The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has granted the request of Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (the licensee) to withdraw its September 7, 2000, application for proposed amendment to Facility Operating License No. DPR-64 for the Indian Point Nuclear Generating Unit No. 3, located in Westchester County, New York.

The proposed amendment would have modified the Technical Specifications to extend the surveillance frequency from 720 hours to 1440 hours for the Fuel Storage Building Emergency Ventilation system.
