NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. 50-354]


PSEG Nuclear, LLC; Notice of Withdrawal of Application for 
Amendment to Facility Operating License

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has granted 
the request of PSEG Nuclear, LLC (the licensee) to withdraw Public 
Service Electric & Gas Company's (PSE&G) December 28, 1998, application 
for proposed amendment to Facility Operating License No. NPF-57 for the 
Hope Creek Generating Station (HCGS), located in Salem County, New 
Jersey.

[[Page 55308]]

On August 21, 2000, the license for HCGS, to the extent held by PSE&G, 
was transferred to PSEG Nuclear Limited Liability Company (PSEG 
Nuclear). By letter dated September 6, 2000, PSEG Nuclear stated that 
they have assumed responsibility for the active items on the Hope Creek 
docket previously submitted by PSE&G as of the date of the transfer.
    The proposed amendment would have revised the technical 
specifications to increase the allowable leak rate of the main steam 
isolation valves (MSIV) and delete the MSIV Sealing System.
    The Commission had previously issued a Notice of Consideration of 
Issuance of Amendment published in the Federal Register on February 10, 
1999 (64 FR 6707). However, by letter dated August 29, 2000, the 
licensee withdrew the proposed change.
    For further details with respect to this action, see the 
application for amendment dated December 28, 1998, and the licensee's 
letter dated August 29, 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 7th day of September 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.
