NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. 50-400]


Carolina Power & Light Company; Notice of Partial Withdrawal of 
Application for Amendment to Facility Operating License

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has granted 
the request of Carolina Power & Light Company, et al. (the licensee) to 
withdraw a portion of its August 28, 2002, application for proposed 
amendment to Facility Operating License No. NPF-63 for the Shearon 
Harris Nuclear Power Plant, Unit 1, located in Wake and Chatham 
Counties, North Carolina.
    The withdrawn portion of the proposed amendment would have revised 
Technical Specification 6.9.1.6.2 by including Topical Report EMF-
2310(P)(A), ``SRP [Standard Review Plan] Chapter 15 Non-LOCA [loss-of-
coolant accident] Methodology for Pressurized-Water Reactors,'' as a 
reference methodology used to determine core operating limits at 
Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant, Unit 1.
    The other portion of the amendment application, which requested 
approval of topical report EMF-2328(P)(A), ``PWR [pressurized-water 
reactor] Small-Break LOCA Evaluation Model, S-RELAP5-Based,'' as a 
reference in the TS, was approved and issued as Amendment No. 114 on 
March 28, 2003 (68 FR 18291, April 15, 2003).
    The Commission had previously issued a Notice of Consideration of 
Issuance of Amendment published in the Federal Register on October 15, 
2002 (67 FR 63691). However, by letter dated August 28, 2003, the 
licensee withdrew the portion of the proposed change described above.
    For further details with respect to this action, see the 
application for amendment dated August 28, 2002, and the licensee's 
letter dated August 28, 2003, which withdrew this portion of the 
application for license amendment. Documents may be examined, and/or
