NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. 50-331]


FPL Energy Duane Arnold, LLC; Notice of Withdrawal of Application 
for Amendment to Facility Operating License No. DPR-49

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC, the Commission) has 
granted the request of FPL Energy Duane Arnold, LLC (the licensee) to 
withdraw its November 14, 2007, application for proposed amendment 
(Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession 
No. ML073320232) to Facility Operating License No. DPR-49 for the Duane 
Arnold Energy Center, located in Linn County.
    The proposed amendment would have revised Technical Specification 
(TS) 5.5.12, ``Primary Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program,'' to 
allow use of the requirements of American Society of Mechanical 
Engineers (ASME) Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (the Code), Section 
XI, Subsection IWE for visual examination of the steel containment. 
This license amendment request was consistent with NRC-approved 
Technical Specification Task Force (TSTF) Traveler number TSTF-343, 
Revision 1, ``Containment Structural Integrity.''
    The Commission had previously issued a Notice of Consideration of 
Issuance of Amendment published in the Federal Register on January 28, 
2008 (73 FR 5220). However, by letter dated April 23, 2008, ADAMS 
Accession No. ML081270233, the licensee withdrew the proposed change.
    For further details with respect to this action, see the 
application for amendment dated November 14, 2007, and the licensee's 
letter dated April 23, 2008, 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,

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 30th day of May 2008.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Project Manager, Plant Licensing Branch III-1, Division of Operating
