RULE 26.1 DISCLOSURE STATEMENT

NOTICE OF INTENT TO FILE AN AMICUS CURIAE BRIEF

Pursuant to Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 29( b) the City of Fort Worth

hereby notifies this Court of the intent to file an amicus curiae brief in the above

captioned matter in support of Petitioners.

The undersigned counsel for amicus curiae City of Fort Worth hereby

represents that all parties in the above -referenced case consent to their participation

as amicus curiae in support of Petitioners.

Pursuant to Circuit Rule 29(d), undersigned counsel for amicus curiae certifies

that a separate brief is necessary because NRDC and the City of Fort Worth represent

distinct interests with diverse knowledge bases. Whereas the City of Fort Worth is a

local government concerned with the local impacts of an interim nuclear waste

facility, NRDC is a nationwide environmental organization with expertise of the

history of U.S. nuclear waste policy.

The City of Fort Worth (City) is a home -rule municipality in the State of

Texas. The City has an immediate interest in this litigation because it is concerned

that spent nuclear fuel will be transported by rail through Fort Worth to be stored at

Interim Storage Partners Consolidated Interim Storage Facility in Andrews County
