No. The requirements for an admissible contention are unchanged. However, in a significant change from the previous rules of practice, the requirement to proffer specific, adequately supported contentions in order to be admitted as a party is extended to informal proceedings under Subpart L. In addition, proposed contentions must be filed as part of the petition to intervene.
