ORDER Docket No. 50-320-LA-2 Eric Epstein has requested a two-week extension to the October 21, 2022, deadline for filing a hearing request and petition for leave to intervene in the matter of a TMl-2 Solutions, LLC license amendment application. As the basis for the request, Mr. Epstein cited a delay in responses to requests for additional information being made publicly available in the NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS).1 Pursuant to my authority under 10 C.F.R. § 2.346(b) and after consideration of Mr. Epstein's request, I am granting Mr. Epstein a 14-day extension to the filing deadline in this matter. Accordingly, Mr. Epstein's hearing requests and petition to intervene in this matter will be deemed timely if filed on or before Friday, November 4, 2022.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 20th day of October 2022.

TMI2DecommissioningLARFederalRegisterNotice.8-22-2022.pdf Folks:

Based on this delay and regulatory impediment to the filing due on 10/21/22 - which is now one week behind schedule for the RAIs - will the NRC be extending the filing deadline forIntervenors beyond 10/21/22?

Theapplicant/NRC'sdelay may actuallyamount to a twoweek setback, and materially impactmy preparation.

Eric,

Amy Snyder asked me to relay to you that the attachments youre seeking associated with the Three Mile Island 2 decommissioning license amendment request are non-public because they contain safeguards information.
