Dear ASLB:Entergy has requested various license amendments for Indian Point 2's license, whichexpired in September 2013 and Indian Point 3 license which expires on December 31,2015.We, the undersigned Stakeholders, residents of the Indian Point Reactor CommunityreSiding within 50 miles of Indian Point, are exercising our fights to intervene and requesta change of venue for all hearings on any proposed license amendments to the expiredIndian Point 2 license, to be held in White Plains, New York, not Washington, DC.Currently three proposed license amendments are .already being considered by the ASLB,to:* Defer inspections of the reactor vessel head for 10 years due to lackof necessary "coupons" to test embrittlement;* Ignore problems with control rods, known to be misaligned,until March 2016;* Defer frequency of inspections of steam generator tubes.These amendments of an expired license are procedurally defective and violate theAdministrative Procedures Act. These amendments, and any other proposed amendments,significantly change the already expired operating license, reduce safety margins,endanger public health and safety. These amendments appear to be unreasonable andirrational, and are without procedural standing.Therefore, we the undersigned community Stakeholders are intervening and requestingpublic hearings in White Plains, NY, where Entergy maintains its corporate offices. Thisvenue change should extend to any and all other proposed license amendments of theexpired Indian Point 2 operating license, and the Indian Point 3 operating license, whichwill expire in six months, on December 31, 2015. For the NRC to provide a phone linefor the public to listen in, falls to satisfy the requirement for public participation,therefore public hearings in White Plains, NY must be provided.*Sineerely/(~Susan IH.,Sb'apii o, \s~C-On Behaf."of: (/Indian Point Safe Energy Coalition ("IPSEC")RiverkeeperHudson River Sloop ClearwaterSierra Club, Lower Hudson GroupRockland Sierra ClubNuclear Information and Resource Service ("NIRS")NYC Safe Energy CampaignEco-Logic,WBAI-FM New York Environmental Law and Justice ProjectNational Lawyers Guild Environmental Justice CommitteeStop the Algonquin Pipeline Expansion (SAPE)Shut Down Indian Point NowCode Pink NYC.Connie Hogarth Center for Social ActionOccupy Bergen CountyWestchester SAFEEllen Jaffee, New York State Assem~blywoman ADMaryknoll Sisters of St. DominicSister Antoinette Gutzler, MMvDorice Madronero Suffern, NY 10901Gary Shaw Croton on Hudson, NY 10520Jeanne D Shaw Croton on Hudson, NY 10520Catherine Skopic New York, N.Y 10013Barbara Kidney Pine Bush NY 12566Andrew Dalton Pine Bush, NY 12566Michele McCarthy Upper Nyack, NY 10960Gerald McCarthy Upper Nyack, NY 10960cc: Senator Kirsten GillibrandSenator Charles SchumerSenator Congresswoman Nita LoweyCongressman Eliot EngelGovernor Andrew CuomoJohn Sipos, NYS Assistant Attorney GeneralJeanne Cho, Assistant General CounselEntergy Operations, Inc.440 Hamilton Ave.White Plains, NY 10601NRC Commissioners:Chairman Stephen G.
