NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. 50-255]


Consumers 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 Consumers Energy Company (the licensee) to withdraw its 
August 28, 2000, application for proposed amendment to Facility 
Operating License No. DPR-20 for the Palisades Plant, located in 
Covert, Michigan.
    The proposed amendment would have revised the date for implementing 
the Palisades Plant Improved Technical Specifications as established by 
Amendment No. 189, dated November 30, 1999. The implementation date 
would have been changed from ``on or before October 31, 2000,'' to ``on 
or before December 31, 2000.'' In its letter dated October 24, 2000, 
the licensee stated that Amendment No. 189 was implemented on October 
24, 2000, and that the requested delay of implementing Amendment No. 
189 was no longer needed. Therefore, the licensee requested that the 
amendment application be withdrawn.
    The Commission had previously issued a Notice of Consideration of 
Issuance of Amendment published in the Federal Register on September 
20, 2000 (65 FR 56949). However, by letter dated October 24, 2000, the 
licensee withdrew the proposed change.
    For further details with respect to this action, see the 
application for amendment dated August 28, 2000, and the licensee's 
letter dated October 24, 2000, which withdrew the application for 
license amendment. Documents may be examined, and/or copied for a fee, 
at the NRC's Public Document Room, located at One White Flint North, 
11555 Rockville Pike (first floor), Rockville, Maryland, 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 6th day of November 2000.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Darl S. Hood,
Senior Project Manager, Section 1, Project Directorate III, Division of 
Licensing Project Management, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
