Brownsville's Motion on the. ground that it had called for " comments" on

theproposedlicenseconditions,notforanymotions.El As to TUGC0's motion to strike, the Board orally stated at a prehearing conference that

...you can assume that we are going to probably grant it...,"El but has never entered an order to that effect.

Although denying Brownsville's motion for disapproval, the Board did not reject Brownsville's comments included in its motion. To bring the issues into focus, the Board did, however, direct Brownsville to file its objections to the proposed license conditions. The Board further concluded that if it were determined that an evidentiary hearing was required, based upon a consideration of objections to the proposed license conditions, it would then be necessary to frame appropriate issues for hearing.E/

Pursuant to the Board's direction, Brownsville filed its

" Comments.. 0pposing Proposed Settlement License Conditions" (November 12, 1980) and the proponents of the settlement filed responsive comments.'The "NRC Staff Comments On and Motion for Approval of Settlement License Conditions" (December 3,1980, hereinafter, "NRC Staff's Comments and Motion") contained a section which explained at some length the benefits provided by the settlement conditions.

Subsequently, Brownsville announced that it had reached a settlement with CSW. Consequently, its. objections to the proposed settlement i

license conditions have been modified; those modifications were furnished to the Board as a part of the " Supplemental Brownsville Status Report of March 1981."EI 4.

FERC Proceeding In a closely related proceeding before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC") upon CSW's application for an order directing interconnection between the Southwest Power Pool and the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, FERC has now entered an " Order Requiring InterconnectionandWheelingandApprovingSettlement".E/

The NRC Staff informed the Board of the FERC's action by letter of November 17, 1981, forwarding the FERC's Order.

III.

IDENTIFICATION OF ISSUES TO BE RESOLVED AND RECOMMENDED RESOLUTION i

The Administrative Law Judge has asked the parties to identify the issues to be resolved.

At this point in the proceeding Staff believes f

there are three interrelated issues requiring resolution: (1)whetherthe l

proposed settlement license conditions should be approved, (2) what procedures should be established to determine whether a hearing need be held on Brownsville's assertions that issuance of the South Texas operating licenses subject to the settlement conditions will create or maintain a situation inconsistent with the antitrust laws or the policies H/ Filed March 18,.1981.

H/ Docket No. EL. 79-8, Order dated October 28, 1981.

thereunder, and (3) whether the Comanche Peak proceeding should be terminated.

This is not the first case in which the Cocinission or an Atomic Safety and Licensing Board (now an Administrative Law Judge in this proceeding) has been called upon to approve license conditions proposed in settlement of ar. NRC antitrust proceeding. Approval of settlement conditions has been requested in some cases by all parties to a proceeding,2_0/ while in other cases the settlement was contested.SI The basic test applied in cases involving contested settlements has been (1) whether the conditions are in the public interest and (2) whether immediate attachment of the conditions would prejudice any party, pending a hearing which the non-settling party could invoke on whether issuance of the license (s) subject to the conditions would create or maintain a situation inconsistent with the antitrust laws or the policies thereunder.2_2/ Under NRC practice, however, where the parties to a discretionary proceeding have settled their differences and any intervenors have agreed to withdraw, the proceeding should be dismissed

without the need for any inquiry into the settlement.EI An antitrust proceeding under % 105(c) of the Act is such a discretionary proceeding (it is held only if the Attorney General so recommends or an interested party requests a hearing and files an adequate petition to intervene) and should be dismissed upon this basis when there is a settlement of all parties.EI Some antitrust licensing boards have, however, gone further and have made a determination that the settlement conditions were fair and reasonable.EI Comanche Peak falls into the category of uncontested settlements, all of the parties to that proceeding having withdrawn or entered into the settlement.26/ Thus, the Comanche Peak proceeding should be terminated at this time and the Administrative Law Judge should direct the attachment of the settlement conditions to the Comanche Peak construction permits and to any operating licenses for these units that

Brownsville is not a party to the Comanche Peak proceeding, having never petitioned to intervene therein.

maybeissued.EI To the extent the Administrative Law Judge believes he must make a determination of the fairness and reasonableness of the settlement conditions, Staff believes that the analysis of the license conditions presented in "NRC Staff's Comments and Motion" (at 8-38) provides ample support for such a determination. The Board's consolida-tion of the Comanche Peak proceedingb with the South Texas proceeding should also be vacated as no longer being " conducive to the proper dispatchof[theCommission's]businessandtotheendsofjustice."El In determining in a contested proceeding whether to approve proposed license conditions, it is appropriate for a licensing board or Administrative Law Judge to inquire into whether implementation of those s

conditions will, on their face, create or maintain a situation inconsistentwiththeantitrustlawsorpolicies.E/ This is to be carefully distinguished, however, from the finding under Section

-27/ Although these proceedings are in connection with the issuance of operating licenses, until such time as the operating licenses issue the settlenent conditions should be attached to the existing construction permits for the South Texas and Comanche Peak units in order to give present effect to the benefits and obligations which result from the license conditions.

