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 for auc1aar power reactor operating licenses.

l 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-i ing and for the participation of the public in the public bearing.

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. e'J E t)'
