NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. 50-370]


Duke Power Company LLC; Notice of Withdrawal of Application for 
Amendment to Facility Operating License

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has granted 
the request of Duke Power Company LLC (the licensee) to withdraw its 
November 7, 2007, application for proposed amendment to Facility 
Operating License No. NPF 17 for the McGuire Nuclear Station, Unit 2 
(McGuire 2), located in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina.
    The proposed amendment would have revised the Technical 
Specifications pertaining to the Unit 2 auxiliary feedwater (AFW) 
system ``A'' train to be declared inoperable for an additional 72 hours 
beyond the allowed 72 hours for piping modifications and testing of the 
Nuclear Service Water System (NSW). The evolution is scheduled to be 
performed within the allowed time (72 hours) for one train of AFW to be 
inoperable. However, implementation and schedule uncertainty could lead 
to exceeding the allowed 72 hours for the AFW Technical Specification. 
Therefore, in an effort to avoid an unnecessary Unit 2 shutdown or 
submittal of a request for Enforcement Discretion, McGuire 2 requested 
a one-time limited duration TS change. The Commission had previously 
issued a Notice of Consideration of Issuance of Amendment published in 
the Federal Register on December 5, 2007 (72 FR 68595). However, by 
letter dated December 18, 2007, the licensee withdrew the proposed 
change.
    For further details with respect to this action, see the 
application for amendment dated November 7, 2007, and the licensee's 
letter dated December 18, 2007, 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 available records will be accessible 
electronically from the Agencywide Documents Access and Management 
Systems (ADAMS) Public Electronic Reading Room on the internet at the 
NRC Web site, http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm.html. Persons who do not

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 3rd day of March 2008.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Senior Project Manager, Plant Licensing Branch II-1, Division of
