- Hardware and software components that constituted the NRC portion of original LSN no longer available or supported
- Original LSN Guidelines to be updated by the LSNA, with the LSNARP, to provide technical guidance on the operation
- Reconstituted or replacement LSN needs to remain in operation through any judicial appellate proceedings following the receive and possess licensing proceeding
- Participants 2011 bibliographic information still associated with each header and document
- Original LSN accession number can be used to find headers and documents in the public ADAMS LSN Library Page 16 of 114
Document Sizing Responses
- Inyo County = ~ 50 documents, no header only entries
- NEI = 100 to 500 documents, no header only entries
- State of Nevada = 1,000+ documents
- Additional license application work and new contentions will influence the amount of new material
- NRC = 1,000 to 2,000 new documents, 1% header only
- Significant uncertainties as to resumption of adjudication may impact estimate

E-Filing and the Electronic Hearing Docket Russell Chazell Assistant for Rulemakings and Adjudications FACA Committee Management Officer Office of the Secretary Page 22 of 114
Office of the Secretary (SECY)
- The Commission mandated electronic filing in 10 CFR 2.1013.
- 10 CFR 2.1013(a)(2) mandates that SECY manage the High Level Waste (HLW) docket.
- To facilitate electronic filing of HLW documents, the Electronic Information Exchange (EIE) and Electronic Hearing Docket (EHD) systems were developed and implemented.
- These systems are currently used for submission of adjudicatory documents.
Page 23 of 114
EFiling and the Electronic Hearing Docket
- Documents are filed using the NRCs Electronic Information Exchange (EIE) at

Exhibit Submission Gap Andy Welkie IT Specialist Atomic Safety and Licensing Board Panel Page 54 of 114
Exhibit Submission Background
- Exhibits are documents or objects offered as evidence to support written or oral testimony
- 10 C.F.R. § 2.1001 Definitions.
- LSN is ... the combined system that makes documentary material available electronically to parties...
- Electronic docket is ... the NRC information system that receives, distributes, stores, and retrieves the Commission's adjudicatory docket materials. (i.e. EIE and EHD)
- 10 C.F.R. § 2.1013 Use of the electronic docket during the proceeding.
- (b) Absent good cause, all exhibits tendered during the hearing must have been made available to the parties in electronic form before the commencement of that portion of the hearing in which the exhibit will be offered.
- 10 C.F.R. § 2.304 Prefiled written testimony and exhibits.
- (g)... the written testimony of each individual witness or witness panel and each individual exhibit shall be submitted as an individual electronic file.
Page 55 of 114
Exhibit Submission Gap
- High percentage of evidentiary material likely exists in the LSN with no automated mechanism to submit a document as an exhibit directly from the LSN to the Electronic Hearing Docket
- Reentry of existing bibliographic information would be required resulting in higher labor effort and potential data entry errors
- Potentially significant participant labor effort to download documents from the LSN and submit through the Electronic Information Exchange Page 56 of 114
Process to File an LSN Document as an Exhibit (If the Proceeding had Continued in 2011)
- 1. Find the document(s) in the LSN
- 2. Download the document(s) and either
- Use the entire document
- Extract parts of the document
- 3. Place an exhibit number on each document
- 4. Log in to the Electronic Information Exchange
- 5. Fill out information regarding the exhibit
- 6. Submit each exhibit (100 MB aggregate file size limit per submission)
- 7. Receive a confirmation email that the submission was successful
- 8. Add the exhibit(s) to an exhibit list and submit the exhibits list per Board instructions Page 57 of 114
Potential Gap Closure Process to File an LSN Document as an Exhibit (If the Proceeding were to Resume)
- 1. Find the document(s) in the reconstituted/replacement LSN system
- 2. Add the document(s) to an exhibit cart by a tobedetermined selection method
- 3. For each document listed in the cart
- Specify full document or specific pages
- Provide an exhibit number
- 4. Submit the exhibit cart (Each exhibit would have a systemgenerated cover sheet added that included party exhibit number, LSN accession number, title (from LSN header), etc.)
- 5. Receive a confirmation email that the documents in the cart were submitted
- 6. Download an exhibit list based on documents submitted from the exhibit cart Page 58 of 114
Limitations
- Only for publically available documents contained in a reconstituted/replacement LSN system
- Headeronly documents would be filed separately (likely as a nonpublic exhibit or physical exhibit)
- NonLSN documents would be filed separately (e.g. prefiled testimony or other nondiscovery material)
Page 59 of 114

Option 1 Traditional Discovery Paul Bollwerk, Administrative Judge Atomic Safety and Licensing Board Panel Page 62 of 114
Background
- For Restarted Adjudication, a Principal Concern Will Be Ensuring Suitable Participant Access to Both Existing and New Documentary Material
- To Address This Concern
- Is an Entirely New LSNlike Electronic System Necessary for All Materials
- or
- Will Traditional Discovery Methods Be Sufficient for New Documentary Material?
Page 63 of 114
Traditional Discovery Process (Background)
- 10 C.F.R. § 2.336 Details Document Discovery Procedures
- Requires Initial and Subsequent Periodic Document Disclosures
- Participants Must Provide a Copy or Description, by Category and Location, of Each Relevant Document
- Generally Implemented by Electronic Hearing Docket Filing of Document Lists, with Document Distribution Governed by Participantestablished Protocols Page 64 of 114
Option Assumptions
- Hearing Participants Will Have a Small Volume of New Discovery Material
- NRC Will Continue to Maintain the Public LSN Library for Existing Documentary Material Page 65 of 114
General Description
- Public LSN Library Remains Source for Documentary Material Identified Prior to Adjudications Suspension
- New Documentary Material Would Be Exchanged/Made Available to Adjudication Participants Via Traditional Discovery Methods Page 66 of 114
Cost and Time Estimate
