[Docket Nos. 50-327 and 50-328]


Tennessee Valley Authority; Notice of Withdrawal of Application 
for Amendments to Facility Operating Licenses

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has granted 
the request of Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) to withdraw its August 
30, 1999, application for proposed amendments to Facility Operating 
Licenses Nos. DPR-77 and DPR-79 for the Sequoyah Nuclear Plant, Units 1 
and 2, located in Hamilton County, Tennessee. Notice of Consideration 
of Issuance of this amendment was published in the Federal Register on 
October 6, 1999 (64 FR 54382).
    The proposed amendments would have revised the facility technical 
specifications (TS) by adding a Section 3.0.7 to address the use of 
interim provisions upon the discovery of an unintended TS action.
    Subsequently, by letter dated October 17, 2000, TVA withdrew the 
proposed amendment application on the basis that approval of the 
amendment was unlikely because of legal concerns on the part of the 
Commission.
    For further details with respect to this action, see the 
application for amendments dated August 30, 1999, and the TVA's letter 
dated October 17, 2000, which withdrew the application for license 
amendments.
    These Documents may be examined, and/or copied for a fee, at the 
Commission's Public Document room, located at One White Flint North, 
11555 Rockville Pike (first floor), Rockville, Maryland, 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 27th day of October 2000.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Senior Project Manager, Section 2, Project Directorate II, Division of 
Licensing Project Management, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
