Pursuant to Circuit Rule 29(d), undersigned counsel for amicus curiae certifies that a separate brief is necessary because NRDC and the City of Fort Worth represent distinct interests with diverse knowledge bases.

The City of Fort Worth (City) is a home-rule municipality in the State of Texas. The City has an immediate interest in this litigation because it is concerned that spent nuclear fuel will be transported by rail through Fort Worth to be stored at Interim Storage Partners Consolidated Interim Storage Facility in Andrews County Page 2
