withdraw its May 19, 1995, application

for proposed amendment to Facility

Operating License Nos. DPR–77 and

coefficient.

The Commission had previously

issued a Notice of Consideration of

Issuance of Amendment published in

made a decision to withdraw the

proposed change on December 17, 1996

on the basis that the change is no longer

required. This notice is to document

withdrawal of the subject amendment

request.

For further details with respect to this

action, see the application for

amendment dated May 19, 1995.

The above document is available for
