USCA Case #21-1048 Document #1955415 Filed: 07/18/2022 Page 2 of 3 CORRECTED JULY 18, 2022 July 13, 2022 Mark Langer, Clerk U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit 333 Constitution Avenue N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20001 Re: FRAP 28(j) Notice of Supplemental Authority, Dont Waste Michigan
- v. U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Comm., No. 21-1048 (Consolidated)
Dear Mr. Langer:
On behalf of Petitioner Beyond Nuclear, Inc., we write to advise this court of the Supreme Courts June 30th decision in West Virginia v. EPA, 2022 WL 2347278 (2022) (attached). That decision demonstrates the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) lacks statutory authority to issue the Interim Storage Partners, LLC (ISP) license.
West Virginia supports Petitioners contention that NRC violated the constitutional separation of powers doctrine by considering and issuing a license in violation of the Nuclear Waste Policy Act (Act). See Petitioners Corrected Opening Brief at 21-22. As the Court held, [a]gencies have only those powers given to them by Congress, and enabling legislation is generally not an open book to which the agency [may] add pages and change the plot line. West Virginia, 2022 WL 2347278, at *19 (internal quotations and citations omitted). Here, Congress did not give NRC authority to issue a license whose plain terms violate the Act.
As in West Virginia, this case raises matters of economic and political significance, id. at *17, for which courts must presume that Congress intends to make major policy decisions itself, not leave those decisions to agencies. Id. at
- 19. See Nuclear Energy Institute Amicus Brief 8-9 (describing the significant costs of the spent fuel quagmire); Natural Resources Defense Council Amicus Brief 5-18 (describing Congress consistent refusal to abandon the Nuclear Waste Policy Acts cardinal requirement that a repository must be open before private reactor licensees may transfer ownership of spent fuel to the federal government).
Congress has conspicuously and repeatedly declined to allow the action now taken by NRC in licensing ISP to store spent fuel owned by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). See West Virginia, 2022 WL 2347278, at *13.
USCA Case #21-1048 Document #1955415 Filed: 07/18/2022 Page 3 of 3 Mark Langer, Clerk, U.S. Court of Appeals July 13, 2022 Page 2 of 2 West Virginia mandates that for a major question, such as licensing a private company to store DOE waste, NRC must point to clear congressional authorization for the power it claims. See Id. at *19. But NRC has failed to do so, and thus a decision of such magnitude and consequence rests with Congress itself. 2022 WL 2347278, at *31.
Sincerely,
/s/Diane Curran Diane Curran
