NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket No. 50-498]


Houston Lighting and Power Company, City Public Board of San 
Antonio, Central Power and Light Company, City of Austin, Texas; Notice 
of Withdrawal of Application for Amendment to Facility Operating 
License

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has granted 
the request of Houston Lighting & Power Company, et al., (the licensee) 
to withdraw its February 29, 1996, application for proposed amendment 
to Facility Operating License No. NPF-76 for the South Texas Project, 
Unit No. 1, located in Matagorda County, Texas.
    The proposed amendment would have included the addition of 
Technical Specification 3.10.8 to allow a one-time only extension of 
the standby diesel generator (SDG) allowed outage time for a cumulative 
of 21 days on ``A'' train SDG. In addition, it would have also allowed 
a one-time only extension of the allowed outage time on ``A'' train 
essential cooling water loop for a cumulative 7 days. This one-time 
only change would have become effective on April 10, 1996, and expire 
on May 15, 1996.
    The Commission had previously issued a Notice of Consideration of 
Issuance of Amendment published in the Federal Register on March 8, 
1996 (61 FR 9502). However, by letter dated November 5, 1996, the 
licensee withdrew the proposed change.
    For further details with respect to this action, see the 
application for amendment dated February 29, 1996, and the licensee's 
letter dated November 5, 1996, which withdrew the application for 
license amendment. The above 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 Wharton County Junior College, J. M. 
Hodges Learning Center, 911 Boling Highway, Wharton, TX 77488.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 25th day of November 1996.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
