KEWAUNEE POWER STATION - WITHDRAWAL OF AN AMENDMENT REQUEST REGARDING AUXILIARY BUILDING CRANE UPGRADE METHODOLOGY CHANGE (TAC NO. MD7301)

Dear Mr. Christian:

By letter dated November 9, 2007 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML073180499), you applied for an amendment to the Kewaunee Power Station (KPS), Facility Operating License No. DPR-43. The proposed change would have allowed the use of a methodology not currently approved for use at KPS for performing the seismic qualification analysis of the auxiliary building crane. Subsequently, by letter dated April 11, 2008 (ADAMS Accession No. ML081050011), 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/
