NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. 50-285]


Omaha Public Power District; Notice of Withdrawal of Application 
for Amendment to Facility Operating License

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC/the Commission) has 
granted the request of Omaha Public Power District (OPPD, the licensee) 
to withdraw its August 11, 2005, application for proposed amendment to 
Facility Operating License No. DPR-40 for the Fort Calhoun Station, 
Unit No. 1, located in Washington County, Nebraska.
    The proposed amendment would have revised the Technical 
Specifications (TSs) pertaining to the volume of trisodium phosphate 
(TSP) needed in containment. Specifically, this proposed change would 
have revised TS Figure 2-3, ``TSP Volume Required for RCS [Reactor 
Coolant System] Critical Boron Concentration (ARO [All Rods Out], HZP 
[Hot Zero Power], No Xenon),'' and related technical information used 
for calculating minimum volumes of TSP required for maintaining sump pH 
equal to or greater than 7. The amendment was necessary to account for 
the increase in the RCS volume as result of the planned replacement of 
the steam generators and pressurizer. The amendment is no longer needed 
since the NRC staff has approved the OPPD amendment dated August 21, 
2006, to remove the TSP and replace it with sodium tetraborate.
    The Commission had previously issued a Notice of Consideration of 
Issuance of Amendment published in the Federal Register on September 
27, 2005 (70 FR 56502). However, by letter dated November 30, 2006, the 
licensee withdrew the proposed change.
    For further details with respect to this action, see the 
application for amendment dated August 11, 2005, as supplemented by 
letter dated November 3, 2005, and the licensee's letter dated November 
30, 2006, which withdrew the application for license amendment. 
Documents may be examined, and/or copied for a fee, at the NRC's Public
