NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. 50-271]


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

    The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the Commission) has 
granted the request of Entergy Nuclear Vermont Yankee, LLC and Entergy 
Nuclear Operations, Inc. (the licensee) to withdraw its April 25, 2003, 
application, as supplemented May 21, 2003, June 11, 2003, and June 30, 
2005, for a proposed amendment to Facility Operating License No. DPR-28 
for the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station (VYNPS), located in 
Windham County Vermont.
    The proposed amendment would have revised the VYNPS Technical 
Specifications (TSs) related to instrumentation to correct deficiencies 
in the TSs, reduce operator work-arounds, improve and correct confusing 
and ambiguous TS requirements, and allow for process enhancements.
    The Commission had previously issued a Notice of Consideration of 
Issuance of Amendment published in the Federal Register on August 5, 
2003 (68 FR 46241). However, by letter dated September 7, 2005, the 
licensee withdrew the proposed amendment request.
    For further details with respect to this action, see the 
application for amendment dated April 25, 2003, as supplemented on May 
21, 2003, June 11, 2003, and June 30, 2005, and the license's letter 
dated September 7, 2005, 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 North, 
Public File Area 01 F21, 11555 Rockville Pike (first floor), Rockville, 
Maryland. Publicly available records will be accessible electronically 
from the Agencywide Documents Access and Management Systems (ADAMS) 
Public Electronic Reading Room on the internet at the NRC Web site,

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 23rd day of September, 2005.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
