HUDSON RIVER SLOOP CLEARWATER INC.S UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR 3 MINUTE EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE COMBINED ANSWER BRIEF Pursuant to 10 C.F.R. § 2.333 and § 2.307(a), Hudson River Sloop Clearwater, Inc.

(Clearwater) hereby requests that the Commission grant an extension of time of 3 minutes in which to file its Combined Answer in opposition to the Applicants Petition for Review and the NRC Staffs Petition for Review regarding Contention CW-EC-3A (Answer Brief). The request is unopposed.

Clearwaters counsel apologizes to the Commission and the parties for having to submit this motion for a de minimus 3-minute extension, but does so to come into technical compliance the deadline for submitting Clearwaters Answer Brief.

Pursuant to the Commission Order of February 28, 2014, Clearwater was to file its Answer Brief by March 25, 2014. The Answer Brief was timely completed on March 25, 2014 but was technically filed 3 minutes after midnight Eastern Standard Time. Clearwaters counsel logged onto the NRCs filing website prior to midnight but was delayed a few minutes while online in completing the filing due to entry issues and having to reformat the Brief from Word to pdf format for filing, and was essentially standing in line to file when the midnight deadline ran, and the filing was entered by NRC computer processing as 3 minutes after midnight.

Clearwaters counsel diligently worked to complete the Answer Brief for several weeks and was delayed shortly before filing when the final draft was inadvertently saved without the final revisions and they had to be re-entered. At the time the Answer Brief was filed, it was 10:03 pm MST on March 25, 2014, in Denver, Colorado, from where the Answer Brief was filed.

The Answer Brief has been filed with the Commission and served on all parties. The 3 minute delay is de minimus, unintentional, and does not prejudice any party nor the Commission in any manner. In contrast, Clearwater would suffer great prejudice if the Answer Brief were not accepted.

Clearwaters counsel contacted counsel for all parties in this proceeding and all parties expressed that they were unopposed to the request for a 3-minute extension of time.

Accordingly, for good cause shown, Clearwater requests that the Commission grant it 3 additional minutes in which to submit its Answer Brief.
