AAMODT FDTION 'IO FILE BRIEF OUT OF TIME

'Ihe Appeal Board ordered that parties brief exceptions to the Atosic Safety and Licensing Board's August 27, 1981 and July 27, 1982 Partial Initial Decisions by service on Septenber 30, 1982. 'Ihe Aanodts were not able, due to unexpected circu:nstances, to file their brief until October 2,1982.

Our situation was, at the time the parties were discussing the deadline for briefs, that we did not have time until 'after the end of October to devote to our brief. We did not consider notioning for such a lengthy extension, because we did not believe that there was any chance that it would be granted. We decided, instead, to alter our own schedules to provide time to meet tdiatever deadline the Appeal Board set.

We adjusted our schedules to prepare our brief, ver howe \

two unanticipated

\

. cirettstances interfered. One was the use of an area which we.normally used for our intervention being needed by others. 'Ihis demand was unexpected, however it

/

1 Our ration of Septeter 6 in response to 'IMIA's notio of bpte:beri,5982 bentioned Septecher 30 because 'IMIA's representative louise Bradford told us that she wanted an extension until that date. We did not intend to influence the Appeal Board in any choice of date in their response to 'IMIA's notions.

, 2-caused us to work "af ter hours" and longer hours. We considered asking for -

an extension on Wnday, Septenber 27, however I was not well that day and'we ,

sirply did not know how to estimate what time we would need. I was able to work on Wednesday and Brusday and anticipated cocpleting the brief on Thrusday evening in time' to post it at an "around-the-clock" post office in Lancaster on that day.

Final preparations carried past midnight, and the sudden death of a neighbor the following day, not only delayed co:petbr of preparations for mailing but distracted my attention from notifying the Appeal Board. On Saturday, October 2,1 was able to ca:plete the brief and to make arrangenents for hand-delivery in Washington. The first move was tc notify the Appeal Board on Penday, October 4 and to check with our carrier. We understand that delivery was made to NRC offices and other parties in Washington, D. C, by 10 a. m. on October 4, 1982.

We notion that our brief be accepted for the follw ing reasons: We worked as diligently as possible to meet the Appeal Board's deadline. We did int anti-cipate on the days inmediately proceeding the deadline that we would not make the deadline. We were unexpected 1.v distracted the day following the deaali, e. Their was

no' delay to any party in receipt of the documnt over the five days allowed for service. 3 NRC practice and procedure does not consider a two or three day delay in service of a brief over a weekend substantial nonconpliance if there are satisfactory reasons for failure to submit a untion for an extension of time.

NUREG-0386, 5.2(1), page 65. 'The NRC practice indicates that the filino; . ast be acco:panied by a motion for leave to file out of time. We attded such an evlenation to our brief.
