NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION


Southern Nuclear Operating Company, Inc.; Georgia Power Company; 
Oglethorpe Power Corporation; Municipal Electric Authority of Georgia; 
City of Dalton, Georgia; Vogtle Electric Generating Plant, Units 1 and 
2; Notice of Withdrawal of Application for Amendment to Facility 
Operating License

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has granted 
the request of Southern Nuclear Operating Corporation (the licensee) to 
withdraw its application dated November 30, 2007, with supplemental 
letters dated February 13, 2008, for proposed amendment to Facility 
Operating Licenses No. NPF-68 and No. NPF-81 for the Vogtle Electric 
Generating Plant, Units No. 1 and 2, located in Burke County, Georgia.
    The proposed amendment would have changed TS 5.5.9 to modify the 
inspection and plugging requirements for portions of Steam Generator 
(SG) tubes within the hot leg side of the tubesheet region of the SGs. 
The proposed changes to TS 5.6.10 would have added requirements to 
report specific data related to indications, leakage detected, and 
calculated accident leakage.
    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 December 18, 2007 (72 FR 
71715). However, by letter dated April 18, 2008, the licensee withdrew 
the proposed amendment.
    For further details with respect to this action, see the 
application for amendment dated November 30, 2007 (Agencywide Documents 
Access Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML073380099), with 
additional information provided by letter dated February 13, 2008, and 
the licensee's letter dated April 18, 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

accessible electronically from the Agencywide Documents Access and 
Management Systems (ADAMS) Public Electronic Reading Room on the

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 12th day of August, 2008.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
