The time for answers and replies to the petition for review, which shall include any answers to Connecticuts amicus curiae brief that Entergy and/or the Staff may deem appropriate, will run from the date of the Board ruling.4 In the event that New York seeks to amend or withdraw its petition as a consequence of the Boards ruling, it shall file a motion with the Commission within five business days of issuance of the Boards decision. Such a motion may include a request for additional time to file a revised petition for review.

Along with its motion concerning Contention 12C, Entergy filed on behalf of all parties a joint motion to enlarge the page limits and the time for responding to the petitions for review filed by the parties. The time for the parties to file answers and replies, and the applicable page limits, are enlarged as follows:
