SUBJECT:
Duke Energy Corporation Catawba Nuclear Station Docket Nos. 50-413, 50-414 Proposed Amendment to Facility Operating Licenses Nos. NPF-35, NPF Supplement In a letter dated December 18, 1997 Duke Energy Corporation submit teri a license amendment request (LAR) for the Catawba Nuclear Station Unit 1 and Unit 2 Facility Operating L3 censes (FOLs). This LAR proposed numerous changes to update the Catawba FOLs to currer.c status. One of the proposed changes in this LAR was to change the term " Final Safety Analysis Report," as currently used in the FOLs, to
" Updated Final Safety Malysis Report." Based upon subsequent discussion with the NRC's Project Manager for Catawba, Duke is hereby withdrawing this proposed change from the December 18 LAR. This change effects Pages 2, 3, and 4 of Loth the Catawba Unit 1 and Catawba Unit 2 FOLs.
Therefore, attached to this letter are new FCL paces that retain the current terminology, " Final Safety Analysis Report." Attachment 1 provides the new pages far Catawba Unit 1 and Attachment 2 provides the new pages for Catawba Unit 2.
The conclusions of the original No Significant Hazards Considerations remain valid.
Please direct questions or comments on this LAR to J. S.
Warren at PO4) 382-4986.
