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 for Intervenors beyond 10/21/22?

The applicant/NRC's delay may actually amount to a two week setback, and materially impact my preparation.

AccessionNumber=ML22210A0800 NRC staff apprised me on August 23, 2022 that the Responses were due on September 30, 2022.

I was told on October 5, 2022 that the documents would be publicly available within the next week It is October 11, 2022, and based on the NRCs timeline, the RAI réponses have been delayed by an additional two weeks.
