 NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket Nos. 50-280 and 50-281]


Virginia Electric and Power Company; Surry Power Station, Unit 
Nos. 1 and 2; Notice of Withdrawal of Application for Amendment to 
Facility Operating Licenses

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has granted 
the request of Virginia Electric and Power Company (the licensee) to 
withdraw its February 14, 2006, application for proposed amendment to 
Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-32 and DPR-37 for the Surry Power 
Station, Unit Nos. 1 and 2 (Surry 1 and 2), located in Surry County, 
Virginia.
    The proposed amendments would have revised the Technical 
Specifications (TSs) pertaining to restricting the minimum cooling time 
and burnup of spent fuel assemblies that will be placed into storage in 
the NUHOMS HD spent fuel dry storage system at Surry 1 and 2 starting 
in the summer of 2006. Specifically, the proposed amendments would add 
Figure 5.4-2 to the TSs to ensure that the NUHOMS HD canister remains 
subcritical during operations in the Surry 1 and 2 spent fuel pool.
    The Commission had previously issued a Notice of Consideration of 
Issuance of Amendments published in the Federal Register on May 16, 
2006 (71 FR 28390). However, by letter dated March 12, 2007, the 
licensee withdrew the proposed change.
    For further details with respect to this action, see the 
application for amendments dated February 14, 2006, and the licensee's 
letter dated March 12, 2007, which withdrew the application for license 
amendments. Documents may be examined, and/or copied for a fee, at the
