NUCLEAR REGULATORY
COMMISSION
[Docket No. 50–285]
Omaha Public Power District Notice of
Withdrawal of Application for
Amendment to Facility Operating
License
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (the Commission) has
granted the request of Omaha Public
Power District (the licensee) to
withdraw its May 14, 2004, application
for proposed amendment to Facility
Operating License No. DPR–40 for the
Fort Calhoun Station, Unit No. 1 (FCS),
located in Washington County,
Nebraska.
The proposed amendment would
have revised the Technical
Specifications Section 2.3(2)b,
‘‘Modification of Minimum
Requirements.’’ Specifically, the
proposed change would have provided
a risk-informed alternative to the
existing restoration period for the HighPressure Safety Injection System.
The Commission had previously
issued a Notice of Consideration of
Issuance of Amendment published in
the Federal Register on July 6, 2004 (69
FR 40677). However, by letter dated
August 25, 2006, the licensee withdrew
the proposed change.
For further details with respect to this
action, see the application for
amendment dated May 14, 2004, and
the licensee’s letter dated August 25,
2006, 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 (first floor), Rockville,
Maryland. Publicly available records
will be accessible electronically from
the Agencywide Documents Access and

Nuclear Regulatory
Commission.
ACTION: Request for comment.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that
the staff of the Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) has prepared a
model licensee application relating to
the modification of shutdown testing
requirements in technical specifications
(TS) for Boiling Water Reactors (BWR).
The purpose of this model is to permit
the NRC to efficiently process
amendments that propose to modify
LCO 3.10.1 that would allow control rod
scram time testing to be performed
concurrently with inservice leak and
hydrostatic testing. Licensees of nuclear
power reactors to which the model
applies could then request amendments,
confirming the applicability to their
reactors. The NRC staff is requesting
comment on the model application prior
to announcing its availability for license
amendment applications. A model

DATES: The comment period expires
October 25, 2006. Comments received

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Regulatory Issue Summary 2000–06,
‘‘Consolidated Line Item Improvement
Process for Adopting Standard
Technical Specification Changes for
Power Reactors,’’ was issued on March
20, 2000. The consolidated line item
improvement process (CLIIP) is
intended to improve the efficiency of
NRC licensing processes by processing
proposed changes to the standard
technical specifications (STS) in a
manner that supports subsequent
license amendment applications. The
CLIIP includes an opportunity for the
public to comment on a proposed
change to the STS after a preliminary
assessment by the NRC staff and a
finding that the change will likely be
offered for adoption by licensees. A
model safety evaluation and no
significant hazards determination
regarding the proposed changes to LCO
3.10.1 have been previously posted in
the Federal Register for comment on
August 21, 2006 (71 FR 48561). This
notice solicits comment on a proposed
model licensee application that would
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 208001
modify LCO 3.10.1 to allow control rod
scram time testing to be performed
concurrently with inservice leak and
hydrostatic testing.
Applicability
Licensees opting to apply for this TS
change are responsible for reviewing the
staff’s evaluation, referencing the
applicable technical justifications, and
providing any necessary plant-specific
information. Each amendment
application made in response to the
notice of availability will be processed
and noticed in accordance with
applicable rules and NRC procedures.
Public Notices
This notice requests comments from
interested members of the public within
30 days of the date of publication in the
Federal Register. After evaluating the
comments received as a result of this
notice, the staff will either reconsider
the proposed change or announce the
availability of the change in a
subsequent notice (perhaps with some
changes to the safety evaluation or the
proposed no significant hazards
consideration determination as a result
of public comments). If the staff
announces the availability of the
change, licensees wishing to adopt the
change must submit an application in
accordance with applicable rules and
other regulatory requirements. For each
application the staff will publish a
notice of consideration of issuance of
amendment to facility operating
licenses, a proposed no significant
hazards consideration determination,
and a notice of opportunity for a
hearing. The staff will also publish a
notice of issuance of an amendment to
an operating license to announce the
modification of TS 3.10.1, Inservice
Leak and Hydrostatic Testing, for each
plant that receives the requested change.
