SUBJECT:

INDIAN POINT NUCLEAR GENERATING UNIT NO. 2 - WITHDRAWAL OF AN AMENDMENT REQUEST RE: TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION APPLICABILITY FOR ENGINEERED SAFETY SYSTEMS (TAC NO. MB1287)

Dear Mr. Kansler:

By letter dated February 27, 2001, you applied for an amendment to Facility Operating License No. DPR-26 for the Indian Point Nuclear Generating Unit No. 2. The proposed change would have revised the Technical Specifications (TSs) to change the mode applicability for certain engineered safety features and auxiliary electrical systems from the point of time when the reactor is made critical to when the average reactor coolant temperature is heated above 350 -F. The amendment would also have changed the associated action that must be taken when the TS conditions cannot be met to require a plant cooldown to below 350 -F.

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/
