SUBJECT:
SOUTH TEXAS PROJECT, UNITS 1 AND 2 -WITHDRAWAL OF AN AMENDMENT REQUEST (TAC NOS. MB5164 AND MB5165)

By letter dated May 23, 2002, you applied for amendments to Facility Operating License No. NPF-76 and Facility Operating License No. NPF-80 for the South Texas Project, Units 1 and 2, respectively.

Subsequently, by letter dated June 17, 2003, you withdrew the amendment request.
The Commission has filed the enclosed Notice of Withdrawal of Application for Amendment to Facility Operating License with the Office of the Federal Register for publication.
Sincerely,
/RA/
