-----------------------------------------------------------x In re: Docket Nos. 50-247-LR; 50-286-LR License Renewal Application Submitted by ASLBP No. 07-858-03-LR-BD01 Entergy Nuclear Indian Point 2, LLC, DPR-26, DPR-64 Entergy Nuclear Indian Point 3, LLC, and Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. May 22, 2013 | |||
-----------------------------------------------------------x STATE OF NEW YORK ANSWER TO ENTERGYS MOTION FOR LEAVE TO SUPPLEMENT ITS MOTION FOR DECLARATORY ORDER On May 21, 2013, Entergy filed a Motion for Leave to Supplement its Motion for Declaratory Order that it Has Already Obtained the Required New York State Coastal Management Program Consistency Review of Indian Point Unit 2 and 3 for Renewal of the Operating Licenses. Entergy requests leave to supplement its Motion for Declaratory Order with four additional exhibits that it says shed additional light on previous state consistency reviews performed by different agencies in different contexts at Indian Point over the years. Entergy makes its motion pursuant to 10 C.F.R. § 2.323. Entergy Motion at 1. | |||
ENTERGYS MOTION IS UNTIMELY Pursuant to 10 C.F.R. § 2.323(a) motions are required to be filed no later than ten (10) days after the occurrence or circumstance from which the motion arises. Entergys motion fails to meet this requirement, and indeed Entergy offers no justification at all for its untimeliness. | |||
Entergy submits here four documents in support of its Motion for Declaratory Order, which is already fully briefed: a declaration by a former Department of Public Service employee | |||
testifying to his recollection of events in 2001, and New York Power Authority (NYPA) documents culled from a NYPA Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) response, including an email chain from 1999, testimony from a hearing in 1999, and a letter dated February 2, 2000. | |||
Entergys motion acknowledges that it obtained these documents from NYPA on February 27, 2013 - 83 days before it filed this motion, 40 days before Entergy requested leave to file a reply to the State and Riverkeepers responses to Entergys motion (which notably did not make any reference to Entergy having received FOIL responses that it might seek to use in this proceeding), and 67 days before Entergy submitted its reply. Entergy also did not make reference to reviewing these documents while requesting - on more than one occasion - more time to submit its reply. See Entergys Unopposed Motion For Extension of Time to Answer New Yorks Cross-Motion for Declaratory Order and Motions for Leave to File Limited Replies in Support of Entergys Motion for Declaratory Order (Apr. 9, 2013); Entergys Motion For Extension Of Time To File Combined Answer And Replies (Apr. 17, 2013). At no time while requesting the right to submit a reply or at any other time did Entergy represent to the Board or parties that it was parsing through Freedom of Information Law responses, and that it could require additional time to complete briefing on this issue. Indeed, Entergy waited until August 27, 2012 - nearly a month after Entergy submitted its Motion for Declaratory Order to the Board | |||
- to even submit a Freedom of Information Law request to NYPA. See Letter, Matthew Leland, Counsel for Entergy, to New York Power Authority FOIL Officer (Aug. 27, 2012), attached hereto as Attachment 1. Entergys statement that [n]one of the documents Entergy proposes as exhibits were available when Entergy filed its Motion with the Board on July 30, 2012 (Entergy Motion at 2) is inaccurate and disingenuous - the documents were always available pursuant to the Freedom of Information Law, but Entergy did not submit a request for them until after it filed 2 | |||
its motion. That Entergy chose to file an inadequately researched motion in 2012, before even reviewing all available documentation, does not countenance violation of the NRCs motion practice regulations and the expenditure of additional resources by the Board and parties now. | |||
During consultation, Entergys counsel had no response to the States concerns about timeliness other than to assert that the 10-day rule somehow did not apply. Surprisingly, Staff counsel also stated it was not aware of a 10-day requirement, inquiring of State counsel whether this requirement was found in a scheduling order, and if so, where it could be found. As the Board is aware, Staff counsel itself opposed a State submission in this proceeding on timeliness grounds only last year. See NRC Staffs Answer to State of New Yorks and Riverkeepers Response and Cross-Motion To NRC Staffs Motion for Partial Reconsideration of The Boards March 16, 2012 Order (Apr. 12, 2012) at 9 (Pursuant to 10 C.F.R. § 2.323(a) motions are required to be filed no later than ten (10) days after the occurrence or circumstance from which the motion arises.). | |||
Even assuming the Board forgives Entergys belated decision to ascertain the basis for its motion by seeking information from State agencies upon whose actions it relies to absolve it of a legal obligation under federal law, the latest possible occurrence or circumstance from which the motion arises would be February 27, 2013, the date on which Entergy took possession of the documents it now seeks to introduce. At no time during the last 83 days did Entergy ask for additional time to consider information from its belated FOIL request to NYPA1, even while seeking leave to file, and preparing, its May 6, 2013 reply. | |||
1 Entergy and its counsel are very familiar with New Yorks Freedom of Information Law, Public Officers Law Article 87. Since 2011, on Entergys behalf, various counsel have submitted at least 9 FOIL requests regarding Indian Point to executive agencies, including the New York Departments of State and Environmental Conservation. See, e.g. Entergy Nuclear 3 | |||
CONCLUSION For the foregoing reasons, Entergys Motion for Leave should be denied as untimely. | |||
However, should Entergys motion be granted and its Motion for Declaratory Order modified, the State respectfully requests thirty days to respond to Entergys supplemental declaration and exhibits. | |||
Respectfully submitted, s/ | |||

UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION ATOMIC SAFETY AND LICENSING BOARD

x STATE OF NEW YORK ANSWER TO ENTERGYS MOTION FOR LEAVE TO SUPPLEMENT ITS MOTION FOR DECLARATORY ORDER On May 21, 2013, Entergy filed a Motion for Leave to Supplement its Motion for Declaratory Order that it Has Already Obtained the Required New York State Coastal Management Program Consistency Review of Indian Point Unit 2 and 3 for Renewal of the Operating Licenses. Entergy requests leave to supplement its Motion for Declaratory Order with four additional exhibits that it says shed additional light on previous state consistency reviews performed by different agencies in different contexts at Indian Point over the years. Entergy makes its motion pursuant to 10 C.F.R. § 2.323. Entergy Motion at 1.
