SUBJECT:	STAFF REQUIREMENTS - AFFIRMATION SESSION, 12:55 P.M., TUESDAY, JUNE 17, 2008, COMMISSIONERS' CONFERENCE ROOM, ONE WHITE FLINT NORTH, ROCKVILLE, MARYLAND (OPEN TO PUBLIC ATTENDANCE)

I.	SECY-08-0065 – U.S. DOE (HLW Repository: Pre-Application Matters), Docket No. PAPO-00 – The State of Nevada's Notice of Appeal From The PAPO Board's January 4, 2008 and December 12, 2007 Orders and The State Of Nevada's Motion to File a Limited Reply

The Commission approved a Memorandum and Order responding to (1) an appeal by the State of Nevada of the PAPO Board's denial of Nevada's motion to strike the Department of Energy's (DOE) initial Licensing Support Network (LSN) certification, and (2) a motion by the State of Nevada to file a reply brief in connection with this appeal. The Memorandum and Order affirms the PAPO Board's decision (LBP-08-01) denying Nevada's motion to strike DOE's initial LSN certification and denying Nevada's motion to file a limited reply brief.

Commissioner Jaczko offered additional views on this order.

The Memorandum and Order denies the motion.

(Subsequently, on June 17, 2008, the Secretary signed the Memorandum and Order.)
