Notice of Filing Schedules and Oral Argument

    This proceeding involves the proposed increase in capacity (through 
the addition of high-density storage racks) of the spent fuel storage 
pool of the Millstone Nuclear Power Station, Unit No. 3, in New London 
County, Connecticut. The proceeding is

[[Page 6061]]

governed by the procedures of 10 CFR part 2, subpart K (10 CFR 2.1101-
2.1117).
    Notice is hereby given that the oral argument prescribed by 10 CFR 
part 2, subpart K, 2.1109 and 2.1113, will take place at the Best 
Western Sovereign Hotel, 9 Whitehall Avenue, Mystic, CT, on Tuesday, 
April 2, 2002, beginning at 9:30 a.m.
    Under 10 CFR 2.1113, by Monday, March 18, 2002 (15 days prior to 
the oral argument as set forth above), each party, including the NRC 
Staff, shall submit a detailed written summary of all the facts, data, 
and arguments which are known to the party at that time and on which 
the party proposes to rely at the oral argument either to support or 
refute the existence of a genuine and substantial dispute of fact. Each 
party shall also submit all supporting facts and data in the form of 
sworn written testimony or other sworn written submission.
    Each party's written summary and supporting information shall be 
simultaneously served on all other parties. In that connection, service 
of paper copies is currently required by the NRC rules (see 10 CFR 
2.708, 2.712), but the Licensing Board requests the parties 
additionally to provide electronic copies of their filings by e-mail, 
where feasible, on the same schedule set forth for paper filings.
    To complete service on members of the Licensing Board and other 
parties by e-mail transmission, a party should (a) send the filing 
(which should include the certificate of service) as a file attached to 
an e-mail message directed to each of the Licensing Board members 
(Internet addresses: [email protected]; [email protected]; and [email protected]), and 
(b) send paper conforming copies that same date by regular mail, with 
the copies to judges addressed to each Licensing Board member at: 
Atomic Safety and Licensing Board Panel, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 
Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001. For regular mail service to 
Board members, the NRC Staff may use the NRC internal mail system (Mail 
Stop T-3 F23) in lieu of first class mail.
    If a party has a pleading it wishes to send by e-mail that includes 
attachments it is unable to convert to electronic form, it should do 
one of the following: (a) If the attachments the party is unable to 
convert to electronic form are fifteen pages or less, contemporaneous 
with the transmission of the pleading by e-mail the attachments should 
be sent by a separate facsimile transmission. The e-mail and facsimile 
transmissions should note that separate transmission modes are being 
used. The paper conforming copies of the pleading and attachments 
should be sent to each of the Licensing Board members by regular mail 
at the address listed above; (b) If the attachments the party is unable 
to convert to electronic form are more than fifteen pages, the pleading 
should be sent by e-mail and the paper conforming copy of the pleading 
with the attachments should be sent to each of the Licensing Board 
members by express mail or other means that will ensure delivery on the 
next business day. The e-mail should note that there will be next-day 
service of the pleading with the attachments.
    Parties may also elect to complete their March 18, 2002, filing by 
hand delivery or facsimile transmission. To complete service on members 
of the Licensing Board by facsimile transmission, a party should (a) 
send one copy by rapifax to the attention of members of the Licensing 
Board at (301) 415-5599 (verification (301) 415-7550); and (b) that 
same date, send conforming copies to each of the Licensing Board 
members by regular mail, at the address listed above.
    As set forth in the February 9, 2000, Notice of Hearing for this 
proceeding, see 65 FR 7573 (Feb. 15, 2000), the Atomic Safety and 
Licensing Board, pursuant to 10 CFR 2.715(a), is authorized to 
entertain limited appearance statements from any person who is not a 
party to the proceeding, for the purpose of stating his or her views on 
the issues involved in this proceeding. Because oral limited appearance 
statements were heard on several occasions earlier in the proceeding, 
they will not be entertained at this session of the hearing. Written 
statements may be submitted at any time during the proceeding to the 
Office of the Secretary, Rulemaking and Adjudications Staff, U.S. 
Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555. A copy of such 
statement should also be served on the Chairman of this Atomic Safety 
and Licensing Board, T-3 F23, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, 
Washington, DC 20555, or [email protected]. Although these statements are 
not testimony or evidence and do not become part of the decisional 
record, they may assist the Licensing Board and/or the parties in their 
consideration of matters at issue in this proceeding.
    Documents related to this proceeding, issued prior to December 1, 
1999, are available in microfiche form (with print form available on 
one-day recall) for public inspection at the Commission's Public 
Document Room (PDR), Room O-1 F21, NRC One White Flint North, 11555 
Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland 20852-2738. Documents issued after

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 4th day of February, 2002.
    For the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board.
Charles Bechhoefer,
Chairman, Administrative Judge.
