Dear Commissioner Prude,

I am the Licensing Boards principal law clerk assigned to this proceeding. I understand that, in connection with arranging with our administrative staff for the Boards use of the Midland County Courthouse, you have expressed an interest in speaking at the oral argument scheduled for July 10-11. In particular, I understand you have concerns about the potential adverse effects on oil production in the region in the event of an accident or terrorist attack at the proposed facility.

As indicated in the attached Board order of May 24, 2019, the July session in this adjudicatory proceeding will be limited to oral arguments concerning the standing and sufficiency of the hearing requests that were timely submitted by petitioners. Participation will be limited to counsel who have entered an appearance for either a petitioner, the applicant Interim Storage Partners LLC, or the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Staff.

This adjudicatory proceeding will not be an opportunity for anyone to offer oral limited appearance statements.

If you wish to submit a written statement, however, you may request it be received by the Board and placed in the docket in accordance with 10 C.F.R. § 2.315(a). Alternatively, an interested local governmental body may petition under 10 C.F.R. § 2.315(c) for a reasonable opportunity to participate in an evidentiary hearing that may be held at a later stage in this proceeding.

Thank you for your assistance. Because your expression of concerns arguably constitutes an ex parte communication, I am requesting that the Office of the Secretary file this response in the docket and serve all participants.

Very truly yours, Joe McManus Joseph D. McManus Law Clerk, ASLBP (301) 415-5356 joseph.mcmanus@nrc.gov
