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

a request by Northeast Nuclear Energy Company (the licensee) to

withdraw its November 21, 1995, application for an amendment to

Facility Operating License No. NPF-49, issued to the licensee for

operation of Millstone Nuclear Power Station, Unit No. 3, located in

New London County, Connecticut. A Notice of Consideration of Issuance

of this amendment was published in the Federal Register on March 27,

1996 (61 FR 13520).

The proposed change would have modified the facility Technical

Specifications (TSs) pertaining to TS Section 1.33 and Bases Sections

3/4.3.3.9, 3/4.3.3.10, and 3/4.11.2.1. The change would have clarified

the definition of source check to include a source check from a light

emitting diode, as well as from ionizing radiation.

Subsequently, the licensee informed the staff that the amendment is

no longer required. Thus, the amendment application is considered to be

withdrawn by the licensee.

For further details with respect to this action, see (1) the

application for amendment dated November 21, 1995; and (2) the staff's

letters dated July 14, 1998, and July 30, 1998.

These 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 rooms 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 30th day of July 1998.

For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