Indeed, although the conditions have not yet been acted upon by the Administrative Law Judge, TUGC0 HLP and CPL did comply with Comanche Peak proposed condition 3.D(2)(0) and South Texas proposed condition I.B(10) by using their best efforts to secure (successfully) approval of the settlement in FERC Docket No. EL 79-8.

3 105(c)(5) of the Atomic Energy Act ]/ "as to whether the activities under the license would create or maintain a situation inconsistent with the antitrust laws as specified in subsection 105a," a finding which cannot be reached without an evidentiary hearing.

In the South Texas proceeding, the settlement appears still to be contested based upon Brcwnsville's most recent filing with the Board, but the precise issues upon which Brownsville now wishes to have a hearing have.become even less clear than they were previously.

In its

" Supplemental Status Report" Brownsville advised the Licensing Board (at 2-3) that it had reached a comprehensive settlement with CSW and its subsidiaries that provided, in part that Brownsville... will not, in these proceedings, seek any relief against CSW or any CSW company other than as provided in the proposed settlement license conditions, and that, in addition, Brownsville's opposition to the proposed settlement license conditions shall be restricted to contesting a) matters relate,d to proposed wheeling rates, terms and conditions, and b) matters related to the proposed asserted rights of any utility not to remain interconnected with, or to disconnect from, other utilities.

Although Brownsville attached to its " Supplemental Status Report" an Exhibit A, which purports to advise the Board and parties of those objections set forth in its " Comments" on the proposed license conditions which it continues to assert, the deletion of substantial portions of the

" Comments" leaves the remaining objections in a confused state.

Additionally, the Staff believes that Brownville's settlement with CSW, 31/ 42 USC l 2135(c)(5).

i

the parent of the sole Applicant with which Brownsville is interconnected and the present supplier of virtually all of its purchased bulk power, places a renewed burden on Brownsville to explain in what precise way it would be prejudiced by approval and attachment of the settlement conditions to the South Texas construction permits.

The Staff's analysis of the settlement conditions _2/

3 demonstrates how those conditions constitute a fair and reasonable settlement within the public interest. The Staff shows there how the conditions promote competition in the relevant areas and encourage coordination and transactions arong utilities. The Staff believes its analysis also demonstrates that Brownsville had failed to establish, even before its settlement with the CSW companies, how it would be prejudiced by approval and attachment of the license conditions. On the basis of that analysis and unless Brownsville is able to demonstrate prejudice from the license conditions in view of its settlement, the Staff believes that the Administrative Law Judge should find that the settlement conditions are in the public interest and not prejudicial to any party and shculd, therefore, approve them and direct their attachment to the South Texas construction permits and to any operating licenses that may be issued.

As a non-settling Intervenor in the South Texas proceeding, Bro;tnsville is entitled to a hearing on its remaining objections to the proposed license conditions provided it sets forth with specificity:

(a) a situation inconsistent with the antitrust laws or the policies 3_2/ "NRC Staff's Coninents and Motion," at 8-38.

2

underlying those laws and (b) a " meaningful nexus between the activities

~

under the nuclear license and the situations alleged to be inconsistent with the antitrust laws."33/ Now that Brownsville has settled with CSW, its allegations of anticompetitive behavior appear to be limited to HLP, but what precise objections remain is unclear. Additionally, it has been over a year since Brownsville's last status report and in the interim FERC has approved h e settlement in the DC interconnection proceeding (to which Brown 0:ille was party, but did not object to the offer of settlement). Under these circumstances, the Staff proposes that Brownsville be required to state at the conference of counsel its present posture in the South Texas proceeding and, as necessary, to file a pleading identifying with specificity any continuing objections to the attachment of the settlement conditions to the South Texas construction permits and the issuance of the South Texas operating licenses with those conditions. Any such oral statement and filing should address the factors specified by the Commission in Waterford, supra.

IV.

CONCLUSION For the reasons set forth in these Staff comments, the Administrative Law Judge should enter an order:

1.

vacating the consolidation of the Comanche Peak and South Texas proceedings, approving the settlement license conditions in the Comanche 33/ Louisiana Power and Light Co. (Waterford Steam Electric Generating

~

Station, Unit 3), CLI-73-7, 6 AEC 48, 49 (1973) and CLI-73-25, 6 AEC 619, 620-21 (1972).

5.

Peak proceeding and directing the Director of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation to attach those conditions to the Comanche Peak construction permits and to any operating licenses that may be issued for those units; and 2.

approving the settlement license conditions in the South Texas proceeding and directing the Director of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation to attach those conditions to the South Texas construction permits and to any operating licenses that may be issued for those units; Additionally, following the conference of counsel and based upon Brownsville's statement of its posture in the South Texas proceeding, the Administrative Law Judge should either terminate the South Texas proceeding or direct Brownsville to file a pleading identifying with specificity any continuing objections it may have to the attachment of the settlement conditions to the South Texas construction permits and the issuance of the South Texas operating licenses subject to those conditions.
