NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. 50-313]


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

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has granted 
the request of Entergy Operations, Inc., (the licensee) to withdraw its 
April 2, 2003, application as supplemented by letters dated November 21 
and December 31, 2003, for proposed amendment to Renewed Facility 
Operating License No. DPR-51 for the Arkansas Nuclear One, Unit No. 1, 
located in Pope County, Arkansas.
    The proposed amendment would have revised the technical 
specifications pertaining to the fuel enrichment, the spent fuel pool 
(SFP) boron concentration and criticality analysis, the SFP regions 
(including the use of Metamic poison panels in a portion of the SFP) 
and loading restrictions, and the loading patterns in the new fuel 
storage racks.
    The Commission had previously issued a Notice of Consideration of 
Issuance of Amendment published in the Federal Register on May 13, 2003 
(68 FR 25651). However, by letter dated June 24, 2004, the licensee 
withdrew the proposed change.
    For further details with respect to this action, see the 
application for amendment dated April 2, 2003, as supplemented by 
letters dated November 21 and December 31, 2003, and the licensee's 
letter dated June 24, 2004, which withdrew the application for license 
amendment. Documents may be examined, and/or copied for a fee, at the
