UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA CIRCUIT
2 Petitioners seek review of the foregoing agency actions on the grounds that the NRC abused its discretion, acted arbitrarily and capriciously, in excess of statutory jurisdiction, and in violation of the Nuclear Waste Policy Act (NWPA),
U.S.C. §§ 10222(a)(5)(A) and 10143, the Atomic Energy Act (AEA), 42 U.S.C.
§§ 2011 et seq., the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), 5 U.S.C. §§ 706, the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), 42 U.S.C. §§ 4321 et seq., and/or NRCs own regulations and policies when it denied Petitioners a meaningful opportunity to participate in the process.
Specifically, Petitioners contend that the Secretarys Order violated the NWPA and the APA by refusing to dismiss an administrative proceeding that contemplated issuance of a license permitting federal ownership of used reactor fuel at a commercial fuel storage facility and disregarding the unambiguous provisions of the NWPA. Petitioners also contend that the NRC violated the NWPA and the APA in CLI-20-14 by ruling that the application under review in the proceeding was lawful and by refusing to grant Petitioners a hearing on the question of whether the NRC is prohibited by the APA from issuing a license that contains provisions that would violate the NWPA if implemented.
Additionally, Petitioners seek review of CLI-20-14 on the grounds that the NRC wrongfully applied the NWPA, AEA, APA, NEPA and/or its own regulations when it ruled that Petitioners contentions relating to inaccurate, insufficient and USCA Case #21-1179 Document #1911677 Filed: 08/20/2021 Page 2 of 7 (Page 2 of Total)


FASKEN LAND AND MINERALS, LTD. and PERMIAN BASIN LAND AND ROYALTY OWNERS,
3 inconsistent characterizations of oil and gas wells, subsurface stability, and geologic and hydrologic features in the vicinity of the proposed location for the commercial fuel storage facility were inadmissible. Petitioners further seek review of CLI-20-14 and CLI-21-09 based on NRCs improper finding that Petitioners contentions relating to deficient assessments of credible fire and explosion impacts, the presence of threatened and endangered species, and the heightened risks and cumulative adverse impacts associated with multiple rounds of transportation of spent nuclear fuel to and from the facility were inadmissible.
Petitioners respectfully request that this Court review, reverse and vacate CLI-20-14 and CLI-21-09; alternatively, and/or cumulatively, order the dismissal of the license application under review; and grant any other additional remedies that may be warranted by law and equity.
Venue is proper in this Court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2343.

_________________________________________ )
ORDER On July 16, 2018, the NRC provided notice in the Federal Register of Holtec Internationals application to construct and operate a consolidated interim storage facility for spent nuclear fuel.1 Separately, on August 29, 2018, the NRC provided notice in the Federal Register of Interim Storage Partners application to construct and operate a consolidated interim storage facility for spent nuclear fuel.2 On September 14, 2018, Beyond Nuclear, Fasken Land and Minerals, and Permian Basin Land and Royalty Owners filed motions to dismiss both the Holtec and Interim Storage Partners applications.3 These groups argue that the NRC cannot, as a threshold matter, issue 1 Holtec International HI-STORE Consolidated Interim Storage Facility for Interim Storage of Spent Nuclear Fuel, 83 Fed. Reg. 32,919 (July 16, 2018).
2 Interim Storage Partners Waste Control Specialists Consolidated Interim Storage Facility, 83 Fed. Reg. 44,070 (Aug. 29, 2018), corrected, 83 Fed. Reg. 44,608 (Aug. 31, 2018) (noting that the correct deadline to file intervention petitions is October 29, 2018). Interim Storage Partners is a joint venture of Orano USA and Waste Control Specialists.
3 Beyond Nuclear filed its own motion to dismiss. Beyond Nuclear, Inc.s Motion to Dismiss Licensing Proceedings for Hi-Store Consolidated Interim Storage Facility and WCS Consolidated Interim Storage Facility for Violation of the Nuclear Waste Policy Act (Sept. 14, USCA Case #21-1179 Document #1911677 Filed: 08/20/2021 Page 2 of 57 (Page 9 of Total) licenses to Holtec or Interim Storage Partners because both applications are contrary to the Nuclear Waste Policy Act (NWPA). Specifically, the groups argue that both applications contemplate the storage of Department of Energy-titled spent fuel in violation of various NWPA provisions.
The NRCs regulations allow interested persons to file petitions to intervene and requests for hearing in which they can raise concerns regarding a particular license application.
These regulations do not, however, provide for the filing of threshold motions to dismiss a license application; instead, interested persons must file petitions to intervene and be granted a hearing. I therefore deny both motions to dismiss on procedural grounds, without prejudice to the underlying merits of the legal arguments embedded within the motions.
Beyond Nuclear also filed hearing petitions in the Holtec and Interim Storage Partners proceedings that incorporated by reference the NWPA arguments that it raised in its motion to dismiss and identified those arguments as proposed contentions.4 I am separately referring these hearing requestsas well as other hearing requests challenging the applicationsto the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board Panel (ASLBP) for the establishment of a Board to consider all hearing requests in accordance with the hearing procedures set forth in 10 C.F.R. §2.309.
And, in accordance with 10 C.F.R. § 2.346(i), I am referring the motion from Fasken Land and 2018) (ADAMS Accession No. ML18257A318). Fasken Land and Minerals joined with Permian Basin Land and Royalty Owners to file a motion to dismiss that is substantially similar to Beyond Nuclears motion. Motion of Fasken Land and Minerals and Permian Basin Land and Royalty Owners to Dismiss Licensing Proceedings for Hi-Store Consolidated Interim Storage Facility and WCS Consolidated Interim Storage Facility (Sept. 14, 2018) (ML18257A330). Both the NRC Staff and respective applicants filed oppositions to the motions, and Beyond Nuclear, Fasken Land and Minerals, and Permian Basin Land and Royalty Owners then filed replies.
4 Beyond Nuclear, Inc.s Hearing Request and Petition to Intervene (Sept. 14, 2018)
(ML18257A324) (Holtec docket); Beyond Nuclear, Inc.s Hearing Request and Petition to Intervene (Oct. 3, 2018) (ML18276A242) (Interim Storage Partners docket). Fasken Land and Minerals and Permian Basin Land and Royalty Owners have not filed related hearing petitions in either docket.

