UNITED STATES OF AMERICA NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION ATOMIC SAFETY AND LICENSING BOARD Before Administrative Judges:
William J. Froehlich, Chairman Nicholas G. Trikouros Dr. William E. Kastenberg In the Matter of: Docket No. 50-346-LR FIRSTENERGY NUCLEAR OPERATING ASLBP No. 11-907-01-LR-BD01 COMPANY (Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station, Unit 1) November 2, 2011 ORDER (Granting Motion for Modification of Initial Scheduling Order)
On November 1, 2011, FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company (FirstEnergy) moved pursuant to 10 C.F.R. § 2.323(a) that the Board modify Section A.2 of its Initial Scheduling Order to require that updates to mandatory disclosures and to the NRC Staffs hearing file be due no later than the last calendar day of each month instead of by the 15th of each month.1 FirstEnergy requests that no alteration be made to Section A.2s requirement that these updates cover all documents or other material or information required to be disclosed that are in the possession, custody, or control of each party (or its agents) as of the last day of the preceding month.2 In essence, FirstEnergy is requesting a full calendar month to produce the updates rather than the 15 calendar days currently required under the Initial Scheduling Order. FirstEnergy states that good cause supports this motion because a dry-run of identifying, collecting, and reviewing potentially-relevant documents from more than 50 custodians, seven different corporate sources of records in six different locations, and at least one off-site contractor revealed that FirstEnergy 1

2 Id. at 1-2 (quoting ISO at 5).
2 needs a full calendar month to update the mandatory disclosures.3 Counsel for FirstEnergy states he has consulted with counsel for the NRC Staff and the Joint Intervenors4 as required by 10 C.F.R. § 2.323(b), that they would want the relief also granted to them, and that no party opposes this motion.5 Further, FirstEnergy relates that the NRC Staff requests modification of Section F.2 of the Initial Scheduling Order so that the Staffs requirement to submit a monthly status report of its best estimate for the issuance dates of the draft and final versions of the SER and SEIS is made concurrent with the monthly updates at the end of each month, instead of the 15th of each month.6 For good cause shown, and consistent with the intent of 10 C.F.R. § 2.334(b), the Board hereby grants the unopposed motion. Sections A.2 and F.2 of the Initial Scheduling Order of June 15, 2011 are modified so that updates to disclosures, updates to the hearing file, and monthly status reports are due no later than the last calendar day of each month. All other provisions of the Initial Scheduling Order remain in effect.7 It is so ORDERED.
