Part 2)

On August 3, 2012, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission amended its regulations related to adjudicatory proceedings under 10 C.F.R. Part 2.1 These new regulations take effect on September 4, 2012, and apply to obligations and disputes that arise after that date.2 While we expect that the parties will familiarize themselves with these new regulations in their entirety, we wish to highlight two changes that are particularly relevant to this proceeding.

First, given Intervenors recent string of requests to amend proposed Contention 5, we note that the Commission has amended the regulations regarding the filing of new and amended contentions.3 Second, given a prior dispute that arose in this proceeding regarding the timing of dispositive motions, we note that the Commission has clarified that the 10-day 1

deadline in 10 C.F.R. § 2.323(a) for filing motions applies to all motions . . . except § 2.309 motions for new or amended contentions filed after the initial period for petitions to intervene.4 The Initial Scheduling Order (ISO) will continue to govern the conduct of this proceeding.5 If any of the parties believes that the new regulations require a change to our ISO, it should bring the matter to the Boards attention in a response to this issuance filed no later than Wednesday, August 29, 2012.
