NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. 50-306]


Northern States Power Company; Notice of Withdrawal of 
Application for Amendment to Facility Operating License

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has granted 
the request of Northern States Power Company (the licensee) to withdraw 
its February 10, 1998, application for proposed amendment to Facility 
Operating License No. DPR-60 for the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating 
Plant, Unit 2, located in Goodhue County, Minnesota.
    The proposed amendment requested a limited duration change to the 
Prairie Island Technical Specifications that would allow a reduction in 
the boron concentration required for Mode 6.
    The Commission had previously published notices in the Minneapolis 
Star Tribune on February 16, 1998, and in the Red Wing Republican Eagle 
and Minneapolis Star Tribune on February 17, 1998, requesting comments 
on the NRC staff's proposed determination that the proposed amendment 
involved no significant hazards considerations. However, by letter 
dated March 31, 1998, the licensee withdrew the proposed change.
