[Federal Register Volume 63, Number 38 (Thursday, February 26, 1998)] [Notices] [Page 9872] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 98-4956] ======================================================================= ----------------------------------------------------------------------- NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION [Docket Nos. 50-295 and 50-304] Commonwealth Edison Company; Notice of Withdrawal of Amendment to Facility Operating Licenses The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has granted the request of Commonwealth Edison Company (ComEd, the licensee) to withdraw its November 7, 1996, applications for proposed amendments to Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-39 and DPR-48, issued to the licensee for operation of the Zion Nuclear Power Station, Units 1 and 2, located in Ogle County, Illinois. Notice of Consideration of Issuance for these amendments was published in the Federal Register on December 18, 1996 (61 FR 66704-05). The first proposed amendment would have modified the facility technical specification (TS) surveillance requirements from verifying greater than or equal to 17 percent steam generator secondary side wide range water level to greater than or equal to 17 percent steam generator secondary side narrow range water level. The second proposed amendment would have changed the TS values for the reduced power range neutron flux high setpoint trip that are specified when one or more code main steam safety valves are inoperable. The third proposed amendment would have clarified the TS operability requirements for the residual heat removal loops during core alteration operations. By letter dated February 12, 1998, ComEd withdrew the amendment requests because they are no longer needed. By letter dated February 13, 1998, ComEd certified that they have permanently ceased operations at Zion Nuclear Power Station, Units 1 and 2. Since ComEd has permanently ceased operations at Zion Station, the license amendment requests submitted on November 7, 1996, are no longer needed. For further details with respect to this action, see (1) The three applications for amendment dated November 7, 1996, and (2) the staff's letter dated February 23, 1998. These documents are available for public inspection at the Commissions Public Document Room, the Gelman Building, 2120 L Street, NW., Washington, DC, and at the local public document room located at the Waukegan Public Library, 128 N.
