VERMONT DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SERVICE MOTION TO COMPEL PRODUCTION OF CERTAIN NRC STAFF DOCUMENTS (II)
I. INTRODUCTION Pursuant to 10 C.F.R. §2.323 the Vermont Department of Public Service (DPS) moves the Board to direct the NRC Staff (Staff) to produce certain documents the existence of which was disclosed on it September 6, 2005 Deliberative Process Log (DPL). A copy of the DPL is attached as Tab C with an asterisk along side each document as to which this Motion to Compel is directed. The documents, based on their limited description in the DPL, do not qualify for a deliberative process privilege. These documents merely represent ongoing work by NRC Staff personnel on issues which are directly relevant to the current proceeding.' Contrary to the very limited type of documents to which the deliberative process privilege applies - non-factual material which reveals the decision-making process of the NRC - these documents appear to contain substantial factual information and none involve any decision-making process. Thus, DPS requests the Board order the production of the documents at issue and establish a principle
' There is no issue that the documents are relevant to the proceeding since they all appear on a disclosure made by the Staff in this proceeding pursuant to 10 C.F.R. §§2.336(b)and (d).
I Temp/a7Ae =*ecyV- ol
for use of the deliberative process privilege that will require the NRC Staff to produce all similar documents that are relevant to this proceeding.
II. COMPLIANCE WITH 10 CFR § 2.323 Prior to filing this motion, DPS and Staff conducted both oral and written communications in an effort to resolve their differences. Copies of the written communications, are attached as Tab A. The Certification of counsel required by § 2.323(b) is attached as Tab B.
There is also a requirement of § 2.323(a) that all motions must be filed within 10 days after "the occurrence or circumstance from which the motion arises." Because it is possible the 10 days could be deemed to run from the date of Staff disclosures to which objection is raised, which in this case would be 10 days after September 6,2005, when Staff produced the DPL at issue here, DPS and Staff have reached an agreement, reflected in the correspondence previously provided to the Board as part of its Motion to Compel dated August 31, 2005, that Staff will not raise an issue of timeliness of this pleading provided it is filed, as it is, within five (5) business days of Staffs written response to DPS's objection to the DPL. 2 Staff responded to DPS's September 13, 2005 objections to the September 6, 2005 DPL by a letter dated September 23, 2005, but sent only by regular mail and not received until September 27, 2005.
III. ARGUMENT DPS has previously presented its arguments on the timeliness of the'Motion to Compel and on the inappropriate deliberative process designation assigned to certain classes of documents in its August 31, 2005 Motion to Compel. Because the documents at issue here are of 2 Also pursuant to agreement between DPS and Staff, the objections to the DPL had to be filed, as they were, within 10 days of its production. The objection to the DPL was filed by letter dated September 13, 2005.
2
the same type and character, DPS incorporates by reference those arguments in support of this Motion to Compel. 3 IV. CONCLUSION For the reasons stated we urge the Board to order Staff to produce these documents and to withdraw the claim of a deliberative process privilege for all similar documents where the document reflects issue of concern to Staff or areas of potential inquiry identified by Staff.
Alternatively, we request the Board direct Staff to produce these and all similar documents for in camera inspection and on the basis of that inspection order production of all documents which do not meet the criteria discussed above.

Lyme,NH 03768 Dated this 29 th day of September 2005 at Montpelier, Vermont.
3 DPS proposed to the new Staff counsel that we avoid filing additional Motions to Compel until the Board had ruled on the pending motion and agree that production of other contested documents be governed by the Board's decision. Staff counsel rejected the proposal.

