U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Public Service Electric & Gas Company Atlantic City Electric Company 
Docket No. 50-354]


Notice of Withdrawal of Application for Amendment to Facility 
Operating License

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has granted 
the request of Public Service Electric and Gas Company (the licensee) 
to withdraw its May 17, 1999, application as supplemented November 16, 
1999, for proposed amendment to Facility Operating License No. NPF-57

[[Page 4447]]

for the Hope Creek Generating Station, located in Salem County, New 
Jersey.
    The proposed amendment would have modified the facility technical 
specifications associated with the enabling of the Oscillation Power 
Range Monitor (OPRM) reactor protection system (RPS) trip function. The 
OPRM is designed to detect the onset of reactor core power oscillations 
resulting from thermal-hydraulic instability and suppresses them by 
initiating a reactor scram via the RPS trip logic. The Commission had 
previously issued a Notice of Consideration of Issuance of Amendment 
published in the Federal Register on June 16, 1999 (64 FR 32289). 
However, by letter dated January 7, 2000, the licensee withdrew the 
proposed change.
    For further details with respect to this action, see the 
application for amendment dated May 17, 1999, as supplemented November 
16, 1999, and the licensee's letter dated January 7, 2000, 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 
accessible electronically through the ADAMS Public Electronic Reading 
Room link at the NRC Web site (http://www.nrc.gov).


    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 19th day of January 2000.

For The Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Richard B. Ennis,
Project Manager, Section 2, Project Directorate I, Division of 
Licensing Project Management, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
