NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

 [Docket No. 50-82]


Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation; Notice of Withdrawal of 
Application for Amendment to Facility Operating License

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has granted 
the request of Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation (the licensee) 
to withdraw its application dated February 21, 2006, with supplemental 
letters dated May 3 and September 27, 2007, and January 25, 2008, for 
proposed amendment to Facility Operating License No. NPF-42 for the 
Wolf Creek Generating Station, located in Coffey County, Kansas.

[[Page 12782]]

    The proposed amendment would have revised Technical Specification 
(TS) 5.5.9, ``Steam Generator (SG) Tube Surveillance Program,'' to 
exclude portions of the steam generator tube below the top of the 
tubesheet from periodic tube inspections based on the application of 
structural analysis and leak rate evaluation results to re-define the 
primary-to-secondary pressure boundary. In addition, there were also 
proposed changes to add new reporting requirements to TS 5.6.10, 
``Steam Generator Tube Inspection Report.''
    The Commission had previously issued a Notice of Consideration of 
Issuance of Amendment, on the above proposed amendment application, 
that was published in the Federal Register on April 11, 2006 (71 FR 
18377). However, by letter dated February 14, 2008, the licensee 
withdrew the proposed amendment.
    For further details with respect to this action, see the 
application for amendment dated February 21, 2006, with supplemental 
letters dated May 3 and September 27, 2007, and January 25, 2008, and 
the licensee's letter dated February 14, 2008, which withdrew the 
application for license amendment. Documents may be examined, and/or
