v.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

ORDER OF THE BOARD

 (BY SAMUEL

T.

 LAWTON,

 JR.):

We entered an Opinion and Order which, among other things,

granted

 a variance with respect to Units

1,

2,

 3 and 4 of Common-

wealth Edison’s Powerton Station in Pekin, Illinois.

 Paragraph

9

of

 the Order provided as

 follows

 (Order of October

14,

 1971):

“The Company shall file quarterly reports, commencing

December 31,

 1971, with the Agency,

 detailing its progress

toward completion of its program.

 Such reports shall also

detail Edison’s projected annual peak load,

 its daily

projected peak load,

 and the Powerton Station generation

for each day

 in each month compared

 to the power generation

for the same day in the same month in the previous two

years, prepared much in the manner as Commonwealth Edison

Exhibit

No.

53

.“

On February

1,

 1973,

 the Environmental Protection Agency

filed a

 “Motion for Clarification of Quarterly Reports” asserting

that it could not tell from the quarterly reports whether Unit 5

of Powerton is included in the reports, and requested more accurate

reporting with respect to kw

 hours generated by each unit,

the

scheduled outages on the system on a unit by unit basis and the

unscheduled outages on a unit by unit basis.

The Company’s response indicated that the reports do not include

Powerton Unit

 5, which response should dispose of

 this problem.

The

remainder of

 the Company’s response indicated the difficulty and

impracticality of furnishing the information sought by the Agency.

We believe that the information sought by

 the Agency

 is not unreason-

able providing that it relates

to

 a reporting of events that have

already occurred and not those which have been projected into the

future, and that reporting of kw hours generated by each unit be on

a gross generation basis.

 We see no reason why the Company cannot

furnish the information sought on

 a unit by unit basis and direct

that all future quarterly reports reflect such information as

is

sought

by

the

Agency

its

Motion

for

Clarification

consistent

with

 this Order.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
