AFFIDAVIT OF MICHAEL J. WENTZEL CONCERNING MANDATORY DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENT OF 10 C.F.R. § 2.336(b)
I, Michael J. Wentzel, do hereby state as follows:
- 1. I am employed as a Project Manager in the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commissions (NRC) Nuclear Reactor Regulation. I currently serve as a project manager for the Indian Point Nuclear Generating Units 2 and 3 license renewal application (LRA). Among my other duties as project manager, since September 2014, I have been assisting with the preparation of the hearing file and mandatory disclosures in connection with the LRA at issue in this proceeding.
- 2. I hereby certify that all relevant materials required to be disclosed pursuant to 10 C.F.R. § 2.336 (b) and (c) in the captioned proceeding have been disclosed, and that the disclosures are accurate and complete for documents identified as of October 17, 2016.
- 3. I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct to the best of my knowledge, information and belief.

DECLARATION OF JANE E. MARSHALL I, Jane E. Marshall, do hereby state as follows:
- 1. I am employed as the Acting Director of the Division of License Renewal (DLR) in the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commissions (NRC) Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR).
My supervisory responsibilities include oversight of the NRC Staffs review and evaluation of the Indian Point Nuclear Generating Units 2 and 3 license renewal application.
- 2. As part of their responsibilities in updating the hearing file and mandatory disclosures for these proceedings, NRC staff members under my supervision identified documents as privileged because they contained information concerning the Staffs pre-decisional deliberative process. The documents are listed in Attachment 2 to the submission of the Staffs Hearing File Index Supplement 93.
- 3. I have personally reviewed the documents identified as privileged in , and have determined, in accordance with the guidance set forth in Management Directive 3.4, that they contain pre-decisional information concerning the Staffs review of the license renewal application. The documents contain either the Staffs analyses, recommendations, opinions, or evaluations, and may not necessarily reflect the final agency
position with respect to the matters discussed therein. The documents comprise part of the deliberative process necessary for the Staffs review of the pending license renewal application.
- 4. Further, I have determined that disclosure of the documents could result in harm to the agency, in that it would (a) prematurely disclose the preliminary views of individual Staff members and/or the Staff prior to reaching a final agency decision, and could thus create confusion as to the actual policy or views of the NRC Staff; (b) hinder the efficiency of the Staff, in that forced disclosure of its internal discussions on an unresolved issue would tend to chill all future deliberations and would interfere with the Staffs ability to engage in a free exchange of opinions and analyses prior to publishing its final review documents; and (c) imply or suggest incorrectly that the opinions of the Staff members involved in these communications are actually the final decisions of the agency, while no such final decision has yet been made.
- 5. Accordingly, I formally invoke the deliberative process privilege with respect to the documents listed in Attachment 2 to the submission of the Staffs Hearing File Index Supplement 93.
- 6. I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct to the best of my knowledge, information and belief.
