NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket Nos. 50-348 and 50-364]


Southern Nuclear Operating Company, Inc., Alabama Power Company, 
Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2; 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 
December 3, 2003, application for proposed amendment to Facility 
Operating License Nos. NPF-2 and NPF-8 for the Joseph M. Farley Nuclear 
Plant, Units 1 and 2, located in Houston County, Alabama.
    The proposed amendments would have revised the Technical 
Specifications to extend the completion time for the 1C Emergency 
Diesel Generator from 10 days to 13 days. This change would have 
allowed the continued operation of Farley Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2 
with the inoperable diesel generator until December 13, 2003.
    The Commission had previously issued a Notice of Consideration of 
Issuance of Amendment published in the Dothan Eagle newspaper on 
December 5 and 6, 2003. However, by letter dated December 9, 2003, the 
licensee withdrew the proposed change.
    For further details with respect to this action, see the 
application for amendment dated December 3, 2003, and the licensee's 
letter dated December 9, 2003, which withdrew the application for 
license amendment. Documents may be examined, and/or copied for a fee, 
at the NRC's Public Document Room (PDR), located at One White Flint
