NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. 50-331]


Nuclear Management Company; Notice of Partial Denial of Amendment 
to Facility Operating License and Opportunity for Hearing

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the Commission) has 
denied a request by Nuclear Management Company, LLC (the licensee) for 
an amendment to Facility Operating License No. DPR-49 issued to the 
licensee for operation of the Duane Arnold Energy Center, located in 
Linn County, Iowa.
    Notice of Consideration of Issuance of this amendment was published 
in the Federal Register on April 13, 2004 (69 FR 19571).
    The purpose of the licensee's amendment request was to revise the 
Technical Specifications (TS) to reflect adoption of Technical 
Specifications Task Force (TSTF) traveler numbers 264, 273, 284, and 
299.
    The NRC staff has concluded that the portion of the licensee's 
request to adopt TSTF-264 and revise TS 3.3.1.1 cannot be granted. The 
licensee was notified of the Commission's denial of the proposed change 
by a letter dated June 14, 2005.
    By 30 days from the date of publication of this notice in the 
Federal Register, the licensee may demand a hearing with respect to the 
denial described above. Any person whose interest may be affected by 
this proceeding may file a written petition for leave to intervene 
pursuant to the requirements of Title 10 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations Section 2.309.
    A request for hearing or petition for leave to intervene must be 
filed with the Secretary of the Commission, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 
Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001 Attention: Rulemakings and 
Adjudications Staff, or may be delivered to the Commission's Public 
Document Room (PDR), located at One White Flint North, Public File Area 
O1 F21, 11555 Rockville Pike (first floor), Rockville, Maryland, by the 
above date. Because of continuing disruptions in delivery to mail to 
U.S. Government offices, it is requested that petitions for leave to 
intervene and requests for hearing be transmitted to the Secretary of 
the Commission either by means of facsimile transmission to 301-415-
1101 or by e-mail to [email protected]. A copy of any petitions 
should also be sent to the Office of the General Counsel, U.S. Nuclear 
Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001, and because of 
continuing disruptions in delivery of mail to the U.S. Government 
offices, it is requested that copies be transmitted either by means of 
facsimile transmission to 301-415-3725 or by e-mail to 
[email protected]. A copy of any petitions should also be sent to 
Bradley D. Jackson, Esq., Foley and Lardner, P.O. Box 1497, Madison, WI 
53701-1497, attorney for the licensee.
    For further details with respect to this action, see (1) the 
application for amendment dated January 28, 2004, as supplemented by 
letter dated November 22, 2004, and (2) the Commission's letter to the