1 UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA CIRCUIT FASKEN LAND AND MINERALS, LTD. and PERMIAN BASIN LAND AND ROYALTY OWNERS, Petitioners,

v.

UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION and the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Respondents.

Case No. _____________

PETITION FOR REVIEW Pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 2239, 28 U.S.C. § 2344, 5 U.S.C. § 702, 42 U.S.C. § 10139, Fed. R. App. P. 15(a), and D.C. Cir. Rule 15(a), Petitioners Fasken Land and Minerals, Ltd. and Permian Basin Land and Royalty Owners (Fasken or Petitioners), through undersigned counsel, hereby petition for review of the following orders by the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the NRC):

Order of NRC Secretary (unpublished) issued on October 29, 2018 (Secretarys Order) (attached hereto as Exhibit A);

NRC Memorandum and Order CLI-20-14 issued on December 17, 2020 (CLI-20-14) (attached hereto as Exhibit B); and NRC Memorandum and Order CLI-21-09 issued on June 22, 2021 (CLI 09) (attached hereto as Exhibit C).

21-1179 USCA Case #21-1179 Document #1911677 Filed: 08/20/2021 Page 1 of 7 (Page 1 of Total)

2 Petitioners seek review of the foregoing agency actions on the grounds that the NRC abused its discretion, acted arbitrarily and capriciously, in excess of statutory jurisdiction, and in violation of the Nuclear Waste Policy Act (NWPA),

U.S.C. §§ 10222(a)(5)(A) and 10143, the Atomic Energy Act (AEA), 42 U.S.C.

§§ 2011 et seq., the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), 5 U.S.C. §§ 706, the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), 42 U.S.C. §§ 4321 et seq., and/or NRCs own regulations and policies when it denied Petitioners a meaningful opportunity to participate in the process.

Specifically, Petitioners contend that the Secretarys Order violated the NWPA and the APA by refusing to dismiss an administrative proceeding that contemplated issuance of a license permitting federal ownership of used reactor fuel at a commercial fuel storage facility and disregarding the unambiguous provisions of the NWPA. Petitioners also contend that the NRC violated the NWPA and the APA in CLI-20-14 by ruling that the application under review in the proceeding was lawful and by refusing to grant Petitioners a hearing on the question of whether the NRC is prohibited by the APA from issuing a license that contains provisions that would violate the NWPA if implemented.

Additionally, Petitioners seek review of CLI-20-14 on the grounds that the NRC wrongfully applied the NWPA, AEA, APA, NEPA and/or its own regulations when it ruled that Petitioners contentions relating to inaccurate, insufficient and USCA Case #21-1179 Document #1911677 Filed: 08/20/2021 Page 2 of 7 (Page 2 of Total)

3 inconsistent characterizations of oil and gas wells, subsurface stability, and geologic and hydrologic features in the vicinity of the proposed location for the commercial fuel storage facility were inadmissible. Petitioners further seek review of CLI-20-14 and CLI-21-09 based on NRCs improper finding that Petitioners contentions relating to deficient assessments of credible fire and explosion impacts, the presence of threatened and endangered species, and the heightened risks and cumulative adverse impacts associated with multiple rounds of transportation of spent nuclear fuel to and from the facility were inadmissible.

