has this complicated process been

analyzed by individual states to fully

understand its impact. The receipt must

have the ability to work individually

and jointly with parole boards, agency

administrators, supervision staff, and

treatment and service providers, in

order to effectively manage policy

development teams. The intent is that

the recipient of this award will take into

consideration the research and the

practical knowledge of responding to

violations, and from that knowledge

base, assist states to develop policy

driven practices for organizations to

follow. The resulting effect should allow

for a more rational utilization of prison

space, staff allocation (both in the field

and correctional facilities) and create a

meaningful return on the investment the

state makes in corrections.

The recipient of this cooperative

agreement must prepare a proposal that

describes their plan to meet the goals/

objective which should include a

schedule identifying benchmarks of

significant tasks in chart form.

Applicants must identify their key

project staff and the relevant expertise

of each. Also, the application should

indicate how it will work with NIC on

an announcement for marketing this

project; develop selection criteria; and

compile information on applicants

making application. The proposal

should present a methodology or

approach that the applicant proposes to

employ in providing technical

assistance to 6 paroling authorities that

would incorporate the following and

other elements deemed appropriate to

accomplishing the objectives of the

project:

• The process for taking decision

makers through analysis of past

practices for parole violations including

what data, information and decision

making policies and practices should be

identified, collected and analyzed.

• Develop descriptions of acceptable

responses to a range of violation

behaviors and identify the various

sanctions and interventions strategies to

consider.

• Develop future outcome or

performance measures for a policydriven parole violation process.

• Determine which dynamic

screening, classification and assessment

system(s) may contribute to improved

violation decision-making and how and

when such systems should be used.

• Develop a plan to design,

implement and operate interventions

consistent with the principles of

effective interventions aimed at

reducing risk by confronting parole

violators criminogenic needs.

Authority: Public Law 93–415.

Funds Available: This is a cooperative

agreement. A cooperative agreement is a

form of assistance relationship through

which the National Institute of

Corrections is involved during the

performance of the award. The award is

made to an organization who, in concert

with the Institute, will solicit and select

participating jurisdictions and provide

them with technical assistance. No

funds are transferred to state or local

government. The Community

Corrections Division will provide the

financial assistance in the form of a

cooperative agreement to an agency or

organization, who makes application.

This initiative emphasizes policy

development by paroling authorities in

partnership with supervision staff and

service delivery organizations. The

award will be limited to $250,000

(direct and indirect cost) and project

activity must be completed within 18

months of the date of award. Funds may

not be used for construction, or to

acquire or build real property. This

NUCLEAR REGULATORY

COMMISSION

[Docket Nos. 50–266 and 50–301]

Nuclear Management Company, LLC;

Notice of Withdrawal of Application for

Amendment to Facility Operating

License

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (the Commission) has

granted the request of Nuclear

Management Company, LLC (the

licensee) to withdraw its October 5,

1999, application for proposed

amendment to Facility Operating

License Nos. DPR–24 and DPR–27 for

the Point Beach Nuclear Plant, Units 1

and 2, located in Town of Two Creeks,

Manitowoc County, Wisconsin.

The proposed amendment would

have revised the Technical

Specifications (TSs) to eliminate

inconsistencies, principally related to

decay heat removal. The amendment is

no longer necessary because the

inconsistencies are being corrected as

part of a separate application dated

November 15, 1999, to convert Point

Beach’s current TSs to improved TSs.

The November 15, 1999, application is

currently being reviewed by the staff of

the Commission.

The Commission had previously

issued a Notice of Consideration of

Issuance of Amendment published in

the Federal Register on November 17,

1999 (64 FR 62717). However, by letter

dated December 19, 2000, the licensee

withdrew the proposed change.

For further details with respect to this

action, see the application for

amendment dated October 5, 1999, as

supplemented May 19, 2000, and the

licensee’s letter dated December 19,

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 5th day

of January 2001.

For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Senior Project Manager, Section 1, Project

Directorate III, Division of Licensing Project

Management, Office of Nuclear Reactor
