NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

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


Duke Energy Corporation, Oconee Nuclear Station, Units 1, 2, and 
3; Notice of Withdrawal of Application for Amendments to Facility 
Operating Licenses

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has granted 
the request of the Duke Energy Corporation (the licensee) to withdraw 
its February 10, 1997, application for proposed amendments to Facility 
Operating License Nos. DPR-38, DPR-47, and DPR-55 for the Oconee 
Nuclear Station, Units 1, 2, and 3, respectively, located in Seneca 
County, South Carolina.
    The proposed amendments would have revised the Technical 
Specifications to reduce the allowable reactor building volume leakage 
rate per-day limit to permit relaxation of certain requirements for 
operability of the power-operated relief valves. The Commission had 
previously issued a Notice of Consideration of Issuance of Amendments 
published in the Federal Register on March 12, 1997 (62 FR 11493). 
However, by letter dated April 6, 1998, the licensee withdrew the 
proposed change.
    For further details with respect to this action, see the 
application for amendments dated February 10, 1997, as supplemented 
February 4, 1998, and the licensee's letter dated April 6, 1998, which 
withdrew the application for license amendments. The above documents 
are available for public inspection at the Commission's Public Document 
Room, the Gelman Building, 2120 L Street, NW., Washington, DC, and at 
the local public document room located at the Oconee County Library, 
501 West South Broad Street, Walhalla, South Carolina.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 15th day of April 1998.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
David E. LaBarge,
Senior Project Manager, Project Directorate II-2, Division of Reactor 
Projects--I/II, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
