NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

Docket Nos. 50-369 and 50-370]


Duke Energy Corporation; Notice of Withdrawal of Application for 
Amendment to Facility Operating License

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has granted 
the request of Duke Energy Corporation (the licensee) to withdraw its 
April 5, 1999, application for proposed amendment to Facility

[[Page 17684]]

Operating License Nos. 9 and 17 for the McGuire Nuclear Station, Units 
1 and 2, located in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina.
    The proposed amendment would have revised TS Section 3.7.15 and 
associated Bases, and Section 4.0, to allow the use of credit for 
soluble boron in spent fuel pool criticality analyses. The request was 
based on the NRC-approved Westinghouse Owners Group Topical Report 
WCAP-14416-NP-A, that provides generic methodology for crediting 
soluble boron.
    The Commission had previously issued a Notice of Consideration of 
Issuance of Amendment published in the Federal Register on May 19, 1999 
(64 FR 27318). However, by letter dated March 23, 2000, the licensee 
withdrew the proposed change.
    For further details with respect to this action, see the 
application for amendment dated April 5, 1999, and the licensee's 
letter dated March 23, 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 29th day of March 2000.

For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Frank Rinaldi,
Project Manager, Section 1, Project Directorate II, Division of 
Licensing Project Management, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
