NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket Nos. 50-325 and 50-324]


Carolina Power & Light Company; Brunswick Steam Electric Plant, 
Units 1 and 2; Notice of Withdrawal of Application for Amendment to 
Facility Operating License

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC, the Commission) has 
granted the request of Carolina Power & Light Company (the licensee) to 
withdraw its August 13, 2007, application, as supplemented by letter 
dated June 19, 2008, for proposed amendments to Facility Operating 
License Nos. 325 and 50-324 for Brunswick Steam Electric Plant, Units 1 
and 2 (BSEP), located in Brunswick County, North Carolina.
    The proposed amendment would have revised BSEP's Technical 
Specification (TS) Table 3.3.1.2-1, ``Source Range Monitor [SRM] 
Instrumentation,'' to add a footnote that specifies the required 
locations of operable SRMs in Mode 5 during core alternations, and to 
make an administrative correction to Surveillance Requirement 3.3.1.2.2 
in the Unit 1 TSs.
    The Commission had previously issued a Notice of Consideration of 
Issuance of Amendment published in the Federal Register on February 26, 
2008 (73 FR 1025). Subsequently, the licensee determined to no longer 
pursue NRC approval of the proposed license amendments and by letter 
dated September 22, 2008, the licensee withdrew the request.
    For further details with respect to this action, see the 
application for amendments dated August 13, 2007, as supplemented by 
letter dated June 19, 2008, and the licensee's letter dated September 
22, 2008, which withdrew the application for license amendments. 
Documents may be examined, and/or copied for a fee, at the NRC's Public
