SUBJECT:

SHEARON HARRIS NUCLEAR POWER PLANT, UNIT 1 - WITHDRAWAL OF AN AMENDMENT REQUEST (TAC NO. MC1633)

Dear Mr. Scarola:

By letter dated December 8, 2003, you applied for an amendment to the Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant, Unit 1, Facility Operating License No. NPF-63. The proposed change would have modified the facility technical specifications to allow a one-time revision to the steam generator (SG) inservice inspection frequency requirements to allow a 40-month inspection interval after the first inservice inspection following SG replacement rather than after two consecutive inspections resulting in C-1 classification. Subsequently, by letter dated August 6, 2004, 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/
