SUBJECT:
CLINTON POWER STATION, UNIT 1 - PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL OF AMENDMENT REQUEST (TAC NO. MB2053)
Dear Mr. Skolds:
By letter dated May 21, 2001, AmerGen Energy Company, LLC, applied for an amendment to the Clinton Power Station, Facility Operating License No. NPF-62. The proposed change was to modify the facility technical specifications pertaining to the actions required if the refueling equipment interlocks become inoperable and to the frequency of the refueling equipment interlock inputs channel functional test.
The NRC staff issued an amendment dated April 4, 2002, approving the alternate actions if the refueling equipment interlocks become inoperable. The request to revise the frequency of the refueling equipment interlock inputs channel functional test was not addressed in that license amendment. Subsequently, by letter dated July 16, 2002, you withdrew the portion of the amendment request related to the channel functional test frequency.
The Commission has filed the enclosed Notice of Partial Withdrawal of Application for Amendment to Facility Operating License with the Office of the Federal Register for publication.
Sincerely,
/RA/

However, by letter dated July 16, 2002, the licensee withdrew the portion of the proposed change pertaining to the channel functional test frequency.
