NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. 50-286]


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

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the NRC/Commission) has 
granted the request of Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc., to withdraw 
the Power Authority's of the State of New York (PASNY) the then 
licensee, November 29, 1999, application as supplemented October 27, 
2000, for proposed amendment to Facility Operating License No. DPR-64 
for the Indian Point Nuclear Generating Unit No. 3 (IP3), located in 
Westchester County, New York.
    On November 21, 2000, PASNY's ownership interest in IP3 was 
transferred to Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (Entergy) to possess, 
use, and operate IP3. By letter dated January 26, 2001, Entergy 
requested that the NRC continue to review and act on all requests 
before the Commission which had been submitted by PASNY before the 
transfer. Accordingly, the NRC staff continued its review of PASNY's 
license amendment application. Subsequently, by letter dated May 12, 
2001, Entergy withdrew the amendment request.
    The proposed amendment would have adopted the ``Standard Test 
Method for Nuclear Grade Activated Carbon'' for charcoal filter 
laboratory testing with certain exceptions.
    The Commission had previously issued a Notice of Consideration of 
Issuance of Amendment published in the Federal Register on February 9, 
2000 (65 FR 6409). However, by letter dated May 12, 2001, the licensee 
withdrew the proposed change.
    For further details with respect to this action, see the 
application for amendment dated November 29, 1999, as supplemented 
October 27, 2000, and the licensee's letter dated May 12, 2001, which 
withdrew the application for license amendment. Documents may be 
examined, and/or copied for a fee, at the NRC's Public Document Room,
