(Indian Point Nuclear Generating Unit Nos. 2 and 3)
Docket Nos. 50-247-LR/286-LR
Dear Administrative Judges:
As discussed during the prehearing teleconference held on May 19, 2011, the NRC Staff
("Staff') has discovered that Appendix C to the "NRC Staff's Answer to the State of New York's Motion to Compel the Production of Documents," filed on May 9,2011, omitted certain documents which the Staff had intended to include in that document. As discussed, I am herewith providing to the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board ("Board") and the Board's Law Clerk, for the Board's in camera review, a CD containing electronic copies of these documents, along with the Declaration of Brian E. Holian asserting the deliberative process privilege with respect to the documents identified as "DP" in Appendix C-1.
I wish to point out that Appendix C-1 contains 34 files, 12 of which are duplicates (in PDF format) of computer files that we received from Sandia in native format in a zip file. The Staff is herewith providing those documents in both native format and PDF format, indicating the corresponding PDF or native format "NIA" document identification number.
A copy of Appendix C-1 is being served upon Counsel for the State and the other parties to this proceeding.
Judge McDade May 20,2011 Judge Lathrop Judge Wardwell As discussed during the prehearing teleconference, I will contact Counsel for the State on Monday, to discuss the documents that the Staff has agreed to produce to the State and the Applicant.
Siy;rely,
/.J£Ln.tJ<...f-;~

(Indian Point Nuclear Generating Units 2 and 3)

DECLARATION OF BRIAN E. HOLIAN I, Brian E. Holian, do hereby state as follows:
- 1.
I am employed as the Director of the Division of License Renewal ("DLR"), in the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission's ("NRC") Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation ("NRR").
My supervisory responsibilities include oversight of the NRC Staff's review and evaluation of the Indian Point Nuclear Generating Station Units 2 and 3 license renewal application.
- 2.
As part of their responsibilities in updating the hearing file and mandatory disclosures for these proceedings, and/or producing documents for the Board's in camera inspection, NRC staff members under my supervision identified documents as privileged because they contained information concerning the Staff's pre-decisional deliberative process.
These documents are listed in Appendix C-1, dated May 20,2011, concerning the "NRC Staff's Answer to the State of New York's Motion to Compel the Production of Documents."
- 3.
I have personally reviewed the documents identified as subject to the deliberative process privilege ("DP") in Appendix C-1, and have determined, in accordance with the guidance set forth in Management Directive 3.4, that they contain pre-deCisional information concerning the Staff's review of the license renewal application. The documents contain either the Staff's analyses, recommendations, opinions, or evaluations, and may not necessarily
- 2 reflect the final agency position with respect to the matters discussed therein. These documents comprise part of the deliberative process necessary for the Staff's review of the pending license renewal application.
- 4.
Further, I have determined that disclosure of the documents could result in harm to the agency, in that it would (a) prematurely disclose the preliminary views of individual Staff members and/or the Staff prior to reaching a final agency decision, and could thus create confusion as to the actual policy or views of the NRC Staff; (b) hinder the efficiency of the Staff, in that forced disclosure of its internal discussions on an unresolved issue would tend to chili all future deliberations and would interfere with the Staff's ability to engage in a free exchange of opinions and analyses prior to publishing its final review documents; and (c) imply or suggest incorrectly that the opinions of the Staff members involved in these communications are actually the final decisions of the agency, while no such final decision has yet been made.
- 5.
Accordingly, I formally invoke the deliberative process privilege with respect to the documents listed as subject to the deliberative process privilege in Appendix C-1 to the NRC Staff's Answer to the State of New York's Motion to Compel the Production of Documents.
- 6.
I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct to the best of my knowledge, information and belief.