Petitioners respectfully request that this Court review, reverse and vacate CLI-20-14 and CLI-21-09; alternatively, and/or cumulatively, order the dismissal of the license application under review; and grant any other additional remedies that may be warranted by law and equity.

Venue is proper in this Court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2343.

Dated: August 20, 2021.

_________________________________________ )

ORDER On July 16, 2018, the NRC provided notice in the Federal Register of Holtec Internationals application to construct and operate a consolidated interim storage facility for spent nuclear fuel.1 Separately, on August 29, 2018, the NRC provided notice in the Federal Register of Interim Storage Partners application to construct and operate a consolidated interim storage facility for spent nuclear fuel.2 On September 14, 2018, Beyond Nuclear, Fasken Land and Minerals, and Permian Basin Land and Royalty Owners filed motions to dismiss both the Holtec and Interim Storage Partners applications.3 These groups argue that the NRC cannot, as a threshold matter, issue 1 Holtec International HI-STORE Consolidated Interim Storage Facility for Interim Storage of Spent Nuclear Fuel, 83 Fed. Reg. 32,919 (July 16, 2018).

2 Interim Storage Partners Waste Control Specialists Consolidated Interim Storage Facility, 83 Fed. Reg. 44,070 (Aug. 29, 2018), corrected, 83 Fed. Reg. 44,608 (Aug. 31, 2018) (noting that the correct deadline to file intervention petitions is October 29, 2018). Interim Storage Partners is a joint venture of Orano USA and Waste Control Specialists.

3 Beyond Nuclear filed its own motion to dismiss. Beyond Nuclear, Inc.s Motion to Dismiss Licensing Proceedings for Hi-Store Consolidated Interim Storage Facility and WCS Consolidated Interim Storage Facility for Violation of the Nuclear Waste Policy Act (Sept. 14, USCA Case #21-1179 Document #1911677 Filed: 08/20/2021 Page 2 of 57 (Page 9 of Total) licenses to Holtec or Interim Storage Partners because both applications are contrary to the Nuclear Waste Policy Act (NWPA). Specifically, the groups argue that both applications contemplate the storage of Department of Energy-titled spent fuel in violation of various NWPA provisions.

The NRCs regulations allow interested persons to file petitions to intervene and requests for hearing in which they can raise concerns regarding a particular license application.

These regulations do not, however, provide for the filing of threshold motions to dismiss a license application; instead, interested persons must file petitions to intervene and be granted a hearing. I therefore deny both motions to dismiss on procedural grounds, without prejudice to the underlying merits of the legal arguments embedded within the motions.

Beyond Nuclear also filed hearing petitions in the Holtec and Interim Storage Partners proceedings that incorporated by reference the NWPA arguments that it raised in its motion to dismiss and identified those arguments as proposed contentions.4 I am separately referring these hearing requestsas well as other hearing requests challenging the applicationsto the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board Panel (ASLBP) for the establishment of a Board to consider all hearing requests in accordance with the hearing procedures set forth in 10 C.F.R. §2.309.

And, in accordance with 10 C.F.R. § 2.346(i), I am referring the motion from Fasken Land and 2018) (ADAMS Accession No. ML18257A318). Fasken Land and Minerals joined with Permian Basin Land and Royalty Owners to file a motion to dismiss that is substantially similar to Beyond Nuclears motion. Motion of Fasken Land and Minerals and Permian Basin Land and Royalty Owners to Dismiss Licensing Proceedings for Hi-Store Consolidated Interim Storage Facility and WCS Consolidated Interim Storage Facility (Sept. 14, 2018) (ML18257A330). Both the NRC Staff and respective applicants filed oppositions to the motions, and Beyond Nuclear, Fasken Land and Minerals, and Permian Basin Land and Royalty Owners then filed replies.

4 Beyond Nuclear, Inc.s Hearing Request and Petition to Intervene (Sept. 14, 2018)

(ML18257A324) (Holtec docket); Beyond Nuclear, Inc.s Hearing Request and Petition to Intervene (Oct. 3, 2018) (ML18276A242) (Interim Storage Partners docket). Fasken Land and Minerals and Permian Basin Land and Royalty Owners have not filed related hearing petitions in either docket.
