Administrative Judges December 17, 2012 Page 2 any further CZMA review is still pending before, and to be resolved by, the Board.2 Entergy continues to maintain that it already obtained consistency reviews for purposes of IP2 and IP3 license renewal, and that IP2 and IP3 require no further review in connection with this proceeding. Nonetheless, because of delays in resolving whether license renewal requires any further CZMA review, Entergy has determined that it is prudent to file a consistency certification, under full reservation of rights, at this time. Entergy expressly reserves all rights to contest the validity and enforceability of the NYCMP, and the authority of NYSDOS to conduct federal consistency review, under both federal and state law. Further, notwithstanding this certification, Entergy urges the Board to rule on Entergys Motion for Declaratory Order to resolve the legal uncertainty of whether Entergy must submit to a redundant consistency review process that is obviated by controlling CZMA regulations.
2 In addition, for the reasons presented to NYSDOS by Entergys petition filed on November 7, 2012, license renewal is exempt from review under the terms of the NYCMP itself. Entergy reserves its rights to seek judicial review in the event that NYSDOS should fail to recognize IPEC as grandfathered under the NYCMP.
