NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. 50-285]


Omaha Public Power District; Notice of Partial Denial of 
Amendment to Facility Operating License and Opportunity for Hearing

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has 
partially denied a request by Omaha Public Power District (licensee) 
for an amendment to Facility Operating License No. DPR-40 issued to the 
licensee for operation of the Fort Calhoun Station, Unit No. 1, located 
in Washington County, Nebraska. Notice of Consideration of issuance of 
this amendment was published in the Federal Register on March 1, 1995 
(60 FR 11137).
    The purpose of the licensee's amendment request was to revise the 
Technical Specifications (TS) to delete the requirements for the toxic 
gas monitoring system for toxic chemicals.
    The NRC staff has concluded that the portion of the licensee's 
amendment request pertaining to the chemical ammonia cannot be granted. 
The monitoring requirements for ammonia will remain in the TS. The 
licensee was notified of the Commission's denial of this proposed 
portion of the amendment request by a letter dated January 26, 1998.
    By March 4, 1998, 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, D.C. 20555, Attention: Rulemakings and 
Adjudications Staff, or may be delivered to the Commission's Public 
Document Room, the Gelman Building, 2120 L Street, N.W., Washington, 
D.C. 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, D.C. 
20555, and to Perry D. Robinson, Winston & Strawn, 1400 L Street, N.W., 
Washington, D.C. 20005-3502.
    For further details with respect to this action, see (1) the 
application for amendment dated January 9, 1995, as supplemented by 
letters dated October 17, 1996, and January 26, 1998, and (2) the 
Commission's letter to the licensee dated January 26, 1998.
    These documents are available for public inspection at the 
Commission's Public Document Room, the Gelman Building 2120 L Street, 
N.W., Washington, D.C., and at the local public document room located 
at the W. Dale Clark Library, 215 South 15th Street, Omaha, Nebraska 
68102.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 26th day of January 1998.
