Power Cooperative, and Duane Arnold Energy Center; Notice of Withdrawal 
of Applications for Amendments to Facility Operating License

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has granted 
the request of IES Utilities Inc. (the licensee) to withdraw its 
applications dated May 9, 1997 (two letters), and January 9, 1998, for 
proposed amendments to Facility Operating License No. DPR-49 for the

    The proposed amendments would have modified the facility technical 
specifications by (1) revising the definitions of Limiting Safety 
System Setting and Instrument/Channel Calibration; (2) revising the 
definition of Limiting Conditions for Operation (LCO); and (3) revising 
the LCO for primary containment isolation valves.

However, by letter dated July 31, 1998, the licensee withdrew the 
proposed changes.
    For further details with respect to this action, see the 
applications for amendment dated May 9, 1997 (two letters), and January 
9, 1998, and the licensee's letter dated July 31, 1998, which withdrew 
the applications for license amendments. The above documents are 
available for public inspection at the Commission's Public Document 
Room, 2120 L Street, NW., Washington, DC 20555, and at the local public 
document room located at the Cedar Rapids Public Library, 500 First
