SECY-97-129 - Louisiana Enerciv Servj ces Petitions for Review of LBP-97-8 (May 1, 1997)
The Commission approved an order granting the petitions from 2
),
Louisiana Energy Services and the NRC staff for review of the Licensing Board's Decision (LBP-97-8).
j The Ccmmission has voted to approve the order because environmental justice is a relatively new legal concept that, as yet, has received little elaboration by the courts, by other agencies, or by the Commission itself.
The~ order also turns down, as outside NRC rules, Nuclear Energy Institute's (NEI) effort to file an amicus curiae brief in support of the petitions, but authorizes NEI to file an amicus brief on the merits should it choose to do so.
l The Commission requested that OCAA advise them on the petitions on waste disposal issues as soon as possible.
(Subsequently, on June 30, 1997 the Secretary signed the Order.)
Section 201 of the Energy Reorganization Act, 42 U.S.C.
Section S841, provides that action of the Commission shall be determined by a " majority vote of the members
-present."
Commissioner Dicus was not present when this item was affirmed.
Accordingly the formal vote of the Commission was 4-0 in favor of the decision.
Commissioner Dicus, however, had previously indicated f
that she would approve this paper and had she been present she would have affirmed her prior vote.
