NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION


Docket Nos. 50-269, 50-270, AND 50-287

Duke Energy Corporation; Notice of Withdrawal of Application for 
Amendments to Facility Operating Licenses
    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has granted 
the request of Duke Energy Corporation (the licensee) to withdraw its 
September 4, 1997, application for proposed amendments to Facility 
Operating License Nos. DPR-38, DPR-47, and DPR-55 for the Oconee 
Nuclear Station Units 1, 2, and 3, respectively, located in Seneca, 
South Carolina.
    The proposed amendments would have revised the Technical 
Specifications (TS) pertaining to the justification of the 
acceptability of the current TS for the High Pressure Injection (HPI) 
System and allowing operation at reduced power levels with two HPI 
pumps. The submittal was made because of the potential for an extended 
shutdown to repair the 3B HPI pump that existed at the time the 
amendments were proposed. The 3B pump has been repaired.
    The Commission had previously issued a Notice of Consideration of 
Issuance of Amendments published in the Federal Register on September 
24, 1997 (62 FR 50003). However, by letter dated February 9, 1998, the 
licensee withdrew the proposed change.
    For further details with respect to this action, see the 
application for amendments dated September 4, 1997, and the licensee's 
letter dated February 9, 1998, 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 Oconee County Library, 501 West South 
Broad Street, Walhalla, South Carolina.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 12th day of February 1998.
    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
David E. LaBarge,
Senior Project Manager, Project Directorate II-2, Division of Reactor 
Projects--I/II, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
