NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION


[Docket Nos. 50-269, 50-270, and 50-287]


 
Duke Energy Corporation; 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 Energy Corporation (the licensee) to withdraw its 
December 6, 2002, application for proposed amendments to Renewed 
Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-38, DPR-47, and DPR-55 for the 
Oconee Nuclear Station, Units 1, 2, and 3 located in Seneca, South 
Carolina.
    The proposed amendments would have revised Technical Specification 
(TS) 3.7.16, ``Control Room Area Cooling System (CRACS),'' that 
currently requires entry into TS 3.0.3 when two trains of CRACS are 
inoperable. The proposed amendments would have eliminated the required 
entry into TS 3.0.3 and would have allowed 6 hours to restore the 
operability of one train.
    The Commission had previously issued a notice of consideration of 
issuance of amendment published in the Federal Register on February 5, 
2002 (67 FR 5326). However, by letter dated November 26, 2002, the 
licensee withdrew the proposed change.
    For further details with respect to this action, see the 
application for amendment dated December 6, 2002, and the licensee's 
letter dated November 26, 2002, 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, 11555 Rockville Pike (first floor), Rockville, Maryland. 
Publicly available records will be accessible electronically from the 
Agencywide Documents Access and Management Systems (ADAMS) Public
