ORDER The Massachusetts. Attorney General (MassAG), by motion filed January 7 17, 1990,-has~ requested leave to file a brief in excess of seventy.pages relative:to his pending appeals from various Licensing? Board decisions.regarding the utility-sponsored i
I emergency plan for Massachusetts emergency planning zone communities and the June 1988 emergency planning exercise.
In h'is motion, the MassAG asks permission to file a brief of up to 125Epages.
At.our request, the applicants and the NRC staff have filed expedited responses to his petition.
Both assert that the p
l-motion-should be denied.
In support of its motion, tae MassAG states that, pursuant L
to our. December 15, 1989 directive,' the nine appealing l

Sge also order (Dec.18.,1989) at 1 (unpublished) (granting Town of Hampton motion for extension of time to file brief under same conditions specified in December 15 order).

intervenors have: consulted amon.J themselves and he is " confident" 3.
, that the; briefs being prepared will not, "for the most part,"
address the same issues.2 The MassAG also declares that'his i
r brief_will_ discuss at least nine matters not addressed in detail by;any-other party.
As a result, he asserts that if he is confined'by the seventy pages allotted by the Rules of Practice, he will have to " abandon-his appeal of certain significant issues or present severly(sic) truncated briefing on the issues in this l
proceeding."3 To avoid this' consequence, he requests an.
i extension of fifty-five pages.
l f
The MassAG's petition for review, like those of.the other
-intervenors, covers Licensing Board determinations of significant_
!'l
--length and complexity.
On the other hand, as both the applicants and the staff note, given.the number of separate appeals filed,
'intervenors have'vell in excess of five hundred pages within which;to address the Board's determinations.'
In the circumstances, and with the understanding that the intervenors
'are taking steps-to avoid, to the maximum extent possible, duplicative arguments, we conclude that an extension of thirty pages will amply provide for the MassAG's expressed concerns that 2
