NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

Docket Nos. 50-266 and 50-301


Wisconsin Electric Power Company; Notice of Withdrawal of 
Application For Amendments to Facility Operating Licenses

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has granted 
the request of Wisconsin Electric Power Company (WEPCO, the licensee) 
to withdraw its October 23, 1995, application for proposed amendments 
to Facility Operating Licenses Nos. DPR-24 and DPR-27 for the Point 
Beach Nuclear Plant, Unit Nos. 1 and 2, located in Manitowoc County, 
Wisconsin.
    The proposed amendment would have revised the facility operating 
licenses and technical specifications to change the company name from 
Wisconsin Electric Power Company to Wisconsin Energy Company.
    The Commission had previously issued a Notice of Consideration of 
Issuance of Amendments published in the Federal Register on December 
20, 1995 (60 FR 65687). However, by letter dated May 19, 1997, the 
licensee informed the Commission that the Boards of Directors of 
Northern States Power Company and WEPCO mutually agreed to terminate 
their proposed merger, and WEPCO withdrew the proposed change.
    For further details with respect to this action, see the 
application for amendments dated October 23, 1995, and the licensee's 
letter dated May 19, 1997, which withdrew the application for license 
amendments. 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 Joseph P. Mann Library, 1516 Sixteenth Street, Two 
River, Wisconsin.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 30th day of May 1997.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Linda L. Gundrum,
Project Manager, Project Directorate III-1, Division of Reactor 
Projects--III/IV, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
