(b) Developing a record to assist the Commission in resolving, under §2.335(d), a petition filed under §2.335(b).
If the Commission appoints a presiding officer to conduct the legislative hearing, the presiding officer shall be responsible for expeditious development of a sufficient record on the Commission-identified issues, consistent with the direction provided by the Commission under §2.1502(c). The presiding officer has the authority otherwise accorded to it under §§2.319(a), (c), (e), (g), (h), and (i), 2.324, and 2.333 to control the course of the proceeding, and may exercise any other authority granted to it by the Commission in accordance with §2.1502(c)(6).
(a) Any person or entity who wishes to participate in a legislative hearing noticed under either §2.1502(b)(1) or (b)(2) shall submit a request to participate by the date specified in the notice. The request must address:
(b) The Commission or presiding officer shall, within ten (10) days of the date specified for submission of requests to participate, determine whether the person or entity has met the criteria specified by the Commission under §2.1502(c)(4) for determining requests to participate in the legislative hearing, and issue an order to that person or entity informing them of the presiding officer's decision. A presiding officer's determinations in this regard are final and not subject to any motion for reconsideration or appeal to the Commission; and the Commission's determination in this regard are final and are not subject to a motion for reconsideration.
The NRC staff shall be available to answer any Commission or presiding officer's questions on staff-prepared documents, provide additional information or documentation that may be available to the staff, and provide other assistance that the Commission or presiding officer may request without requiring the NRC staff to assume the role of an advocate. The NRC staff may request to participate in the legislative hearing by providing notice to the Commission or presiding officer, as applicable, within the time period established for submitting a request to participate; or if no notice is provided under §2.1502(b)(2), within ten (10) days of the Commission's order announcing its determination to conduct a legislative hearing.
All participants shall file written statements on the Commission-identified issues, and may submit documentary and demonstrative information. Written statements, copies of documentary information, and a list and short description of any demonstrative information to be submitted must be received by the NRC (and in a hearing on issues stemming from a §2.335(b) petition, by the parties in the proceeding in which the petition was filed) no later than ten (10) days before the commencement of the oral hearing.
(a) If the Commission is not acting as a presiding officer, the presiding officer shall, within thirty (30) days following the close of the legislative hearing record, certify the record to the Commission on each of the issues identified by the Commission.
(b) The presiding officer's certification for each Commission-identified issue shall contain:
(1) A transcript of the oral phase of the legislative hearing;
(2) A list of all participants;
(3) A list of all witnesses at the oral hearing, and their affiliation with a participant;
(4) A list, and copies of, all documentary information submitted by the participants with ADAMS accession numbers;
(5) All demonstrative information submitted by the participants;
(6) Any written answers submitted by the NRC staff in response to questions posed by the presiding officer with ADAMS accession numbers;
(7) A certification that all documentary information has been entered into ADAMS, and have been placed on the NRC Web site unless otherwise protected from public disclosure;
(8) A certification by the presiding officer that the record contains sufficient information for the Commission to make a reasoned determination on the Commission-identified issue; and
(9) At the option of the presiding officer, a summary of the information in the record and a proposed resolution of the Commission-identified issue with a supporting basis.
Section 2.347 applies in a legislative hearing. Section 2.348 applies in a legislative hearing only where the hearing addresses an issue certified to the Commission under §2.335(d), and then only with respect to the underlying contested matter.
