ORDER On June 28, 1974, the Department of Justice (Depar tment) and the Regulatory Staff filed a Motion for Reconsideration, requesting this Board to reconsider its Order of June 21, 1974, which directed the Department and the Staf f to submit a memoran-O dum under oath explaining how certain agreed upon license con-ditions would satisfy the antitrust issues raised in this pro-ceeding and how the public interest would be served by incorporation of such conditions into the applicant, Georgia Power Company's, license for the Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant, Unit No. 2.

In their Motion for Reconsideration, the parties in-dicate that the action directed by the Board is not required by the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, or by the Commis-sion's Rules of Practice.

Thus, the Staff and the Department argue that since all intervenors have withdrawn their requests for a hearing, the Department has withdravr its recommendations for a hearing, and the Staff has indicate.* t13re is no further O

requirement for a hearing, the proceeding is analogous to an

operating license proceeding, wherein no adjudicatory proceed-ings are required where there is no request for a hearing made.

The Staff and the Department cite a number of Commission prece-dents in support of their position.

Finally, the parties indicate that the action requested by the Board may indicate a misconstruction on the part of the Board of the Motion to l

Withdraw Interventions and Joint Motion to Dismiss and Terminate this Proceeding which was filed by all parties on June 3, 1974, l

l wherein the Board was requested to terminate the proceeding on the basis of license conditions agreed upon by all parties.

The Departmant and the Staff point out that the parties do not seek Board approval of the license conditions.

Upon consideration of the Motion for Reconsideration filed by the Staff and the Department, and the authorities cited therein, the Board has decided to grant the same.
