NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket Nos. 50-272 and 50-311]


Public Service Electric and Gas Co.; 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 (PSE&G, or the 
licensee) to withdraw its November 24, 1999, application, as 
supplemented by letter dated February 10, 2000, for the proposed 
amendment to Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-70 and DPR-75 for the 
Salem Nuclear Generating Station, Unit Nos. 1 and 2 (Salem), located in 
Salem County, New Jersey.
    The proposed amendment would have revised charcoal filter testing 
requirements defined in the Salem Technical Specifications (TSs) for 
the Auxiliary Building Ventilation (ABV) System, the Control Room 
Envelope Air Conditioning System (CREACS), and the Fuel Handling 
Building Ventilation (FHV) System to be consistent with Generic Letter 
99-02, ``Laboratory Testing of Nuclear-Grade Activated Charcoal,'' 
dated June 3, 1999.
    The Commission had previously issued a Notice of Consideration of 
Issuance of Amendment published in the Federal Register on May 17, 2000 
(65 FR 31359). However, by letter dated May 31, 2000, the licensee 
withdrew the proposed change. The May 31, 2000, letter also provided a 
new application for a license amendment to change the Salem TSs 
concerning ABV, CREACS, and FHV charcoal filter testing which 
effectively superceded PSE&G's original November 24, 1999, request.
    For further details with respect to this action, see the 
application for amendment dated November 24, 1999, supplemental letter 
dated February 10, 2000, and the licensee's letter dated May 31, 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 6th day of July 2000.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Robert J. Fretz,
Project Manager, Section 2, Project Directorate I, Division of 
Licensing Project Management, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
