THRUt D. L. Ziemann, Chief, ORB #2, DL l DRAFT NO. 2 0F FROPOSED FULL-TERM OPERATING LICENSE FOR HONTICE110 UNIT 1 (NSP) - DOCKET NO. 50-263_  ;

Enclosed for your_ review and approval _is tcy second draf t of the full-term operating license for Monticello Unit 1. This draft  :

includes toy changes based _on infortnation received from H. Crainey ,

and L Wilchins, and is it4 tended to supersede the draf t forwarded to you with my memorandum dated October 25, 1972. Note that the

• conditions for protection of the environment ha"e not been included inasmuch as I am not sure which, if any, of those conditions in item 7 of the Summary and Conclusions section of the Final Environ-montal Statement (Nov. 1972) are to be used or if other words are to be used.

The only urgency I see is *, hat it must be available to the public about 30 days prior to its planned issuance, and Vogel was promised a copy in a letter dated October 17, 1972.
