regarding the renewal of operating licenses DPR-65 and NPF-49 for the
Millstone Power Station (MPS) Units 2 and 3, for an additional 20 years

Branch, Division of Administrative Services, Office of Administration,
Mailstop T-6D59, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC

provide comments on the draft report. Additionally, the NRC staff will
host informal discussions one hour prior to the start of each session
