NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

Tennessee Valley Authority
[Docket No. 50-390]


Notice of Partial Withdrawal of Application for Amendment to 
Facility Operating License

    The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has granted a 
request by the Tennessee Valley Authority (the Licensee) to withdraw 
the remainder of its October 23, 1996, application for proposed 
amendment to Facility Operating License No. NPF-90 for the Watts Bar 
Nuclear Plant, located in Rhea County, Tennessee.
    The remaining portion of the application that was not approved by 
license amendment number 6, issued on July 28, 1997, proposed the 
installation of spent fuel racks in the cask pit area of the spent fuel 
pool for an additional 225 storage spaces and the use of an impact 
shield over the fuel in the cask pit when heavy loads are moved near or 
across the cask pit area.
    The Commission had previously issued a Notice of Consideration of 
Issuance of Amendment published in the Federal Register on April 2, 
1997 (62 FR 15733). However, by letter dated July 22, 1999, the 
licensee withdrew that portion of the proposed amendment related to 
storage in the cask pit.
    For further details with respect to this action, see the 
application for amendment dated October 23, 1996, Amendment to Facility 
Operating License Number 6 issued on July 28, 1997, and the licensee's 
letter dated July 22, 1999. 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 Chattanooga-Hamilton County Library, 1001 
Broad Street, Chattanooga, TN 37402.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 1st day of September 1999.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Robert E. Martin,
Senior Project Manager, Section 2, Project Directorate II, Division of 
Licensing Project Management, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
