On February 21, 1991, counsel for Respondent advised the
Secretary that the parties in this case arising under the
Employee Protection Provision of the Energy Reorganization Act of
1974, as amended (ERA), 42 U.S.C. SS 5851 (1988), had reached a
settlement "in principle" and expected to submit an appropriate
notion in the near future. No such motion has been received.
The parties should submit a report to the Secretary on their
progress in reducing their settlement to writing within 30 days
from the date of this notice. The parties should take note that,
if significant progress has not been made to reach a written
settlement in the near future, the Secretary will proceed to
consider and decide the outstanding issues in this case.
