NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket Nos. 50-498 and 50-499]


STP Nuclear Operating 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 STP Nuclear Operating Company (the licensee) to withdraw 
its August 18, 1997, application for proposed amendment to Facility 
Operating Licenses Nos. NPF-76 and NPF-80 for the South Texas Project, 
Units 1 and 2, located in Matagorda County, Texas.
    The proposed amendment would have revised Technical Specification 
3.7.1.6, Atmospheric Steam Relief Valves, to ensure the automatic 
feature of the steam generator power operated relief valve remains 
operable during Modes 1 and 2. In addition, the proposed change would 
have added a surveillance requiring that a channel calibration on the 
steam generator power operated relief valve be performed every 18 
months. Subsequently, by letter dated January 19, 1999, the licensee 
withdrew the amendment request.
    The Commission had previously issued a Notice of Consideration of 
Issuance of Amendment published in the Federal Register on September 
24, 1997 (62 FR 50007 ). However, by letter dated January 19, 1999, the 
licensee withdrew the proposed change.
    For further details with respect to this action, see the 
application for amendment dated August 18, 1997, and the licensee's 
letter dated January 19, 1999, which withdrew the application for 
license amendment. 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 Wharton County Junior College, J.M. Hodges 
Learning Center, 911 Boling Highway, Wharton, TX 77488.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 29th day of January 1999.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Thomas W. Alexion,
Project Manager, Project Directorate IV-1, Division of Reactor Projects 
III/IV, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
