Dear Mr. Young:

By letter dated October 25, 2007, Florida Power Corporation (FPC) applied for an amendment to the Crystal River Nuclear Plant, Unit No.3 (CR-3), Facility Operating License No. DPR-72, and its technical specifications. The proposed change would have modified the facility Improved TS 5.6.2.14 by relocating references to specific American Society for Testing and Materials standards for fuel oil testing to licensee-controlled documents using TSTF-374.

On JUly 29, 2008, a telephone conversation was held between the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff and FPC personnel concerning CR-3's proposed deviations from TSTF-374. The licensee concluded that justification acceptable to the NRC could not be provided for some of the proposed deviations. Subsequently, the licensee withdrew the subject LAR by letter dated August 26, 2008.

The NRC has filed the enclosed Notice of Withdrawal of Application for Amendment to Facility Operating License with the Office of the Federal Register for publication. Please contact me at (301) 415-1447, if you have questions.

Sincerely,
