NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. 50-354]


Public Service Electric & Gas Company (PSE&G); Notice of 
Withdrawal of Application for Amendment to Facility Operating License

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has granted 
the request of PSE&G (the licensee) to withdraw its February 24, 2000, 
application for proposed amendment to Facility Operating License No. 
NPF-57 for the Hope Creek Generating Station, located in Salem County, 
New Jersey.
    The proposed amendment would have approved a revision to the Hope 
Creek Generating Station Updated Final Safety Analysis Report to 
reflect the use of the Mechanical Vacuum Pumps to evacuate the 
condenser during plant startup at power levels less than or equal to 
5%.
    The Commission had previously issued a Notice of Consideration of 
Issuance of Amendment published in the Federal Register on March 22, 
2000 (65 FR15384). However, by letter dated July 31, 2000, the licensee 
withdrew the proposed change.
    For further details with respect to this action, see the 
application for amendment dated February 24, 2000, and the licensee's 
letter dated July 31, 2000, 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 accessible electronically through the 
ADAMS Public Electronic Reading Room link at the NRC Web site
(http://www.nrc.gov).

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 14th day of August, 2000.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
John Harrison,
Project Manager, Section 2, Project Directorate I, Division of 
Licensing Project Management, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
