NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. 50-293]


Entergy Nuclear Generation Company, Entergy Nuclear Operations, 
Inc.; Notice of Partial Withdrawal of Application for Amendment to 
Facility Operating License

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or Commission) has 
granted the request of Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (the licensee), 
to withdraw a portion of its January 23, 2003, application for 
amendment to Facility Operating License No. DPR-35 for the Pilgrim 
Nuclear Power Station, located in Plymouth County, Massachusetts. The 
licensee's application was supplemented by letters dated February 24 
and April 17, 2003.
    The Commission had previously issued a Notice of Consideration of 
Issuance of Amendment published in the Federal Register on March 18, 
2003 (68 FR 12952). However, by letter dated April 17, 2003, the 
licensee withdrew a portion of the original amendment request 
pertaining to the proposed change to note (1) of Technical 
Specification (TS) Table 3.2.B.
    The Commission issued License Amendment No. 200 on April 22, 2003, 
which revised the TSs pertaining to requirements for the emergency core 
cooling system during shutdown conditions. The change modified the core 
spray and low pressure injection system's TS requirements to be 
applicable during the Run, Startup, and Hot Shutdown Modes. The change 
also modified the high drywell pressure instrumentation TSs to require 
the instrumentation to be Operable during the Run, Startup and Hot 
Shutdown Modes. Unnecessary TS requirements were removed based on the 
plant's operating Mode. Other changes were administrative in nature.
    For further details with respect to this action, see the 
application for amendment dated January 23, 2003, as supplemented 
February 24, 2003; and the licensee's April 17, 2003, letter that 
withdrew a portion of 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,
