NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. 50-397]


Energy Northwest, Notice of Withdrawal of Application for 
Amendment to Facility Operating License

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has granted 
the request of Energy Northwest (the licensee), formerly known as the 
Washington Public Power Supply System, to withdraw its October 15, 
1996, application for proposed amendment to Facility Operating License 
No. NPF-21 for WNP-2, located in Benton County, Washington.
    The proposed amendment would have revised the facility technical 
specifications pertaining to secondary containment drawdown time and 
secondary containment bypass leakage.
    The Commission had previously issued a Notice of Consideration of 
Issuance of Amendment published in the Federal Register on September 
23, 1998 (63 FR 50942). However, by letter dated July 16, 1999, the 
licensee withdrew the proposed change and stated that they planned to 
revise and resubmit the amendment request by November 12, 1999.
