NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
Docket Nos. 50-266 and 50-301
Wisconsin Electric Power Company; Notice of Withdrawal of
Application For Amendments to Facility Operating Licenses
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has granted
the request of Wisconsin Electric Power Company (WEPCO, the licensee)
to withdraw its October 23, 1995, application for proposed amendments
to Facility Operating Licenses Nos. DPR-24 and DPR-27 for the Point
Beach Nuclear Plant, Unit Nos. 1 and 2, located in Manitowoc County,
Wisconsin.
The proposed amendment would have revised the facility operating
licenses and technical specifications to change the company name from
Wisconsin Electric Power Company to Wisconsin Energy Company.
The Commission had previously issued a Notice of Consideration of
Issuance of Amendments published in the Federal Register on December
20, 1995 (60 FR 65687). However, by letter dated May 19, 1997, the
licensee informed the Commission that the Boards of Directors of
Northern States Power Company and WEPCO mutually agreed to terminate
their proposed merger, and WEPCO withdrew the proposed change.
For further details with respect to this action, see the
application for amendments dated October 23, 1995, and the licensee's
letter dated May 19, 1997, which withdrew the application for license
amendments. The above documents are available for public inspection at
the Commission's Public Document Room, the Gelman Building, 2120 L
Street, NW., Washington, DC, and at the local public document room
located at the Joseph P. Mann Library, 1516 Sixteenth Street, Two
River, Wisconsin.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 30th day of May 1997.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Linda L. Gundrum,
Project Manager, Project Directorate III-1, Division of Reactor
Projects--III/IV, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
