. On February 18-19, 1979, however, the Washington, Dl C. area was hit by a record snowfall which essentially strangled transportation in the Washington, D. C. area through February 20, 1979. All Federal offices in the area were closed for February 20, 1979, and a limited reopening of Federal offices in the area was decreed for February 21, 1979.
Because of this event, the NRC Staff was unable to complete its appeal brief until February 22, 1979.
Accordingly, for the reasons stated, the NRC Staff believes good cause exists to support acceptance of its brief on appeal two days late.
Respectfully submitted,
