)JOINT STIPULATION TO SUPPLEMENT THE RECORD Pursuant to Rule 16(b) of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure, Petitioner Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Respondents United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the United.States (collectively, the "NRC"), and Intervenors Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc., Entergy Nuclear Vermont Yankee LLC, and Entergy Nuclear Generation Company (collectively, "Entergy")
hereby jointly-stipulate-and agree-tothe-following:
.. ... .. ... ..... ...... .. .The NRC has compiled and certified an administrative index of record for consideration by this Court in each of these consolidated matters. The indexes as filed by the NRC reflect the agency's hearing docket, but do not include several relevant documents and reports. The ten documents listed herein comprise part of the agency record on appeal in these matters, except as limited by footnote 1.The documents fall into one of five categories:
(1) the rulemaking history of the NRC's environmental regulations in 10 C.F.R. Part 51; (2) the Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants; (3) the license renewal applications at issue in these two adjudicatory proceedings; (4) the Commonwealth's petition in a separate proceeding--
seeking to initiate a rulemaking--
still pending before the NRC; and (5) the NRC's Supplemental Environmental Impact Statements (SEISs) in the two license renewal proceedings.
These documents, although not entries on the hearing dockets for the two cases below, are properly considered part of the record on appeal to the extent that they were cited by the licensing boards and the Commission in their decisions.'
See Fed. R. App. P. 16(a)(2) (The record consists of findings or reports upon which the agency order is based). These documents and each document's Both SEISs were published by the NRC six months after CLI-07-03, the NRC adjudicatory decision before this Court in these consolidated lawsuits.
All parties agree-that eachl-fdcility" s SEIS' pr -of- the Ydi-d 6-f its-~artic-ular ongoing administrative license renewal proceeding at the NRC. However, because the SEISs post-date the NRC adjudicatory decision at issue, Entergy and the NRC do not agree that the SEIS is formally part of the record on appeal in this Court.Neither Entergy nor the NRC, however, objects to the Commonwealth's citation and discussion of the SEISs in footnote 13 of its brief.4-corresponding accession number for the NRC's computerized database--
