UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555*0001 April 26, 2011 Mr. Michael R. Glover General Manager, Nuclear Support Nuclear Generation Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC P.O. Box 1006 Charlotte, NC 28201-1006
SUBJECT:
CATAWBA NUCLEAR STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2, MCGUIRE NUCLEAR STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2, AND OCONEE NUCLEAR STATION, UNITS 1,2, AND 3 - WITHDRAWAL OF AMENDMENT REQUESTS (TAC NOS. ME3999, ME4000 (CATAWBA), ME4001, ME4002 (MCGUIRE), ME4003, ME4004, AND ME4005 (OCONEE))
Dear Mr. Glover:
By letter dated April 26, 2010, Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC (Duke), applied for amendments to the Catawba Nuclear Station, Units 1 and 2, Renewed Facility Operating Licenses NPF-35 and NPF-52; the McGuire Nuclear Station, Units 1 and 2, Renewed Facility Operating Licenses NPF-9 and NPF-17; and the Oconee Nuclear Station, Units 1,2, and 3, Renewed Facility Operating Licenses DPR-38, DPR-47, and DPR-55. The proposed change would have modified the facility technical specifications pertaining to organizational changes. Subsequently, Duke determined that it would not pursue this issue and, in a telephone conversation on March 28, 2011, between Mr. Jeffery Thomas of Duke's staff and I, Mr. Thomas explained that Duke planned to withdraw the amendment. By letter dated April 18, 2011, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff informed Duke that the NRC would consider the proposed amendment to be withdrawn unless Duke notified us by April 25, 2011, that our understanding was incorrect. Since the allotted time has passed and you have not responded, we consider the amendment request withdrawn.
M. Glover
