x UNOPPOSED MOTION BY STATE OF NEW YORK FOR LEAVE TO FILE ADDITIONAL EXHIBITS CONCERNING CONTENTION NYS-37 Office of the Attorney General for the State of New York The Capitol State Street Albany, New York 12224

1 INTRODUCTION In accordance with 10 C.F.R. § 2.323(a) and the Atomic Safety and Licensing Boards (Board) direction during the September 24, 2012 prehearing teleconference, the State of New York requests leave to file three additional New York Exhibits NYS000443 to NYS000445.

Good cause exists for allowing the State to file these additional exhibits because they came into existence very recently and are relevant to issues likely to be discussed at the upcoming evidentiary hearing. Their admission is necessary to develop a full hearing record and will not cause delay or harm to any party. The State has disclosed the documents to the parties. The State of New York has consulted with Entergy, NRC Staff, Riverkeeper, and Clearwater have consulted pursuant to 10 C.F.R. § 2.323(b), and none of these parties opposes this motion.

ARGUMENT GOOD CAUSE EXISTS FOR ALLOWING THE STATE TO FILE THE ADDITIONAL EXHIBITS It is of the utmost importance that the Board has a full record of all material and relevant evidence when rendering its relicensing decision. See Pacific Gas & Electric Co. (Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant, Units 1 & 2), ALAB-580, 11 N.R.C. 227, 230 (Atomic Licensing Appeal Board 1980) (No conceivable good is served by making empty findings in the absence of essential evidence.). To that end, the Board has indicated that parties may proffer newly-created, relevant documents identified as new exhibits. See Teleconference Tr. at 1220, 1245-46 (Sept. 24, 2012). Therefore, the State respectfully requests these exhibits be admitted to ensure that the ultimate decision on relicensing is based on a complete record.

New York Exhibits NYS000443 to NYS000445 include the following three documents:

2

(NYS000445).

None of these documentsdated August, September, and October 2012were previously available to the State for inclusion in the States June 29, 2012 rebuttal submissions. The documents refer to approvals for additional electric generation capacity. Thus, the issues addressed in these documents were already likely hearing topics and the introduction of these exhibits will not expand the scope of the hearing, delay the hearing, or have any adverse effect on the proceeding.

CONCLUSION For the above reasons, the State respectfully requests that the Board grant the State of New York leave to file NYS000443 to NYS000445 as additional exhibits.1 The three documents

- with exhibit markers - accompany this filing.

Respectfully submitted, Signed (electronically) by John J. Sipos Assistant Attorney General Office of the Attorney General for the State of New York The Capitol Albany, New York 12227 (518) 402-2251 Dated: October 9, 2012 1 Last week, the State withdrew Exhibit NYS000442, and the State will not use exhibit number NYS000442 in this proceeding.

Certificate Pursuant to 10 C.F.R. § 2.323 In accordance with the Boards Scheduling Order of July 1, 2010 (at 8-9) and 10 C.F.R.

§ 2.323(b), the undersigned counsel hereby certifies that counsel for the State of New York has made a sincere effort to contact other parties in the proceeding and resolve the issues raised in the motion. The State of New Yorks efforts to resolve the issues with the other parties has been successful, and none of the parties oppose the States motion.
