Southern Nuclear Operating Company
(SNC); Notice of Withdrawal of
Application for Amendment to
Renewed Facility Operating License
NUCLEAR REGULATORY
COMMISSION
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (the Commission) has
granted the request of SNC (the licensee)
to withdraw its application dated July
20, 2004, for a proposed amendment to
Renewed Facility Operating License
Nos. DPR–57 and NPF–5 for the Edwin
I. Hatch Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2,
respectively, located in Appling County,
Georgia.
The proposed amendment would
have revised the Administrative
Controls Section 5.3.1 of the technical
specifications and replaced the specific
designation for the Health Physics
Superintendent with a reference to the
senior individual in charge of Health
Physics, and to add flexibility to the
qualification requirements for the unit
staff positions.
The Commission had previously
issued a Notice of Consideration of
Issuance of Amendment published in
the Federal Register on September 28,
2004 (69 FR 57993). However, by letter
dated June 27, 2005, the licensee
withdrew the proposed change.
For further details with respect to this
action, see the application for
amendment dated July 20, 2004, and the
licensee’s letter dated June 27, 2005,
which withdrew the application for
license amendment. Documents may be
examined, and/or copied for a fee, at the
NRC’s Public Document Room (PDR),
located at One White Flint North, Public
File Area O1 F21, 11555 Rockville Pike

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC or the Commission)
is considering issuance of an
amendment to Facility Operating
License No. DPR–33, issued to
Tennessee Valley Authority (the
licensee), for operation of the Browns
Ferry Nuclear Plant (BFN), Unit 1,
located in Limestone County, Alabama.
The proposed amendment would
change the BFN, Unit 1, operating
license to increase the maximum
authorized power level from 3293
megawatts thermal (MWt) to 3952 MWt.
This change represents an increase of
approximately 20 percent above the
current maximum authorized power
level. The proposed amendment would
also change the BFN, Unit 1, licensing
bases and any associated Technical
Specifications for containment
overpressure, the maximum ultimate
heat sink temperature, and the upper
bound peak cladding temperature.
Before issuance of the proposed
license amendment, the Commission
will have made findings required by the
Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended
(the Act), and the Commission’s
regulations.
Within 60 days after the date of
publication of this notice, the licensee
may file a request for a hearing with
respect to issuance of the amendment to
the subject facility operating license and
any person whose interest may be
affected by this proceeding and who
wishes to participate as a party in the
proceeding must file a written request
for a hearing and a petition for leave to
intervene. Requests for a hearing and a
petition for leave to intervene shall be
filed in accordance with the
Commission’s ‘‘Rules of Practice for

specific statement of the issue of law or
fact to be raised or controverted. In
addition, the petitioner/requestor shall
provide a brief explanation of the bases
for the contention and a concise
statement of the alleged facts or expert
opinion which support the contention
and on which the petitioner intends to
