NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. 50-458]


Entergy Operations, Inc.; River Bend Station, Unit 1, Notice of 
Withdrawal of Application for Amendment to Fire Hazards Analysis Report 
and Safety Analysis Report

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has 
permitted Entergy Operations, Inc. (the licensee), to withdraw its 
November 6, 1996, application seeking approval for a deviation from its 
approved fire protection program to the extent the program incorporated 
the technical requirements of Section III.G.2 of Appendix R to part 50 
of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations for the River Bend 
Station, Unit 1, located in West Feliciana Parish, Louisiana.
    The application sought Commission approval for changes to the Fire 
Hazards Analysis Report and Safety Analysis Report with respect to the 
installation of a partial-area automatic fire suppression system in 
lieu of a full-area suppression system in Fire Area C-16.
    The Commission had previously issued a proposed no significant 
hazards consideration determination published in the Federal Register 
on December 4, 1996 (61 FR 64385). However, by letter dated December 
17, 1998, the licensee withdrew the application. For further details 
with respect to this action, see the licensee's request dated November 
6, 1996, as supplemented by letters dated July 31, 1997, and April 13, 
1998, and EOI's letter dated December 17, 1998, which withdrew the 
original request. 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 Governments 
Documents Department, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, 
Louisiana.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 18th day of May 1999.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
