§ 2.309(c)(1)(iii) if it is filed within thirty (30) days of the date when the new and material information on which it is based first becomes available to the moving party through service, publication, or any other means.
All other provisions of the ISO remain in effect, except as previously amended by the Boards orders of August 23, 2011 and October 3, 2011.6 In addition, the Board directs the NRC Staff to promptly advise the Board of significant developments (including but not limited to the scheduling of argument or issuance of a decision) 4 Id. at 2-4.
