!J0fE FOR MR. PRICE The following chronology relates to the request for Division of Conpliance Inspection Reports in the !.bnticello case:

I I (1) On April 7,1970, at the prehearing conference in Duffalo, Minnesota, i the Chairman of the Atomic Safety and I,1 censing Ibard, on behalf of the trenbers of the Ibard, requested that the IEC regulatory staff rnke available for inspection several of the reports prepared by the Division of Corpliance.

! She Board succested that it would subsequent 3y identify the reports as those for particular inspection dhtes listed in Appendix A to Supp]ecent No.1 of the AEC Regulatory Staff's Safety Evaluation. Staff Counsel infonred the Ibard in effect that such reports were considered internal and initially exenpt from disclosure. The Ibard suggcuted the possibility that such Division of Conp11ance Inspection Reports tracht be trade availabic to the Ibatti and sone or all of the parties "in cacra." After scoc discussion among the Board and parties it was agreed that Staff Counsel wou)d consult with regulatory staff managenent as to the various alternstives which might suggest themselves with respect to acco:rmodating the Ibard's interest $n these reports.

-(2) On approxinntely April 16, I telephoned Chainran Deale and indicated to him that the AEC regulatory staff was prepared to pmsent te the Ibard at the hearing a detailed sumary of several inspection reports if the Doard would identify the specific inspection dates listed in Appendix A which were of interest to them. I also reaffirmed to the Cnainian that ue-would, of course, have available at the hearing, Division of Compliance inspectoris who participated in the inspections of intemst for such examination as the Ibard and parties desired to conduct. Mr. Daale indicated this approach was satisfactory to him and that he would consult with the Board merbers to detennina which dates would be of interest.

(3) On approxirrately April 17 Chainaan D2 ale telep.loned and indicated that the procedum we had discussed the previous day was acceptable to al]

nembers of the Board. He then identified for me three sets of inspection dates in which the Bonixl was interested, lie also infont.ed ice that he would confina this conversation in a romal Ibard Order. Da April 21, the Board issued a Notice of Board Interect in Certain Inspections by Division of Co:rpliance. In that Notice the Ibard confined that it vould be interested in coverage in staff testimony of inspections trade on l February 8-10, 1968; May 27-29, 1969; and on March 2-3 and 12 13, 1970.

(11) In a Ictter dated April 21, 1970, attomeys for lECCA ivauested Mr. D2 ale to issue a subpoena directed to the AEC requesting that the AEC a pmduce the original inspection doculents of the construction and quality .

assurance of the Monticello plant. The attached fonn of subpoena was to I be directed to W. B. McCool, Secretary of the Conmission.

-l (5) _ On April 211, Mr. Deale telephoned me and informed rne that he intended

• to issue a subpoena along the lines requested but tiet he intended to direct the subpoena to the Director of Regulation or his designee as

. opposed to Mr. McCool.

(6) Mr. Stanley Robinson of the Office of the Secretary infonned me late in the afternoon of April 211 that he had received the subpoena from

,, Mr. Daale's office and that he was serving the cubpoena on Mr. Price that i afternoon by Registered Ihil., -

It should be noted that on April 20,1970,'in a.3etter addzecsed to Mr. Daale, other intervenors in this proceeding, namely George B. Burnett, III, Kenneth Dzugan, and Sheodore Pepin (copy attached) requested that the ,

s Chainnan of the Ibard nake available at the hearing, by subpoena if '

necessary, certain Northern St,ates Power Co:npeny records and "all- AEC onsite Inspection Reports." 'In lay telephone discussion with Mr. D3 ale on April 21,1 he infoned me that he did not intend to issue a subpoena on behalf of these intervenors because the request was too vague and incomplete.
