NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket No. 50-400]
Carolina Power & Light Company; Notice of Partial Withdrawal of
Application for Amendment to Facility Operating License
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has granted
the request of Carolina Power & Light Company (the licensee) to
partially withdraw its August 18, 2005, application for proposed
amendment to Facility Operating License No. NPF-63 for Shearon Harris
Nuclear Power Plant, Unit No. 1 (HNP), located in Wake and Chatham
Counties, North Carolina.
The proposed amendment would have allowed the use of fire-resistive
electrical cable at HNP for protection of safe shutdown electrical
cables. On May 1, 2006, the NRC staff issued Amendment No. 123 to the
HNP Facility Operating License authorizing the use of fire-resistive
electrical cable for the specific application of the volume control
tank outlet valves, 1CS-165 and 1CS-166, in certain fire areas. In
addition, the NRC staff stated that it would continue to review the
proposed changes in the final safety analysis report to reflect the use
of the fire-resistive electrical cable in other applications. The
licensee requested to discontinue the review of the proposed changes to
reflect the use of the fire-resistive electrical cable in other
applications.
The Commission had previously issued a Notice of Consideration of
Issuance of Amendment published in
[[Page 45584]]
the Federal Register on November 8, 2005 (70 FR 67745). However, by
letter dated June 5, 2006, the licensee partially withdrew the proposed
change.
For further details with respect to this action, see the
application for amendment dated August 18, 2005, as supplemented by
letter dated February 15, 2006, and the licensee's letter dated June 5,
2006, 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 O1 F21,
11555 Rockville Pike (first floor), Rockville, Maryland. Publicly

Documents Access and Management Systems (ADAMS) Public Electronic
