FRIENDS OF THE EARTHS MOTION FOR AN EXTENSION OF TIME IN WHICH TO FILE AN ANSWER TO STAFFS MOTION TO VACATE On June 14, 2013, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Staff filed a Motion to Vacate the Licensing Boards Full Initial Decision, LBP-13-071 on questions referred to the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board (ASLB) by the Commission. Friends of the Earth (FoE), a party to the ASLB proceeding below, requests additional time in which to file an answer to the Staffs motion because FoEs lead counsel, Richard Ayres, is out of the country with limited communication ability until July 1, 2013. FoE therefore requests until July 3, 2013 to file an answer.2 FoEs motion arises from the Staffs June 14, 2013 filing and is thus timely submitted (within 10 days) in accordance with 10 C.F.R. § 2.323(a)(2).

FoEs request is reasonable because the parties will not be harmed by a brief extension of time, especially since Southern California Edison Company, the licensee, has announced it will not seek to restart San Onofre Units 2 or 3.

1 Southern California Edison Co. (San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, Units 2 and 3), LBP-13-07 (May 13, 2013).

2 Pursuant to 10 C.F.R. § 2.323(b), FoE has contacted Staff and Southern California Edison Company, also a party to the ASLB proceeding below. Staff state they do not oppose this motion. Edison takes no position on the motion.

For the foregoing reasons, FoE requests an extension of time in which to file a response to the Staffs motion of 9 days. FoEs answer would then be due July 3, 2013.

Respectfully submitted,
