NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. 50-458]


Entergy Operations, Inc.; Notice of Withdrawal of Application for 
Amendment to Facility Operating License

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has granted 
the request of Entergy Operations, Inc. (the licensee), to withdraw its 
October 25, 1999, application, as supplemented by letter dated January 
12, 2000, for a proposed amendment to Facility Operating License No. 
NPF-47 for the River Bend Station, Unit 1, located in West Feliciana 
Parish, Louisiana.
    The proposed amendment would have revised the reactor vessel 
material surveillance program capsule schedule, defined in Technical 
Requirements Manual, Table 3.4.11-1, as required by Title 10 of the 
Code of Federal Regulations Part 50, Appendix H, Section III. The 
licensee had originally requested that the schedule to remove its first 
surveillance capsule be changed from 10.4 effective full power years 
(EFPY) to 13.4 EFPY. The January 12, 2000, letter subsequently 
requested that the capsule removal schedule be 11.5 EFPY.
    The Commission had previously issued a Notice of Consideration of 
Issuance of Amendment, which was published in the Federal Register on 
December 15, 1999 (64 FR 70083). However, by letter dated March 2, 
2000, the licensee withdrew the proposed change.
    For further details with respect to this action, see the 
application for amendment dated October 25, 1999, supplemental letter 
dated January 12, 2000, and the licensee's letter dated March 2, 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 23rd day of March 2000.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Robert J. Fretz,
Project Manager, Section 1, Project Directorate IV & Decommissioning,
