That petition has now been ruled on,
and the Commission’s rulemaking
decision is reflected in the discussion of
the scope of the hearing addressed in
Section III.D, above.7
Finally, the third issue Nevada raises
in its September 9 Petition concerns the
status of security clearances and access
to classified information in the Yucca
Mountain construction authorization
application. Nevada argues that its
representatives have not been informed
of decisions on their security clearances
and on access to classified information,
‘‘notwithstanding timely applications,’’
so no contentions based on classified
information can be prepared.8 To
remedy this, Nevada again asks for a
bifurcation of contention-filing
deadlines.
It is the Commission’s understanding
that, as of the end of July, one of
Nevada’s security clearance applications
was complete and was being processed,
another application was incomplete,
and two applications had been
withdrawn.9 From this, the Commission
concludes that the timeliness of
Nevada’s security clearance applications
is factually ambiguous. Moreover, it is
not immediately clear that the perceived
problem could not be remedied by the
provision of redacted versions of
classified documents that could provide
a basis for the formulation of
contentions before the security
clearance application reviews are
completed. The Commission directs the
PAPO Board to resolve both of these
questions.
It is so ordered.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 17th day
of October, 2008.
For the Commission.
Annette L. Vietti-Cook,
Secretary of the Commission.

renewal of the certificates of compliance
for the two GDPs located near Paducah,
