NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket Nos. STN 50-454 and STN 50-455]
Commonwealth Edison Company; Notice of Partial Denial of
Amendments to Facility Operating Licenses and Opportunity for Hearing
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has
partially denied a request by Commonwealth Edison Company (ComEd, the
licensee) for amendments to Facility Operating License Nos. NPF-37 and
NPF-66, issued to ComEd for operation of Byron Station, Unit Nos. 1 and
2, located in Ogle County, Illinois. Notice of Consideration of
Issuance of these amendments was published in the Federal Register on
April 22, 1998 (63 FR 19966).
[[Page 45289]]
The purpose of the licensee's amendment request was to delete
license conditions which have been satisfied, revise others to delete
parts which are no longer applicable or to revise references, and make
editorial changes.
The NRC staff has concluded that a portion of the request, related
to the proposed deletion of dates for approved security plans, can not
be granted. The basis for the denial is detailed in the Safety
Evaluation related to Amendment Nos. 110 and 110 dated August 10, 1999.
By September 20, 1999, the licensee may demand a hearing with
respect to the partial denial described above. Any person whose
interest may be affected by this proceeding may file a written petition
for leave to intervene.
A request for hearing or petition for leave to intervene must be
filed with the Secretary of the Commission, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001 Attention: Rulemakings and
Adjudications Staff, or may be delivered to the Commission's Public
Document Room, the Gelman Building, 2120 L Street, NW., Washington, DC,
by the above date.
A copy of any petitions should also be sent to the Office of the
General Counsel, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC
20555-0001, and to Ms. Pamela B. Stroebel, Senior Vice President and
General Counsel, Commonwealth Edison Company, P.O. Box 767, Chicago,
Illinois 60690-0767, attorney for the licensee.
For further details with respect to this action, see (1) the
application for amendments dated March 14, 1997, (2) Amendment Nos. 110
and 110 to Facility Operating License Nos. NPR-37 and NPR-66, and (3)

Assessment.
These 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 Byron Public Library District, 109 N. Franklin, P.O. Box 434,
