detail to the Forest Service's preliminary condition;

adequate protection and utilization of the reservation;
    (3) An explanation of how the alternative, as compared to the 
preliminary condition, will:

other documented information relied on to support your proposal, 
including any assumptions you are making (e.g., regarding the cost of 
energy or the rate of inflation). If any such document is not already in 
the license proceeding record, you must provide a copy with the 
proposal.
