agency thereof that requests to participate under 10 CFR 2.315c, must be filed in accordance with 10 CFR
2.302. The E-Filing process requires participants to submit and serve all adjudicatory documents over the internet, or in some cases, to mail copies on electronic storage media, unless an exemption permitting an alternative filing method, as discussed below, is granted. Detailed guidance on electronic submissions is located in the Guidance for Electronic Submissions to the NRC
ADAMS Accession No. ML13031A056
and on the NRC website at https
www.nrc.gov/site-help/esubmittals.html.
To comply with the procedural requirements of E-Filing, at least 10
days prior to the filing deadline, the participant should contact the Office of the Secretary by email at hearing.docket@nrc.gov, or by telephone at 3014151677, to 1 request a digital identification ID certificate, which allows the participant or its counsel or representative to digitally sign submissions and access the E-Filing system for any proceeding in which it is participating; and 2 advise the Secretary that the participant will be submitting a petition or other adjudicatory document even in instances in which the participant, or its counsel or representative, already holds an NRC-issued digital ID certificate.
Based upon this information, the Secretary will establish an electronic docket for the proceeding if the Secretary has not already established an electronic docket.
Information about applying for a digital ID certificate is available on the NRCs public website at https
www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals/
getting-started.html. After a digital ID
certificate is obtained and a docket created, the participant must submit adjudicatory documents in Portable Document Format. Guidance on submissions is available on the NRCs public website at https www.nrc.gov/
site-help/electronic-sub-ref-mat.html. A
filing is considered complete at the time the document is submitted through the NRCs E-Filing system. To be timely, an electronic filing must be submitted to the E-Filing system no later than 11:59
p.m. ET on the due date. Upon receipt of a transmission, the E-Filing system timestamps the document and sends the submitter an email confirming receipt of the document. The E-Filing system also distributes an email that provides access to the document to the NRCs Office of the General Counsel and any others who have advised the Office of the Secretary that they wish to participate in the proceeding, so that the filer need not

serve the document on those participants separately. Therefore, applicants and other participants or their counsel or representative must apply for and receive a digital ID
certificate before adjudicatory documents are filed to obtain access to the documents via the E-Filing system.
A person filing electronically using the NRCs adjudicatory E-Filing system may seek assistance by contacting the NRCs Electronic Filing Help Desk through the Contact Us link located on the NRCs public website at https
www.nrc.gov/site-help/esubmittals.html, by email to MSHD.Resource@nrc.gov, or by a tollfree call at 18666727640. The NRC
Electronic Filing Help Desk is available between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m., ET, Monday through Friday, excluding government holidays.
Participants who believe that they have good cause for not submitting documents electronically must file an exemption request, in accordance with 10 CFR 2.302g, with their initial paper filing stating why there is good cause for not filing electronically and requesting authorization to continue to submit documents in paper format. Such filings must be submitted in accordance with 10 CFR 2.302bd. Participants filing adjudicatory documents in this manner are responsible for serving their documents on all other participants.
Participants granted an exemption under 10 CFR 2.302g2 must still meet the electronic formatting requirement in 10 CFR 2.302g1, unless the participant also seeks and is granted an exemption from 10 CFR 2.302g1.
Documents submitted in adjudicatory proceedings will appear in the NRCs electronic hearing docket, which is publicly available at https
adams.nrc.gov/ehd, unless excluded pursuant to an order of the presiding officer. If you do not have an NRCissued digital ID certificate as described above, click cancel when the link requests certificates and you will be automatically directed to the NRCs electronic hearing dockets where you will be able to access any publicly available documents in a particular hearing docket. Participants are requested not to include personal privacy information such as social security numbers, home addresses, or personal phone numbers in their filings unless an NRC regulation or other law requires submission of such information. With respect to copyrighted works, except for limited excerpts that serve the purpose of the adjudicatory filings and would constitute a Fair Use application, participants should not include
