USCA Case #20-1187 Document #2002241 Filed: 06/05/2023 Page 1 of 6 ORAL ARGUMENT NOT YET SCHEDULED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA CIRCUIT BEYOND NUCLEAR, INC., et al.,
Petitioners, No. 20-1187,
- v. consolidated with Nos. 20-1225, 21-1104, 21-1147 UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION and the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Respondents.
JOINT MOTION TO GOVERN FUTURE PROCEEDINGS The Parties1 in these consolidated cases jointly submit the following proposal for the scheduling and format of briefing to govern future proceedings.
A. Deferred Joint Appendix Consistent with Fed. R. App. P. 30 and D.C. Cir. Rule 30, the Parties agree and jointly request leave to file and utilize a deferred joint appendix for briefing.
1 The Parties are: Petitioner Beyond Nuclear, Inc.; Petitioners Dont Waste Michigan, et al. (Dont Waste Michigan, Citizens Environmental Coalition, Citizens for Alternatives to Chemical Contamination, Nuclear Energy Information Service, San Luis Obispo Mothers for Peace, and Nuclear Issues Study Group);
Petitioner Sierra Club; Petitioners Fasken Land and Minerals, Ltd. and Permian Basin Land and Royalty Owners (Fasken) (collectively Petitioners);
Respondent-Intervenor Holtec International Inc. (Holtec); and Respondents United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the United States of America.
USCA Case #20-1187 Document #2002241 Filed: 06/05/2023 Page 2 of 6 B. Briefing Schedule The Parties propose the following briefing schedule in these consolidated cases.
Petitioners Certificates as to Parties, Rulings, and Related Cases; Docketing Statements; Statements of Issues to be Raised; and Underlying Decision from July 14, 2023 Which Petitions Arise Amended Certified Index to the Record2 August 1, 2023 Petitioners Opening Brief(s) September 1, 2023 Respondents Brief November 10, 2023 Respondent-Intervenors Brief December 1, 2023 Petitioners Reply Brief(s) December 22, 2023 Deferred Appendix January 15, 2024 Final Briefs January 23, 2024 C. Length and Format of Briefs The Parties jointly submit the following proposal for the length and format of briefing in these consolidated cases, which is the same as ordered by this Court in a previous consolidated case involving nearly identical parties, some of whom raise 2
Respondent Nuclear Regulatory Commission filed the certified index to the record in Case Nos. 20-1187 and 20-1225, prior to consolidation with Case Nos.
21-1104 and 21-1147. The Commission intends to file a single amended index for the consolidated cases.

USCA Case #20-1187 Document #2002241 Filed: 06/05/2023 Page 3 of 6 similar issues, Dont Waste Michigan, No. 21-1048, ECF No. 1921742 (Briefing Order (Nov. 10, 2021)).
Petitioners Opening Brief(s) shall be limited to 20,000 words in the aggregate, to be divided among no more than three briefs;3 Respondents Brief shall be limited to 20,000 words; Respondent-Intervenors Brief shall be limited to 9,100 words;4 and Petitioners Reply Brief(s) shall be limited to 10,000 words in the aggregate, to be divided among no more than three briefs.
The Parties submit that, at its discretion, the Court may use the words limits set in Dont Waste Michigan in these consolidated cases.
Dated: June 5, 2023 3
Petitioners anticipate filing three separate briefs and will divide the aggregate word limit among themselves (that is, Petitioners word limit will be split among four separate parties). Respondents intend to file a single joint brief responding to Petitioners initial briefs.
4 Notwithstanding the 9,100-word limit in the Dont Waste Michigan briefing order (set without objection by the intervenor in that case), Respondent-Intervenor in this case believes that a modest increase to 12,000 words would be appropriate for the same reasons that support the increases in Respondents and Petitioners word limits. In any event, Intervenor relies upon the discretion of the Court.
