3 Reply Memorandum Regarding Timeliness and Admissibility of New Contentions Seeking Consideration of Environmental Implications of Fukushima Task Force Report in Individual Reactor Licensing Proceedings (Sept. 13, 2011).
to address CLI-11-05s relevance here because it was issued after TVA filed its opposition on September 6.4 TVA represents that the other parties do not oppose its motion for leave to file a surreply.5 Given that TVA has shown compelling circumstances pursuant to 10 C.F.R. § 2.323(c),
TVAs request to file a surreply is hereby granted. TVA may file a surreply as requested on or before Wednesday, September 21, 2011.
