The factual background to the TMI - Related A .

Contentions issue is set forth in the Staff's motion an 3 .6 E' h( Q' b , /

need not be repeated here. 4 4-O Consumers Power desires to conduct the operating

. license hearing on such a schedule and in such a manner that the hearings do not become a pacing item for the start up of the plant, if ultimately authorized by the NRC. The inter-jection of TMI - Related Contentions after publication of the l Safety 2 valuation Report could unnecessarily lengthen the i

hearing schedule and therefore this potential issue should be resolved as quickly as possible.