Dear Jason:
This letter identifies documents on the NRC Staff's September 8, 2005 Deliberative Process Log which DPS believes should have been produced. The documents are the following:
ML052230204 ML052230209 ML052230210
ML052340101 MLM23 10075 ML052340089 ML052340108 ML052340239 ML052340258 ML052340262 ML052340251 ML052360320 ML052410318 ML052410385 ML052410296 ML052410379 ML052410310 ML052410383 ML052410391 ML052410316 ML052410395 ML052420358 ML052420371 ML052420376
lML052420384 We believe the scope of the Deliberative Process Privilege is narrow and does not include documents that do not disclose the deliberative process leading to a policy decision by the NRC Staff and does not include facts contained in documents. As best as we can determine, from the limited disclosures made in the Log, none of the documents identified above meet the narrow criteria for application of the Deliberative Process Privilege.
Consistent with my previous discussions with Ms. Poole, I understand that the Staff agrees that the time for filing a motion with the ASLB regarding the failure to produce the identified documents will be extended until a reasonable time following a response to this letter from the Staff. I suggest the time be 5 business days from the date of the response. I also propose the Staff provide its response to this letter request within the next two weeks. Since technically an "agreement" between us as to a filing deadline set by the Regulations is ineffective, I propose we agree that I may advise the ASLB of our agreement and that the Staff will not oppose any motion with regard to these documents that we file based on timeliness.
Thank you for consideration of our request.

84 East Thetford Road Lyme, NH 03768 In the Matter of Entergy Nuclear Vermont.Yankee, LLC, eata (Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station)
Docket No. 50-271-0LA (Extended Power Uprate-
Dear Mr. Roisman:
I am writing Inresponse to your letter to Jason Zom, dated September 13. 2005, in which you request the Staff's disclosure of 25 of the 38 documents that were Identified as privileged In the NRC Staff's Deliberative Process Log of September 8, 2005.
We have reviewed the documents listed in your letter, In order to verify that they were properly withheld under the pre-decisional deliberative process privilege. The documents consist of internal NRC Staff E-mall communliations, containing an exchange of thoughts,'mental impressions, opinions and recommendations pertaining to the Staff's ongo1ng review of the Vermont Yankee'extended power uprate (EPU) license amendment application and the Staff's requests for additional information (RAls) concerning that application. In sum, the documents were properly withheld under the pre-decisiorial deliberative process privilege.
Your request for these documents fails to present any reason why you need these internal, pre-decisional documents. Further, inasmuch as the documents generally pertain to the formulation of RAls and/or responses received from the Licensee, various other documents are or will be.avallable to you (e.g., the RAls as issued, she Ucensee's responses, and the Safety Evaluation Report) which would provide any necessary Information for your review.
In our telephone discussion of September 16, you stated your view that the pre-decisional deliberative process privilege does not begin to apply until the Staff has concluded Its effort to gather information and has commenced to udeliberate' on whether to grant the application. You were unable to cite any legal authority for that view, and I am not aware of any valid basis for it.
In fact, the deliberative process Includes various steps, including deliberations as to the sufficiency of the information contained in the application, and the need for further Information in order to reach a final regulatory decision. Your interpretation would render the privilege meaningless; further, your request for so many internal NRC Staff communications, without showing any reason why the documents should be disclosed, represents a fundamental and unfounded challenge to the deliberative process privilege.
Anthony Z. Roisman, Esq.
September 23, 2005 Page 2 Finally, in your letter you refer to "previous discussions" you have had with Brooke Poole (formerly Counsel for the Staff in this proceeding), concerning the timeliness of any motion to.
compel that you may wish to file before the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board. As you know, I was not privy to any such previous discussions. However, 1 am not comfortable with your Interpretation of those discussions which Would, in effect, provide an extended time limit for-your filing any motion to compel. Accordingly, while I am ready and willing to discuss any request for documents in advance of your filing a motion to compel, henceforth any extensions of time for the filing of a motion to compel should be discussed with me on a case-by-case basis. In the absence of any agreement for such an extension on a case-by-case basis, you should not assume that the Staff consents to an extension of the time for the filing of a motion to compel.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions in this regard.
Sincerely, Sherwin E. Turk Special Counsel for Litigation cc: Sara Hofmann, Esq.

CERTIFICATION OF COUNSEL Pursuant to 10 CFR §2.323(b) the undersigned counsel certifies that he has made a sincere effort to convince NRC Staff that certain documents which it has withheld from disclosure as deliberative process documents should be produced. Staff has not been willing to accept the arguments advanced by undersigned counsel but also has not provided undersigned counsel with any persuasive reasons or legal precedents sufficient to convince him that the position of DPS is in error. Thus, the good faith efforts of Staff and undersigned counsel to resolve this matter without involvement of the Board have failed.
