SUBJECT:

DONALD C. COOK NUCLEAR PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2 - PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL OF AN AMENDMENT REQUEST (TAC NOS. MD3462 AND MD3463)

Dear Mr. Nazar:

By letter dated November 3, 2006 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML063320468), as supplemented by letter dated June 27, 2007 (ADAMS Accession No. ML071930148), you applied for an amendment to the Donald C. Cook Units 1 and 2 (DCCNP-1 and DCCNP-2), Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-58 and DPR-74. The amendment would reflect a plant modification that will replace the reactor coolant System (RCS) resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) and bypass piping with fast-response RTD detectors mounted in thermowells directly in the primary loop piping of DCCNP-2. The proposed TS changes affect the applicable notes in the DCCNP-2 TS surveillance requirement (SR) for channel calibration of the overtemperature differential temperature (OTT) and overpower differential temperature (OPT) reactor trip system (RTS) functions. The proposed change would also affect both units TS allowable values (AV) for OTT and OPT RTS functions. In the letter dated June 27, 2007, you withdrew the proposed changes to the DCCNP-1 and DCCNP-2 AVs for OTT and OPT RTS functions.

The Commission has filed the enclosed Notice of Withdrawal of Application for Amendment to Renewed Facility Operating License with the Office of the Federal Register for publication.

Sincerely,

/RA/

NAME AMuniz PTam THarris TTate PST for DATE 9/19/07 9/19/07 9/11/07 9/19/07 7590-01-P UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION INDIANA MICHIGAN POWER COMPANY DOCKET NOS. 50-315 AND 50-316 NOTICE OF PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL OF APPLICATION FOR AMENDMENT TO RENEWED FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has granted the request of Indiana Michigan Power Company (the licensee) to partially withdraw its November 3, 2006, as supplemented by letter dated June 27, 2007, application for proposed amendment to Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-58 and DPR-74 for the Donald C. Cook Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2 (DCCNP-1 and DCCNP-2), located in Berrien County, Michigan.

The proposed amendment would have revised the technical specifications to reflect a plant modification that will replace the reactor coolant system (RCS) resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) and bypass piping with fast-response RTD detectors mounted in thermowells directly in the primary loop piping of DCCNP-2. The proposed TS changes affect the applicable notes in the DCCNP-2 TS surveillance requirement for channel calibration of the overtemperature differential temperature (OTT) and overpower differential temperature (OPT) reactor trip system (RTS) functions. The proposed change would also affect both units' TS Allowable Values (AV) for OTT and OPT RTS functions.

The Commission had previously issued a Notice of Consideration of Issuance of Amendment published in the FEDERAL REGISTER on January 3, 2007 (72 FR 153). However, by letter dated June 27, 2007, the licensee withdrew the proposed changes to the DCCNP-1 and DCCNP-2 AV for OTT and OPT RTS functions. The proposed changes to DCCNP-2 TS that were not withdrawn by the licensee were approved by Amendment No. 280, dated September 19, 2007.

For further details with respect to this action, see the application for amendment dated November 3, 2006, and the licensee's letter dated June 27, 2007, which partially withdrew the

application for license amendment.
