    The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has before it an

public

to request a hearing and petition to intervene.\2\ In addition, Ms. 
Hadden raised several concerns regarding the conduct of the NRC Staff's 
public meeting held in January 2023. Given the barriers to 
participation during the public meeting articulated by the requestor, I 
refer these concerns, as well as associated requests to extend the 
environmental scoping comment period, to the NRC Staff for its review 
and response, consistent with my earlier order in this matter.\3\

    \2\ Email from Karen Hadden to Hearing Docket, NRC (Jan. 30, 
2023).

2023) (unpublished) (referring similar concerns to the NRC Staff).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pursuant to the authority delegated to me by the Commission on 
February 3, 2023, I extend the deadline for all persons to file a 
hearing request until March 1, 2023. Petitions to intervene and 
requests for hearing should be filed consistent with the Supplementary 
Information section of the Hearing Notice.\4\
