NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. 50-285]


Omaha Public Power District, Fort Calhoun Station, Unit No. 1; 
Notice of Withdrawal of Application for Amendment to Facility Operating 
License

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has granted 
the request of Omaha Public Power District (the licensee) to withdraw 
its February 5, 2008, application for proposed amendment to Facility 
Operating License No. DPR-40 for the Fort Calhoun Station, Unit No. 1, 
located in Washington County, Nebraska.
    The proposed amendment would have revised the Technical 
Specifications (TS) to eliminate the second condition of Limiting 
Conditions for Operation from (LCO) 2.5(1)A. The current LCO 2.5(1)A. 
states, ``With one steam supply to the turbine driven AFW [auxiliary 
feedwater] pump inoperable, restore the steam supply to OPERABLE status 
within 7 days and within 8 days from discovery of the failure to meet 
the LCO.'' The amendment would have eliminated the second condition 
that states, ``and within 8 days from discovery of failure to meet the 
LCO.'' The licensee stated that the proposed change would have been 
consistent with the objective of Technical Specification Task Force 
(TSTF) Traveler TSTF-439, Revision 2, ``Eliminate Second Completion 
Times Limiting Time From Discovery of Failure to Meet an LCO.''
    The Commission had previously issued a Notice of Consideration of 
Issuance of Amendment published in the Federal Register on June 3, 2008 
(73 FR 31722). However, by letter dated November 10, 2008, the licensee 
withdrew the proposed change.
    For further details with respect to this action, see the 
application for amendment dated February 5, 2008, and the licensee's 
letter dated November 10, 2008, which withdrew the application for 
license amendment. Documents may be examined, and/or copied for a fee,
