NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. 50-423]

Northeast Nuclear Energy Company; Notice of Withdrawal of

Application for Amendment to Facility Operating License

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has granted

the request of Northeast Nuclear Energy Company (the licensee) to

withdraw its April 28, 1997, application for proposed amendment to

Facility Operating License No. NPF-49 for the Millstone Nuclear Power

Station, Unit 3, located in New London County, Connecticut.

Technical Specification Surveillances 4.1.2.3.1, 4.1.2.4.1,

4.5.2.f, and 4.5.2.h require the charging and safety injection pumps to

be tested on a periodic basis and after modifications that alter

subsystem flow characteristics. The proposed amendment would have made

changes to these surveillance requirements.

The Commission had previously issued a Notice of Consideration of

Issuance of Amendment published in the Federal Register on June 4, 1997

(62 FR 30635). However, by letter dated October 15, 1997, the licensee

withdrew the proposed change.

For further details with respect to this action, see the

application for amendment dated April 28, 1997, and the licensee's

letter dated October 15, 1997, which withdrew the application for

license amendment. The above documents are available for public

inspection at the Commission's Public Document Room, the Gelman

Building, 2120 L Street, NW., Washington, DC, and at the local public

document room located at the Learning Resources Center, Three Rivers

Community-Technical College, 574 New London Turnpike, Norwich,

Connecticut, and the Waterford Library, ATTN: Vince Juliano, 49 Rope

Ferry Road, Waterford, Connecticut.

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 23rd day of October 1997.

For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

James W. Andersen,

Project Manager, Special Projects Office--Licensing Office of Nuclear

Reactor Regulation.
