Entergy Operations, Inc.; Notice of Denial of Amendment to 
Facility Operating License and Opportunity for Hearing

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has denied 
a request by Entergy Operations, Inc., (licensee) for an amendment to 
Facility Operating License No. NPR-6 issued to the licensee for 
operation of the Arkansas Nuclear One, Unit No. 2, located in Pope 
County, Arkansas. A Notice of Consideration of Issuance of this 
amendment was not published in the Federal Register.
    The purpose of the licensee's amendment request was to revise the 
Technical Specifications (TSs) to relocate the reactor coolant system 
(RCS) flow rate limit to the core operating limits report (COLR).
    The NRC staff has concluded that the licensee's request cannot be 
granted. The licensee was notified of the Commission's denial of the 
proposed change by a letter dated November 1, 1996.
    By December 9, 1996, the licensee may demand a hearing with respect 
to the 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, Attention: Docketing and Services 
Branch, 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, and to Nicholas S. Reynolds, Esquire, Winston and Strawn, 1400 L 
Street, N.W., Washington, DC 20005-3502, attorney for the licensee.
    For further details with respect to this action, see (1) the 
application for amendment dated August 23, 1996, and (2) the 
Commission's letter to the licensee dated November 1, 1996.
