UNITED STATES OF AMERICA NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION ATOMIC SAFETY AND LICENSING BOARD Before Administrative Judges:

Paul S. Ryerson, Chairman Nicholas G. Trikouros Dr. Gary S. Arnold In the Matter of Docket No. 72-1050-ISFSI INTERIM STORAGE PARTNERS LLC ASLBP No. 19-959-01-ISFSI-BD01 (WCS Consolidated Interim Storage Facility) January 10, 2019 ORDER (Concerning Oral Argument)

The Board will conduct a prehearing conference to hear oral argument on standing and contention admissibility.

As several petitioners have recognized,1 although there are differences, there are also similarities between this proceeding and a pending proceeding that involves a license application for another consolidated interim storage facility that would be constructed and operated in Lea County, New Mexico.2 The Board presently expects to issue a ruling on standing and contention admissibility in the New Mexico case in March, and believes oral argument in this case will be more productive if the participants have an opportunity to consider the Boards ruling in the New Mexico proceeding.

1 Motion of Sierra Club, Dont Waste Michigan, Citizens Environmental Coalition, Citizens for Alternatives to Chemical Contamination, Nuclear Energy Information Service, Public Citizen, Inc., San Luis Obispo Mothers for Peace, Sustainable Energy and Economic Development (SEED) Coalition and Leona Morgan, Individually for Disqualification of Atomic Safety and Licensing Board (Nov. 26, 2018) at 1-2.

2 Establishment of Atomic Safety and Licensing Board: Holtec International, 83 Fed. Reg.

55,578, 55,578-79 (Nov. 6, 2018).

Accordingly, the Board intends to issue an order providing further guidance concerning oral argument in this proceeding around the time it issues its decision in the New Mexico proceeding.

It is so ORDERED.
