UNITED STATES OF AMERICA NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION ATOMIC SAFETY AND LICENSING BOARD PANEL Before the Licensing Board:

Emily I. Krause, Chair Dr. Sue H. Abreu Dr. Michael F. Kennedy In the Matter of: Docket Nos. 50-250-SLR-2 50-251-SLR-2 FLORIDA POWER & LIGHT COMPANY ASLBP No. 24-981-01-SLR-BD01 (Turkey Point Nuclear Generating Units 3 and 4) December 19, 2023 MEMORANDUM AND ORDER (Granting Motion for Extension of Time)

On December 15, 2023, Miami Waterkeeper filed a motion seeking a ten-day extension, from Friday, December 29, 2023, to Monday, January 8, 2024, to reply to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Staffs and Florida Power & Light Companys (FPL) answers to its hearing request.1 FPL opposes Miami Waterkeepers motion.2 Miami Waterkeeper asserts, among other things, that the ten-day extension is warranted because its office will be closed from December 22 to 25, 2023, and again on January 1, 2024, and the majority of project staff will be unavailable until January 5, 2024. For good cause shown, we grant Miami Waterkeepers motion.3 Miami Waterkeepers reply is now due on or 1 See Motion for Extension of Time to File Reply Submitted by Miami Waterkeeper (Dec. 15, 2023) (Motion).

2 See Florida Power & Light Companys Answer Opposing Miami Waterkeepers Second Extension Request (Dec. 18, 2023). Miami Waterkeeper states that the Staff does not oppose the extension request. Motion at 2.

3 See 10 C.F.R. § 2.307(a).

before January 8, 2024. In granting this extension, however, we remind the petitioner that a reply should be narrowly focused on the legal or logical arguments presented in the

[answers].4 In our December 6, 2023 initial prehearing order, we stated we would await full briefing to determine whether to hold oral argument.5 We now advise the participants that the Boards law clerk will reach out in the near future to discuss availability for oral argument during the week of January 22, 2024.

It is so ORDERED.
