I additional time requested is r.ecessary in order to allow counsel sufficient time to assemble and become familiar with the record of the case and to prepare an appellate brief. In addition, this task was unanticipated, and must be added to coun$ci's already-scheduled workload, Counst has carendly considered the amount oftime needed to complete the appeal, and believes that the rim extra working days requested are nec:ssary, rather than the six extra working days proposed by the NRC Staff.

The granting of the additional time requested will not cause any prejudicial delay m the implementation of the LTP, because the LTP has already been approved by the NRC Stafunder the NRC's No Significant Huards provisions. Su 63 Fed. Reg. 4,307, 4,328 Danuary 28,1998).
