NUCLEAR REGULATORY
COMMISSION
[Docket Nos. 50–315 and 50–316]
Indiana Michigan Power Company;
Notice of Partial Withdrawal of
Application for Amendment to
Renewed Facility Operating License
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (the Commission) has
granted the request of Indiana Michigan
Power Company (the licensee) to
partially withdraw its November 3,
2006, as supplemented by letter dated
June 27, 2007, application for proposed
amendment to Renewed Facility
Operating License Nos. DPR–58 and
DPR–74 for the Donald C. Cook Nuclear
Plant, Units 1 and 2 (DCCNP–1 and
DCCNP–2), located in Berrien County,
Michigan.
The proposed amendment would
have revised the technical specifications
to reflect a plant modification that will
replace the reactor coolant system (RCS)
resistance temperature detectors (RTDs)
and bypass piping with fast-response
RTD detectors mounted in thermowells
directly in the primary loop piping of
DCCNP–2. The proposed TS changes
affect the applicable notes in the
DCCNP–2 TS surveillance requirement
for channel calibration of the
overtemperature differential
temperature (OTDT) and overpower
differential temperature (OPDT) reactor
trip system (RTS) functions. The
proposed change would also affect both
units’ TS Allowable Values (AV) for
OTDT and OPDT RTS functions.
The Commission had previously
issued a Notice of Consideration of
Issuance of Amendment published in
the Federal Register on January 3, 2007
(72 FR 153). However, by letter dated
June 27, 2007, the licensee withdrew the
proposed changes to the DCCNP–1 and
DCCNP–2 AV for OTDT and OPDT RTS
functions. The proposed changes to
DCCNP–2 TS that were not withdrawn
by the licensee were approved by
Amendment No. 280, dated September
19, 2007.
For further details with respect to this
action, see the application for
amendment dated November 3, 2006,
and the licensee’s letter dated June 27,
2007, which partially 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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Introduction
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) is considering the
issuance of a license amendment to
Byproduct Materials License No. 37–
11185–04. This license is held by
Franklin & Marshall College (the
Licensee), for its Main Campus
Facilities located off Harrisburg Pike in
Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Issuance of the
amendment would authorize release of
the Fackenthal Laboratories Building
(the Facility) for unrestricted use. The
Licensee requested this action in a letter
dated June 28, 2007, and responded
with additional information by letters
dated August 7 and 24, 2007. The NRC
