February 24, 2004 Mr. Daniel J. Malone Site Vice President Nuclear Management Company, LLC 27780 Blue Star Memorial Highway Covert, MI 49043-9530

SUBJECT:

PALISADES PLANT - NOTICE OF CONSIDERATION OF ISSUANCE OF AMENDMENT TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE AND OPPORTUNITY FOR A HEARING (TAC NO. MC1862)

Dear Mr. Malone:

Enclosed is a copy of a "Notice of Consideration of Issuance of Amendment to Facility Operating License and Opportunity for a Hearing," for your application dated January 29, 2004.

The proposed amendment would add a paragraph to Section 2C of the operating license authorizing you to update the final safety analysis report to reflect a change in the licensing basis for the handling of heavy loads using the main hoist of the fuel pool building crane (L-3 crane). The revised licensing basis is based upon the upgrading or re-evaluation of the lifting capacity of the L-3 crane main hoist, bridge, trolley, and the supporting structure from 100 tons to 110 tons, and the incorporation and crediting of single-failure-proof technology.

The notice is being forwarded to the Office of the Federal Register for publication.

Sincerely,

/RA/

Darl S. Hood, Senior Project Manager, Section 1 Project Directorate III Division of Licensing Project Management Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Docket No. 50-255
