UNITED STATES OF AMERICA NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION BEFORE THE ATOMIC SAFETY AND LICENSING BOARD

In the Matter of ) Docket Nos. 50-247-LR and
) 50-286-LR ENTERGY NUCLEAR OPERATIONS, INC. )
)
(Indian Point Nuclear Generating Units 2 and 3) )
) April 17, 2013 ENTERGYS MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE COMBINED ANSWER AND REPLIES Pursuant to 10 C.F.R. § 2.323(a) and Section G.4 of the Boards Scheduling Order of July 1, 2010, Applicant Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (Entergy) respectfully requests a two-week extension of time, until May 6, 2013, to file its combined answer and replies regarding Coastal Zone Management Act (CZMA) issues. On April 11, 2013, the Board entered an Order granting Entergys motions for (1) leave to file replies to certain arguments in the answers of New York State and Riverkeeper to Entergys Motion for Declaratory Order, and (2) a one-week extension of time to file its answer to New Yorks Cross-Motion for Declaratory Order. The Boards Order requires Entergy to file a combined answer and replies in a single filing on April 22, 2013.1 There is appropriate cause to grant Entergy an additional two weeks to file its combined answer and replies because the papers filed by New York and Riverkeeper raise new issues requiring further investigation and attach numerous documents requiring careful review and consideration. Although Entergy initially anticipated that the one-week extension to April 1
Order (Granting Entergys Motion for an Extension of Time and for Leave to File Replies) 2 (Apr. 11, 2013).
22nd would be sufficient, Entergy has now determined that additional time is needed to fully investigate and respond. Moreover, Entergys request for a further extension of two weeks, like the one week already granted, is de minimus in comparison to the three extensions of time totaling nearly eight months that the Board granted the other parties for answering Entergys Motion for Declaratory Order. For all these reasons, appropriate cause exists to grant Entergy an additional two weeks to file its combined answer and replies.2 In accordance with 10 C.F.R. § 2.323(b), counsel for Entergy has consulted with counsel for New York, Riverkeeper, Clearwater, and the NRC Staff. Staff counsel does not oppose this motion, and counsel for Clearwater takes no position. Counsel for New York opposes the motion on the grounds that New Yorks Cross-Motion for a Declaratory Order does not need a response, and New York and Riverkeepers answers to Entergys Motion for Declaratory Order do not raise any new issues. Riverkeeper opposes the motion for the same reasons that it opposed Entergys motions for leave to file replies to New York and Riverkeepers answers.
2 Scheduling Order 7 (July 1, 2010).
Dated: April 17, 2013 Respectfully submitted, Executed in accord with 10 C.F.R. § 2.304(d)
