x UNOPPOSED MOTION BY THE STATE OF NEW YORK FOR AN EIGHT-DAY EXTENSION OF THE JUNE 1, 2015 FILING DEADLINE Office of the Attorney General for the State of New York The Capitol State Street Albany, New York 12224

The State of New York respectfully requests, pursuant to 10 C.F.R. § 2.307, an eight-day extension of the time to file updated statements of position, supporting testimony and exhibits, as authorized by the Atomic Safety and Licensing Boards December 9, 2014 Revised Scheduling Order 1, from Monday, June 1, 2015 to Tuesday, June 9, 2015. The State has consulted with counsel for Entergy, NRC Staff, Riverkeeper and Clearwater. Entergy, NRC Staff, and Clearwater do not oppose this request. Riverkeeper supports and joins in the motion.

Good cause supports this request. The State intends to file updated testimony, exhibits and statements of position and has been diligently working towards that goal. As part of that effort, the State has been working with its experts, Dr. Richard Lahey and Dr. David Duquette, to update their testimony to address the various developments in this proceeding since 2012, including, but not limited to, NRC Staffs issuance of its November 2014 Supplemental Safety Evaluation Report and extensive correspondence between Entergy and NRC Staff regarding a variety of aging management issues related to license renewal. However, the States progress has been hampered by the limited availability of its experts due to previously-scheduled foreign travel and significant out-of-state commitments during the month of May. The State therefore seeks a modest eight-day extension of time to file its papers. Entergy and NRC Staff do not oppose the extension so long as the deadlines for subsequent filings associated with the petitioners pre-filed submissions are shifted in a similar manner. (Thus, for example, Entergys revised pre-filed testimony would be due 60 days after June 9.) The brief extension requested by the State - and the corresponding shifting of subsequent deadlines - will not delay or impact the evidentiary hearing scheduled to start on November 16.

In addition, under the Boards July 1, 2010 Scheduling Order, the States motion seeking an extension of time must be filed no later than May 27, 2015. 2 This motion is therefore timely.

Accordingly, the State requests that the Board grant its motion.
