DB1/ 72104874.1 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION BEFORE THE ATOMIC SAFETY AND LICENSING BOARD
)
In the Matter of )
) Docket No. 50-391-OL TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY )
) December 27, 2012 (Watts Bar Nuclear Plant Unit 2) )
) JOINT RESPONSE TO BOARD ORDER NOTIFYING PARTIES OF AMENDMENTS TO RULES OF PRACTICE On November 20, 2012, in response to th e Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC) recent amendments to its rules of practice and procedure for licensing proceedings in 10 C.F.R.
Part 2 (New Part 2 Rules), 1 the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board (Board) issued an Order instructing the Parties 2 to familiarize themselves with the New Part 2 Rules. Additionally, if changes are "necessary or appropriate to modify the Board's Scheduling Order "
3 in light of the New Part 2 Rules, the Board requested that the Parties submit a motion to that effect, preferably in the form of a joint motion. In response, the Parties jointly propose changes to the Board's Scheduling Order as identified in the table below. A redlined version of the May 26, 2010 Scheduling Order identifying the proposed changes is attached fo r the Board's convenience.
1 Amendments to Adjudicatory Process Rules and Related Requirements, 77 Fed. Reg. 46,562 (Aug. 3, 2012) (New Part 2 Rules).
2 The Parties are the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), NRC Staff, and Intervenors (Southern Alliance for Clean Energy (SACE)).
3 Licensing Board Scheduling Order (May 26, 2010) (unpublished).
DB1/ 72104874.1
- - 2 Scheduling Order Paragraph Proposed Change to Scheduling Order Reason for Proposed Change to Scheduling Order G.1 In the second sentence, delete "under 10 C.F.R. § 2.309(f)(2), or a motion for leave to file an untimely new or amended contention" and "(or both)." These changes are necessary to be consistent with the New Part 2 Rules regarding the timeliness of new or amended contentions. See New Part 2 Rules, 77 Fed. Reg. at 46,570 - 46,572, 46,582. G.1 Delete footnote 18. This footnote is no longer necessary given the New Part 2 Rules regarding
Sections 2.309(f)(2) and (c)(1).
Id. G.2 In the first sentence, change "10 C.F.R. § 2.309(f)(2)(iii)" to "10 C.F.R.
§ 2.309(c)(1)(iii)." This change is necessary to be consistent with the New Part 2 Rules regarding the timeliness of new or amended contentions.
Id. G.2 Delete the second and third sentences, which state: "If filed thereafter, the
motion and proposed contention shall be deemed nontimely under 10 C.F.R.
§ 2.309(c). If the movant is uncertain, it may file a motion pursuant to both sections, and the motion should cover
the three criteria of 10 C.F.R. §
2.309(f)(2) and the eigh t criteria of 10 C.F.R. § 2.309(c) (as well as the six
criteria of 10 C.F.R. § 2.309(f)(1))."
This change is necessary to be consistent with the New Part 2 Rules regarding the timeliness of new or amended contentions.
Id. H.3 Delete the first sentence and replace with: "A party seeking to file a reply to any answer must first obtain leave of the Board, except with respect to motions to file new or amended
contentions under 10 C.F.R. § 2.309."
Delete the reference in footnote 22 to
"10 C.F.R. § 2.309(h)(2)" and replace
with "10 C.F.R. § 2.309(i)(2)." These changes are necessary because the New Part 2 Rules state in accordance with 10 C.F.R. § 2.309(i)(2) that the participant filing the motion to file a new or amended contention has a right to reply to an answer to such a
motion, and 10 C.F.R. § 2.309(i)(3)
states, "No other written answers or
replies will be entertained."
Id. at 46,573, 46,592.
H.6 After the title of Section H.6, "Motion Certification," add a footnote with the following text: "The consultation and certification requirements in
paragraphs H.6 and H.7 do not apply This clarification is warranted because motion certification requirements are derived from 10 C.F.R. § 2.323, but new
§ 2.323(a)(1) provides that the requirements of § 2.323 do not apply to DB1/ 72104874.1
- - 3 Scheduling Order Paragraph Proposed Change to Scheduling Order Reason for Proposed Change to Scheduling Order to motions to file new or amended contentions.
See 10 C.F.R. § 2.323(a)(1)." motions to file new or amended contentions.
Id. at 46,574, 46,593. M Add a footnote following the last sentence, which states: "Proposed
findings of fact and conclusions of law must conform to the format requirements in § 2.712(c)." This change is necessary because the new 10 C.F.R. § 2.1209(c) incorporates the § 2.712(c) formatting requirements
for findings of fact and conclusions of
law. Id. at 46,585.
