Dear Mr. Dsugan:
{
This is in reply to your letter of May 14, 19 69, requesting i
certain iniormstion.
}
l The Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, requires tha t the Comunission hold a public hearing on each application for a nuclear power reactor construction permit. Fursuant to that l
requirement a public hearing on the applica tion by the Northers i
States Power Company for a construction permit for the Monticelle Nuclear Cteerating plant was held by an atomic safety and licens-ing board in Buf falo, Minnesota, on May 25-26, 19 67. The Act does not, however, require such a public bearing on applications l
for auc1aar power reactor operating licenses.
I i
Af ter the Casaission's regulatory staff and the Advisory Cammittee on Reactor safeguards have completed their reviews of as applica-j tion to operate a nuclear power reacter and it is determined that i
the reactor can be operated without endangering the public beelth j
and safety, the Comunission publishes a antice in the Federal Resister of its inteet to issue an operating license to the applicant. The notice provides that unless a request for a j
public hearing is received within 30 days of the publication i
of the notice, the operating license will be issued, the notice also specifies the procedures for requesting such a public hear-ing and for the participation of the public in the public bearing.
i I an enclosing for your information a copy of such a notice which j
was recently issued by the Comunission.
With respect to the Monticello nuclear Generating Plant, Northera j.
States Feuer Campany's applicaties for sa operating license is l
presently under review by the Commission's regula tory staff and the Advisory Committee on Reactor gefeguards. I am not able at this time to estimate when that review will be completed er when a notice of the Commiission's intent to issue as operatias license will be issued.
