MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE ADMINISTRATIVE RECORD ON CD-ROM AND TO WAIVE PAPER COPY Defendant, the United States, respectfully requests leave to file the administrative record utilizing a CD-Rom. This case is designated an electronic filing case pursuant to the Court's CM/ECF system. The administrative record in this case will exceed the 2MB size limitation applicable to electronic files and the 50 page limitation applicable to printed documents provided in RCFC General Order 42A I. ¶¶ 4, 5. Counsel for plaintiff and for defendant-intervenor have stated that their clients do not object to this motion. The administrative record consists of a large number of documents. These materials can most efficiently be delivered to the Court and to the parties on a CD-Rom. This method will provide efficient and easy access to the record because we can submit the record in searchable format. More important, filing by another medium provides the most efficient method for submission of the sealed version of the record. Pursuant to General Order 42A I. ¶ 7, the sealed administrative record may not be filed electronically unless authorized by the Court. The sealed

copy of the record is best secured by submission on CD-Rom. Based upon the portability and ease of manipulation of the documents on a CD-Rom, we also respectfully request that the Court waive the requirement in paragraph 5 of General Order 42A that an additional paper copy be supplied to the Court. For these reasons, defendant respectfully requests that this motion for leave to file on CD-Rom and to waive the additional paper copy be granted.
