UNOPPOSED MOTION OF THE TOWN OF CORTLANDT, VILLAGE OF BUCHANAN, AND HENDRICK HUDSON SCHOOL DISTRICT FOR AN ENLARGEMENT OF TIME TO FILE ITS REPLY Pursuant to 10 C.F.R. § 2.307, Petitioners the Town of Cortlandt, Village of Buchanan, and Hendrick Hudson School District (the Petitioners) move the Commission for a brief enlargement of time to reply to the answer filed in the above-captioned proceeding, from March 16, 2020 to and including March 23, 2020. Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc.; Entergy Nuclear Indian Point 2, LLC; Entergy Nuclear Indian Point 3, LLC; Holtec International; and Holtec Decommissioning International, LLC (collectively, the Applicants) do not oppose the Petitioners request. In support of this motion, the Petitioners offer the following:

1. This matter concerns an application to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission by the Applicants for permission to transfer the licenses for the Indian Point Nuclear Generating Station (Indian Point) and the Indian Point Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation. On February 12, 2020, the Petitioners submitted a petition to intervene in the license transfer proceedings under 10

C.F.R. § 2.309 and requested a hearing thereon (the Petition). On March 9, 2020, the Applicants filed a lengthy answer responding to the Petition. Petitioners reply is currently due to be filed on March 16, 2020.

2. The prompt, safe, and environmentally sound decontamination and restoration of Indian Point is a matter of great importance to Petitioners, which represent the communities that have housed the Indian Point Nuclear Generating Station for decades. Although Petitioners have devoted and will continue to devote significant resources to this matter, undersigned counsels other professional obligations, including a pending state court matter for which briefing coincides with briefing in the instant license transfer proceeding, limit the time available to research and respond to the issues raised in the Applicants extensive answer. Further, counsels briefing in this matter is subject to review by senior employees of the Town of Cortlandt, Village of Buchanan, and Hendrick Hudson School District. Additional time is therefore necessary to ensure adequate time for internal review and comment.
3. As required by 10 C.F.R. § 2.323(b), Petitioners consulted with counsel for the Applicants Paul Bessette on March 11, 2020. Mr. Bessette courteously indicated that the Applicants do not oppose Petitioners request for an enlargement of time to file its reply.

For the foregoing reasons, and upon good cause shown, Petitioners that the Commission grant this motion for an enlargement of time and modify the deadline by which the Petitioners must file its reply in this proceeding from March 16, 2020 to and including March 23, 2020.
