Dear Sir:
1 This response to the Commission's notice published in the Federal Register calling for comment regarding an+icompetitive effects of a con-struction license in the above-entitled docuets is filed on behalf of the City 4
of Cleveland.
j City of Cleveland has heretofore e:epressed to the CAPCO group companies the City's interest in participating in the above-referenced nuclear i
generating units. The City's interest was first expressed in its letter of August 3,1973, to the CAPCO members in which the City noted that one of l
the reasons it desired membership in CAPCO was to enable the City to participate in future CAPCO nuclear units. The City's interest in partici-pating in the presently proposed CAPCO units was later reiterated by counsel for the City during prehearing conferences held in the Perry and Davis-Besse proceedings presently being conducted by the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board. The City of Cleveland continues to have an interest in an appropriate share of the capacity and output of Davis-Besse Units 2
~
and 3 and Erie Units 1 and 2.
Not restated herein is information relevant to anticompetitive acts or practices by the applicants the City of Cleveland has previously brought i
to the attention of the Commission in Dockets 50-346A,- 50-440A and 50-441A. Suffice it to say that those acts and practices are continuing.

November 4, 1974 U. S. Atomic Energy Commission Page2 Indeed, recent emergency conditions in the City's system resulting from equipment breakdown have undersco red the impo rtance of membership in CAPCO with its provision for access to participation in nuclear units and transmis sion service, particularly transmission service over the Cleveland Electric Illuminating Company's (CEI) facilities. City has had to purchase emergency power from CEI fo r which CEI is charging over 3 cents per kilo-watt hour which clearlsf signifies that CEI is imposing upon the City the cost of its inefficient plants. The 3 cents per kilowatt hour imposes an intolerable financial burden upon the City and its consumers. The impact on the City's ability to compete for electric loads with CEI - in fact, to sustain its financial viability - in the face of such costs, is tco obvious to need elabora-tion. CEI could not impose this burden on the City and adversely affect its competitive position if the City had available to it transmission services ove r CEI facilities, and, if necessary, over the facilities of the other CAPCO members. For example, the availability of transmission services would have made available low cost power from the Power Authority of the State of New York (PASNY) and would have blunted CEI's efforts te attempt to squeer.c the City out of the electric business because PASNY power would have made it unnecessary to buy emergency power from CEI and would improve the City's abilitf to rehabilitate its electric system.
Very truly yours, CITY OF CLEVELAND, OHIO 0hibC d/
