NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket Nos. 50-282 and 50-306]


Nuclear Management Company, LLC (NMC); Notice of Withdrawal of 
Application for Amendment to Facility Operating License

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has granted 
the request of Nuclear Management Company, LLC (NMC) (the licensee) to 
withdraw its February 28, 2005, application for proposed amendment to 
Facility Operating License No. DPR-42 and DPR-60 for the Prairie Island 
Nuclear Generating Plant, Units 1 and 2, located in Goodhue County, 
Minnesota.
    The proposed change would allow the use of the small-break loss-of-
coolant accident (SBLOCA) methodology described in Westinghouse WCAP 
10054-P-A Addendum 2 Revision 1, ``Addendum to the Westinghouse small-
break emergency core cooling system Evaluation Model Using the NOTRUMP 
Code: Safety Injection into the Broken Loop and COSI Condensation 
Model'' dated July 1997. This revised methodology determines the core 
response following a SBLOCA event and would have been used to assure 
compliance with the post loss-of-coolant accident acceptance criteria 
specified in 10 CFR part 50.46.
    The Commission had previously issued a Notice of Consideration of 
Issuance of Amendment published in the Federal Register on April 26, 
2005 (79 FR 21459). However, by letter dated February 2, 2006, the 
licensee withdrew the proposed change.
    For further details with respect to this action, see the 
application for amendment dated February 28, 2005, and the licensee's 
letter dated February 2, 2006, which withdrew the application for 
license amendment. Documents may be examined, and/or copied for a fee,
