NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket No. 50-220]


Niagara Mohawk Power Corp.; Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station Unit 
No. 1; Notice of Partial Withdrawal of Application for Amendment to 
Facility Operating License

    The United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) 
has granted the request by the Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation (NMPC) 
to withdraw a portion of their July 21, 1994, application, for a 
proposed amendment to Facility Operating License DPR-63 for the Nine 
Mile Point Nuclear Station Unit No. 1, located in Oswego County, New 
York.
    The proposed amendment would have revised Technical Specifications 
(TSs) 2.1.2 (Fuel Cladding Integrity), 3.1.7 (Fuel Rods), 3.6.2/4.6.2 
(Protective Instrumentation), and the associated Bases to allow the use 
of Range 10 on the Intermediate Range Neutron Flux Monitors (IRMs) with 
the Reactor Protection System low pressure trip for main steam line 
isolation valve closure not in bypass. Changes were also proposed to TS 
Tables 3.6.2.a/4.6.2a (Instrumentation that Initiates Scram) and TS 
Tables 3.6.2g/4.6.2g (Instrumentation that Initiates Control Rod 
Withdrawal Block) to extend the calibration frequency of the Source 
Range Neutron Flux Monitors (SRMs) and the IRMs from prior to startup 
and shutdown to once per operating cycle. The proposed change would 
have also changed the Instrument Channel Test interval for the SRMs and 
IRMs from prior to startup and shutdown to once per week. Associated 
changes to TSs Setpoints, Bases, References, and Notes for TSs 2.1.2, 
3.1.7, and 3.6.2/4.6.2 were also proposed.
    By letter dated February 1, 1995, NMPC requested to withdraw that 
portion of the proposed amendment associated with the extension of the 
calibration frequency for the SRMs and IRMs.
    The Commission has previously issued a Notice of Consideration of 
Issuance of Amendment to Facility Operating License, Proposed No 
Significant Hazards Consideration Determination, and Opportunity for a 
Hearing which was published in the Federal Register on August 31, 1994 
(59 FR 45028).
    For further details with respect to this action, see the 
application for amendment dated July 21, 1994, as supplemented on 
December 5, 1994, December 14, 1994, and January 11, 1995, and the 
licensee's letter dated February 1, 1995, which withdrew the portion of 
the application for license amendment associated with the extension of 
the calibration frequency for the SRMs and IRMs. The above documents 
are available for public inspection at the Commission's Public Document 
Room, 2120 L Street, NW., Washington, DC, and at the local public 
document room located at Reference and Documents Department, Penfield 
Library, State University of New York, Oswego, New York.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 3rd day of March 1995.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Donald S. Brinkman,
Senior Project Manager, Project Directorate I-1, Division of Reactor 
Projects--I/II, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
