SUBJECT:
OCONEE NUCLEAR STATION, UNITS 1, 2, AND 3 - WITHDRAWAL OF AMENDMENTS REQUEST (TAC NOS. MC5895, MC5896, AND MC5897)
Dear Mr. Hamilton:
By letter dated February 14, 2005, you applied for amendments to Oconee Nuclear Station, Units 1, 2, and 3, Renewed Facility Operating Licenses Nos. DPR-38, DPR-47, and DPR-55, respectively. The proposed changes would have modified the facilities technical specifications to accommodate the replacement of the current analog-based reactor protective system (RPS) and engineered safeguards protective system (ESPS) with a digital computer-based RPS and ESPS. Subsequently, by letter dated June 22, 2006, you withdrew the amendments request.
The Commission has filed the enclosed Notice of Withdrawal of Application for Amendments to Facility Operating Licenses with the Office of the Federal Register for publication.
Sincerely,
/RA/
