The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has granted the request of Nuclear Management Company, LLC (the licensee) to withdraw the June 7, 1999, as supplemented February 4, and September 26, 2000, application for proposed amendment to Facility Operating License No. DPR-43 for the Kewaunee Nuclear Power Plant, located in Kewaunee County, Wisconsin. .

The proposed amendment would have revised the Kewaunee Nuclear Power Plant Technical Specifications for the facility's reactor pressure vessel Pressure-Temperature limit curves.

The Commission had previously issued a Notice of Consideration of Issuance of Amendment published in the Federal Register on November 15, 2000 (65 FR 69061).

The exemption requests are being processed separately.

For further details with respect to this action, see the application for amendment dated June 7, 1999, as supplemented February 4, and September 26, 2000, and the licensee's letter dated December 18, 2000, which withdrew the application for license amendment.
