qgg MEMORANDUM AND ORDER ON PENDING MOTIONS This Order relates to several of the motions pending before the Board.
As soon as the response period has expired on other motions, additional Order (s) will be issued.
- 1. The motion of Intervenor Susquehanna' Environmental Advocates (SEA) dated August 22, 1981 for the admission of a new contention is denied.
Although the proposed contention is similar to a previous submittal not approved becaues of it's lack of specificity, and that deficiency has been eliminated to some extent here, the motion is submitted in an unt;mely manner.
The basic.information which the prcposed contention challenges was included in Supplement No. 2 to the Draft Environmental Statement and made available to the parties on March 31, 1981. The~new information cited by SEA in the Final Environmental Statement and published in June 1981, does not relate to the proposed contention nor is there any submittal ~ that attempts to connect the new information to it. The Board has attempted to balance the factors in 10 CFR 2.714(a) for a late filed motion but in light D50 }

of the commencement of the hearing in this proceeding less than two weeks i
away, it is clear that the proposed contention would only broaden and delay the proceedings.
Furtner, an adequate cause for not filing on time has not been submitted. The Board will however reserve judgment on SEA's request that the Board raise the issues in the contention on it's own motion during the forthcoming hearing.
- 2. In response to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Memorandum of Law of August 10, 1981, all parties are herein advised that rebuttal testimony 4
is a matter of right under 10 CFR 2.743(a) and there is no requirement for such testimony to be submitted in advance of the hearing.
- 3. Motions filed by Intervenor Citizens Against Nuclear Dangers (CAND) on August 27 and September 12, 1981 are denied. No justification has been demonstrated for the necessity of another prehearing conference or the consolidation of Contentions 4 and 14 or the deferral of consideration of Contentions 6 and 20.
In connection with the motion of CAND requestirig additional opportunities for limited appearances, the Board will adjust its schedule to accomodate such requests as the need develops.
