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 
June 7, 2002, application for proposed amendment to Facility Operating 
License Nos. DPR-38, DPR-47, and DPR-55, for Oconee Nuclear Station, 
Units 1, 2, and 3, located in Oconee County, South Carolina.
    The proposed amendments would have revised the Updated Final Safety 
Analysis Report with regard to tornado mitigation. The proposed 
amendments would have eliminated credit for the flow path from the 
spent fuel pool to the high pressure injection pump following a tornado 
and would have credited the standby shutdown facility as the assured 
means of achieving safe shutdown following a tornado.
    The Commission had previously issued a Notice of Consideration of 
Issuance of Amendment that was originally published in the Federal 
Register on July 23, 2002 (67 FR 48216). A revised Notice of 
Consideration of Issuance of Amendment was published in the Federal 
Register on February 18, 2003 (67 FR 7814). However, by letter dated 
September 9, 2004, the licensee withdrew the proposed change.
    For further details with respect to this action, see the 
application for amendment dated June 7, 2002, and the licensee's letter 
dated September 9, 2004, 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, 
Public File Area O1 F21, 11555 Rockville Pike (first floor), Rockville, 
Maryland.
