January 27, 2003 Mr. Dale E. Young, Vice President Crystal River Nuclear Plant (NA1B)
ATTN: Supervisor, Licensing and Regulatory Programs 15760 W. Power Line Street Crystal River, Florida 34428-6708
SUBJECT:
WITHDRAWAL OF EXEMPTION REQUEST (TAC NO. MB6747)
Dear Mr. Young:
By letter dated November 18, 2002, you requested an exemption to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Section 55.59(c)(1). This exemption would have allowed the licensed operator requalification examinations for Crystal River Unit 3 to be rescheduled due to a possible labor action. Subsequently, by letter dated December 19, 2002, you withdrew the exemption request.
While considering issuance of the requested exemption, the NRC staff published in the Federal Register (67 FR 76198, December 11, 2002) an environmental assessment and finding of no significant impact as required by 10 CFR 51.21. Since the exemption request has been withdrawn, the environmental assessment and finding of no significant impact is no longer applicable and is being withdrawn. Therefore, the Commission has filed the enclosed Notice of Withdrawal of Environmental Assessment with the Office of the Federal Register for publication.
Sincerely,
/RA by MMcConnell for/

7590-01-P UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION FLORIDA POWER CORPORATION DOCKET NO. 50-302 NOTICE OF WITHDRAWAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has granted the request of Florida Power Corporation (the licensee) to withdraw its November 18, 2002, application for exemption for the Crystal River Nuclear Plant, Unit 3, located in Citrus County, Florida.
The proposed exemption would have allowed the licensed operator requalification examinations for Crystal River Unit 3 to be rescheduled due to a possible labor action.
The Commission had previously issued an Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact published in the FEDERAL REGISTER on December 11, 2002 (67 FR 76198) for the proposed exemption as required by 10 CFR 51.21. However, by letter dated December 19, 2002, the licensee withdrew the proposed change. Therefore, the Commission is withdrawing its previously issued Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact.
For further details with respect to this action, see the request for exemption dated November 18, 2002, and the licensees letter dated December 19, 2002, which withdrew the request for exemption.
