SUBJECT:

WITHDRAWAL OF AN AMENDMENT REQUEST (TAC NOS. MD4068 AND MD4069)

Dear Mr. Blevins:

By letter dated January 18, 2007, as supplemented July 18, 2007, you applied for an amendment to Facility Operating License Nos. NPF-87 and NPF-89, for Comanche Peak Steam Electric Station, Units 1 and 2, respectively. The proposed change would have modified the Technical Specification 3.8.1, AC [Alternating Current] Sources - Operating, by extending the allowable completion time associated with restoration of an inoperable offsite circuit (i.e.,

the startup transformer). Subsequently, by letter dated October 22, 2007, 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/
