Re: Request for Extension to file Formal Requests for Hearing and Petitions to Intervene with Contentions in Docket Nos. 50-247-LR; 50-286-LR: ASLBP No. 07-858-03-LR-BD01
Dear Chairman McDade,
Judge Wardwell and Judge Lathrop:
Assemblyman Richard L. Brodsky ("Assemblyman Brodsky") hereby respectfully requests on his own behalf, on behalf of his constituents, on behalf of the Westchester-Rockland Delegation to the New York State Assembly, including but not limited to, Assemblyman Adam Bradley, Assemblywoman Ellen Jaffee, Assemblyman George Latimer and Assemblyman Kenneth Zerbrowski, and the associated Members of the Delegation, and on behalf of all similarly situated stakeholders, that he and those other similarly situated stakeholders referenced above, be granted a ten (10) day extension of time, from November 30, 2007 to December 10, 2007, for filing a Petition to Intervene and Request for Hearing in the above-referenced license renewal proceeding. Based on information and belief, he understands that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission ("Commission") has granted a ten day extension to other persons by Order dated November 16, 2007, and that review of further applications for extension was contemplated by the Commission in its November 16 Order.'
See e-mail from Emile Julian, NRC, to Susan Shapiro, FUSE, dated November 20, 2007. "The Order explicitly states that any further requests shall be referred to the ASLB. Thus, the Commission contemplates that there may be additional persons who believe that they should receive additional time because of the malfunction of ADAMS and that those requests should be forwarded to the ASLB for appropriate review."

ALBANY OFFICE: Room 422, Legislative Office Building, Albany, New York 12248, (518) 455-5753 Q DISTRICT OFFICE: 5 West Main Street, Suite 205, Elmstord, New York 10523, (914) 345-0432
The original deadline for Requests for Hearing or Petitions for Leave to Intervene in the license renewal proceeding was October 1, 2007, but was extended by the Commission on October 1, 2007 until November 30, 2007.: During much of the two months between such extension and this filing, the Commission's ADAMS system for document research and retrieval functioned intermittently or was completely inaccessible to the public because of systems crashing. Specifically, in or around late October, ADAMS became completely inaccessible to the public in excess of two weeks. Consequently, Assemblyman Brodsky and other stakeholders were unable to gain access to documents of critical importance in the formation of their Requests for Hearing and Petitions to Intervene, including but not limited to the license renewal application itself. Assemblyman Brodsky asserts therefore that the extension requested herein is in the public interest because his participation in this proceeding on his own behalf, and on behalf of the Westchester-Rockland Delegation, Assemblymembers Bradley, Jaffee, Latimer and Zerbrowski, and the other stakeholders referenced above, will assist in the development of a sound record, as his repeated, unique and successful involvement in legal proceedings, policy issues and legislative considerations concerning Indian Point has shown.3 Due to the time-sensitive nature of this request, Assemblyman Brodsky respectfully requests a response as soon as is reasonably possible.
Sincerely, Richard A. Berkley, Esq.