ENTERGYS MOTION IS UNTIMELY Pursuant to 10 C.F.R. § 2.323(a) motions are required to be filed no later than ten (10) days after the occurrence or circumstance from which the motion arises. Entergys motion fails to meet this requirement, and indeed Entergy offers no justification at all for its untimeliness.
Entergy submits here four documents in support of its Motion for Declaratory Order, which is already fully briefed: a declaration by a former Department of Public Service employee
testifying to his recollection of events in 2001, and New York Power Authority (NYPA) documents culled from a NYPA Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) response, including an email chain from 1999, testimony from a hearing in 1999, and a letter dated February 2, 2000.
Entergys motion acknowledges that it obtained these documents from NYPA on February 27, 2013 - 83 days before it filed this motion, 40 days before Entergy requested leave to file a reply to the State and Riverkeepers responses to Entergys motion (which notably did not make any reference to Entergy having received FOIL responses that it might seek to use in this proceeding), and 67 days before Entergy submitted its reply. Entergy also did not make reference to reviewing these documents while requesting - on more than one occasion - more time to submit its reply. See Entergys Unopposed Motion For Extension of Time to Answer New Yorks Cross-Motion for Declaratory Order and Motions for Leave to File Limited Replies in Support of Entergys Motion for Declaratory Order (Apr. 9, 2013); Entergys Motion For Extension Of Time To File Combined Answer And Replies (Apr. 17, 2013). At no time while requesting the right to submit a reply or at any other time did Entergy represent to the Board or parties that it was parsing through Freedom of Information Law responses, and that it could require additional time to complete briefing on this issue. Indeed, Entergy waited until August 27, 2012 - nearly a month after Entergy submitted its Motion for Declaratory Order to the Board
- to even submit a Freedom of Information Law request to NYPA. See Letter, Matthew Leland, Counsel for Entergy, to New York Power Authority FOIL Officer (Aug. 27, 2012), attached hereto as Attachment 1. Entergys statement that [n]one of the documents Entergy proposes as exhibits were available when Entergy filed its Motion with the Board on July 30, 2012 (Entergy Motion at 2) is inaccurate and disingenuous - the documents were always available pursuant to the Freedom of Information Law, but Entergy did not submit a request for them until after it filed 2
its motion. That Entergy chose to file an inadequately researched motion in 2012, before even reviewing all available documentation, does not countenance violation of the NRCs motion practice regulations and the expenditure of additional resources by the Board and parties now.
During consultation, Entergys counsel had no response to the States concerns about timeliness other than to assert that the 10-day rule somehow did not apply. Surprisingly, Staff counsel also stated it was not aware of a 10-day requirement, inquiring of State counsel whether this requirement was found in a scheduling order, and if so, where it could be found. As the Board is aware, Staff counsel itself opposed a State submission in this proceeding on timeliness grounds only last year. See NRC Staffs Answer to State of New Yorks and Riverkeepers Response and Cross-Motion To NRC Staffs Motion for Partial Reconsideration of The Boards March 16, 2012 Order (Apr. 12, 2012) at 9 (Pursuant to 10 C.F.R. § 2.323(a) motions are required to be filed no later than ten (10) days after the occurrence or circumstance from which the motion arises.).
Even assuming the Board forgives Entergys belated decision to ascertain the basis for its motion by seeking information from State agencies upon whose actions it relies to absolve it of a legal obligation under federal law, the latest possible occurrence or circumstance from which the motion arises would be February 27, 2013, the date on which Entergy took possession of the documents it now seeks to introduce. At no time during the last 83 days did Entergy ask for additional time to consider information from its belated FOIL request to NYPA1, even while seeking leave to file, and preparing, its May 6, 2013 reply.
1 Entergy and its counsel are very familiar with New Yorks Freedom of Information Law, Public Officers Law Article 87. Since 2011, on Entergys behalf, various counsel have submitted at least 9 FOIL requests regarding Indian Point to executive agencies, including the New York Departments of State and Environmental Conservation. See, e.g. Entergy Nuclear 3
CONCLUSION For the foregoing reasons, Entergys Motion for Leave should be denied as untimely.
However, should Entergys motion be granted and its Motion for Declaratory Order modified, the State respectfully requests thirty days to respond to Entergys supplemental declaration and exhibits.
