Dear Administrative Judges:
The State of New York writes to bring the Boards attention to an upcoming event that, in the States view, is relevant and material to the aging management issues being raised in the Track 2 contentions in this proceeding.
On November 16, 2016, the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards (ACRS) Subcommittee on Metallurgy & Reactor Fuels is scheduled to hold a public meeting from 8:30 a.m. until 12:00 p.m. See 81 Fed. Reg. 75,859 (Nov. 1, 2016) [Att. 1 hereto]. According to the Notice of Meeting, the Subcommittee will review and discuss the Baffle-Former Bolts Degradation issue. Id. Additionally, the Subcommittee will hear presentations by and hold discussions with the NRC staff and other interested persons regarding this matter, and will gather information, analyze relevant issues and facts, and formulate proposed positions and actions, as appropriate, for deliberation by the Full Committee. Id.
According to the agenda for the meeting, one of the NRC staff presentations that the Subcommittee will hear is by Mr. Jeffrey Poehler, who is also a witness for Staff in this proceeding. See ACRS Meeting of the Subcommittee on Metallurgy & Reactor Fuels (Nov. 16, 2016) (ML16301A460) [Att. 2 hereto].
The State notes that this Subcommittee meeting is scheduled for the day before the deadline for the submission of supplemental expert testimony by State and Riverkeeper, as intervenors in this proceeding. As the Board is aware, this supplemental testimony will concern, among other things, aging management issues related to the degradation of baffle-former bolts discovered at Indian Point Unit 2.
2 The State appreciates the Boards consideration of this information.
Respectfully submitted, Signed (electronically) by John J. Sipos Assistant Attorney General cc: NRC EIE Service List

See 81 FR 68,462, 68,465 (Oct. 4, 2016). By email dated October 11, 2016, Mr. Sabatini Monatesti requested access to SUNSI material, and he supplemented the request with another email dated October 17, 2016.
