UNITED STATES OFFICE OF SECRETARY NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION RULEMAKINGS AND ADJUDICATIONS STAFF ATOMIC SAFETY AND LICENSING BOARD


x In re: Docket Nos. 50-247-LR; 50-286-LR License Renewal Application Submitted by ASLBP No. 07-858-03-LR-BDOI Entergy Nuclear Indian Point 2, LLC, DPR-26, DPR-64 Entergy Nuclear Indian Point 3, LLC, and Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. April 28, 2011


x STATE OF NEW YORK ANSWER TO NRC STAFF'S UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME The State of New York files this answer to NRC Staff s April 27, 2011 motion for an extension of time to respond to the State's April 22, 2011 motion to compel production of various documents. As noted in Staff's 10 C.F.R. § 2.323 certification, the State does not oppose Staff's request for additional time.

However, Staff's motion goes beyond the request for time and contains substantive statements concerning the merits of the parties' dispute. In light of those statements, the State submits this brief answer to yesterday's motion in an attempt to clarify for Staff and the Board the focus of the State's motion.

Staff uses its Unopposed Request for an Extension of Time to Respond to the State of New York's Motion to Compel the Production of Documents as an opportunity to initiate its defense of its document production regarding the FSEIS and SAMA related issues. Staff's central theme is that all possible Sandia documents have been identified on the Deliberative Process Privilege ("DPP") logs and, in the unlikely event any new ones emerge after further

inquiry at Sandia, those will be disclosed, although not necessarily produced.

Staff's position and .its proposal to make further inquiries to Sandia, as expressed in its April 27 motion, may misapprehend the State's concern. The FSEIS uses these words and phrases to describe Sandia's work: "reviewed," "comparison," "considered,. "cost comparison,"

"assessed," "performed two analyses," "performed an independent assessment," "performed a separate population projection." See State of New York Motion to Compel NRC Staff To Produce Documents Relied upon in Staffs Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (4/22/11) at pp. 12-14. The handful of Sandia-authored documents disclosed on the DPP log, a total of 9, were all described as containing a "discussion," an "internal discussion" or providing "Comments Regarding the EIS" indicating Sandia internal comments or discussion of drafts prepared by NRC Staff. See DPP-10-001, 004, 006, 007, 011,012, DPP-18-005, 006, DPP 045 (listed in Attachment 6 to the Declaration of Janice Dean in support of the State's Motion to Compel). None of those Staff DPP log entries reflected or even suggested that they Were documents that constituted a review, a comparison, an assessment, or the performance of analyses, independent assessments or a separate population projection. Those "discussion" and "comment" documents that were listed in Staff's DPP logs apparently consisted of Sandia's suggestions to NRC Staff about the draft text or phraseology of draft versions of the FSEIS; such editorial suggestions are not the subject of the State's motion. Rather, the State seeks documents reflecting Sandia's (and ISLI's) "review[]," "comparison," " consider[ation]," "cost comparison,"

"assess[ment]," "perform[ance of ] two analyses," "perform[ance of] an independent assessment," "perform[ance of] a separate population projection."

If, as Staff appears to argue, Staff's DPP logs are intended to cite to Sandia's substantive 2

analysis (i.e., "review[]," "comparison," "consider[ation]," "cost comparison," "assess[ment],"

"perform[ance of] two analyses," "perform[ance of] an independent assessment," "perform[ance of] a separate population projection") as opposed to mere FSEIS wordsmithing, then (1) Staff's identification of documents listed in the DPP logs is not accurate, and (2) such factual and analytical documents would not be entitled to be withheld under the deliberative process privilege and new logs must be promptly produced so the State can request, for the reasons discussed in the State's Motion to Compel, that the assertion of privilege be removed from such documents..

In any event, by disclosing Sandia's opinions in the FSEIS, Staff has opened the door to the actual production of those Sandia opinions and all underlying documentation, as discussed in the State's Motion to Compel.
