November 12, 2003 Mr. James J. Sheppard President and Chief Executive Officer STP Nuclear Operating Company South Texas Project Electric Generating Station P. O. Box 289 Wadsworth, TX 77483
SUBJECT:
SOUTH TEXAS PROJECT, UNITS 1 AND 2 - WITHDRAWAL OF AMENDMENT REQUEST (TAC NOS. MB2140 AND MB2141)
Dear Mr. Sheppard:
By application to the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) dated June 28, 2001, you requested NRC consent to transfer control of Central Power and Light Companys (CPLs) interest in the South Texas Project (STP), Units 1 and 2, to a Texas partnership, which would be indirectly, wholly owned, by American Electric Power, the parent company of CPL. You also requested conforming amendments to the STP, Units 1 and 2, facility operating licenses.
By letter dated May 21, 2002, you requested that the NRC suspend its review of the application.
Subsequently, by letter dated July 28, 2003, you requested that the application be withdrawn.
The NRC staff did not have any objections to your request to withdraw the license amendment.
Since the amendment request has been withdrawn, the NRC staff has filed the enclosed Notice of Withdrawal of Application for Amendment to Facility Operating License with the Office of the Federal Register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/
David H. Jaffe, Senior Project Manager, Section 1 Project Directorate IV Division of Licensing Project Management Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Docket Nos. 50-498 and 50-499
