Docket No. 50-219-LR ORDER Nuclear Information and Resource Service, New Jersey Shore Nuclear Watch, Inc., Grandmothers, Mothers and More for Energy Safety, New Jersey Public Interest Research Group, New Jersey Sierra Club, and New Jersey Environmental Federation (collectively, Citizens) filed an Emergency Motion for Additional Pages to Appeal the Boards Final Decision on January 4, 2008 (Motion). Citizens requests 15 pages in addition to the maximum of 25 pages permitted under our rules (10 C.F.R. § 2.341(b)(2)). As justification for its request, Citizens states that the 25-page limit is extremely tight for a filing that petitions for review of all of the issues raised in the proceeding in over two years of litigation, and that it would not be able to fully brief the issues without an increase in the page limit. The NRC Staff1 and AmerGen Energy Company, LLC,2 both oppose the motion.

The Motion is denied. Petitioners have not shown good cause justifying expanding the 25-page limit on petitions for review. Should the Commission grant review, it may, in its discretion, seek additional briefing. See 10 CFR 2.341(c).
