RESPONSE

BY FLORIDA CITIES 8

TO NRC STAFF ANSWER

<o~'

4A~~

On April 7, 1981, Florida Cities filed a "P t son to Intervene and Request for Consolidation";

responsive to e

I Commission's Federal Receister Notice with regard to the St. Lucie Unit Ogerating License, issued Narch 9, 1981 (46 Fed.

~Re 15831-2).

This Petition sought an antitrust review in connection with the operating license.

However, Florida Cities recognized (p.

2) that the issues overlap those in the construction permit antitrust proceedings in Docket No. 50-389A.

They therefore requested consolidation.

Florida Cities believe that it is in the interest of all parties to avoid two antitrust proceedings before separate licensing boards relating to the same license.

Staff has raised two points: First, Staff states, "This Board has no jurisdiction to consider a petition that raises only antitrust issues."

Second, it suggests, "It is possible that

-footnote 1 on page 3 of the petition.

. may represent an attempt to raise an issue cognizable by a Licensing Board con-vened to consider environmental,

health, and safety issues."

As a matter of clarification, Florida Cities seek per-mission to file this pleading.

While they believe that the

@Sod issues raised in page 3, note 1, are directly relevant to the need for antitrust relief, they do not seek intervenor status

///

V 1

concerning "environmental, health, and safety issues".

In Florida Cities'udgment, the factors raised in footnote 1 are relevant in an antitrust context.

By their petition Florida Cities sought intervention in proceedings relating to FPL's operating license

~onl insofar as they may relate to antitrust concerns.

Thus, should their request for consolidation be granted or antitrust proceedings with regard to the operating license be separated from this docket, Florida Cities would not seek participation here.

As they read the antitrust provisions of the Atomic Energy Act, Florida Cities believe that the time to seek interven-tion with regard to FPL's operating license is now.

Further, they perceive benefit to no party from delay.
See, Houston Li htin

& Power Com an (South Texas Project, Unit Nos.

1 and 2), CLI-77-13, 5

NRC 1303 (1977).

However, should there be a

question with regard to the Board's authority or the Commission's intentions in this, regard, Florida Cities would have no objection to certification of the matter to the Commission or reference to the Secretary of the Commission so that their Petition to Intervene can be ruled upon in the appropriate manner.

Respectfully submitted, Robert A. Jablon Alan J.
