E6-14936. Firstenergy Nuclear Operating Company and Firstenergy Nuclear Generation Corp.; Notice of Withdrawal of Application for Amendment to Facility Operating License

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the Commission) has granted the request of FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company and FirstEnergy Nuclear Generation Corp. (the licensee) to withdraw its July 27, 2005, application for proposed amendment to Facility Operating License No. NPF-3 for the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station, Unit 1, located in Ottawa County.

The proposed amendment would have revised Technical Specification (TS) 3/4.8.1.1, “A.C. Sources—Operating,” to adopt a more recent standard for diesel fuel oil testing, and allow TS Surveillance Requirements (SRs) 4.8.1.1.2.d.1 and 4.8.1.1.2.d.3 to be performed on-line.

The Commission had previously issued a Notice of Consideration of Issuance of Amendment published in the Federal Register on September 27, 2005 (70 FR 56501). However, by letter dated August 9, 2006, the licensee withdrew the proposed change.

For further details with respect to this action, see the application for amendment dated July 27, 2005, and the licensee's letters dated May 30 and August 9, 2006, which withdrew the application for license amendment. Documents may be examined, and/or copied for a fee, at the NRC's Public Document Room (PDR), located at One White Flint North, Public File Area O1 F21, 11555 Rockville Pike (first floor), Rockville, Maryland. Publicly available records will be accessible electronically from the Agencywide Documents Access and Management Systems (ADAMS) Public Electronic Reading Room on the internet at the NRC Web site, http://www.nrc.gov/​reading-rm.html.
