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 July 25, 2003, 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 facility technical 
specifications pertaining to FCS Technical Specification Section 3.0.2, 
Table 3-2, Table 3-5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, and the Definitions Section. This 
proposed change would have provided a risk-informed alternative to the 
existing surveillance interval for the integrated Engineered Safety 
Features (ESF) and Loss-of-Offsite Power testing required to be 
performed on each ESF equipment train during each outage. The proposed 
change would have modified the surveillance interval requirement for 
these refueling interval surveillance requirements to go to a staggered 
test basis scheme. Using a staggered test basis, only one train would 
be tested each refueling outage. Omaha Public Power District stated 
that this amendment was modeled after the Improved Standard Technical 
Specifications and is based on a study conducted by the Westinghouse 
Electric Company, LLC on behalf of the Combustion Engineering Owners 
Group in topical report WCAP-15830-P, ``Staggered Integrated ESF 
Testing,'' and Technical Specification Task Force 450.
    The Commission had previously issued a Notice of Consideration of 
Issuance of Amendment published in the Federal Register on August 19, 
2003 (68 FR 49818). However, by letter dated September 9, 2005, the 
licensee withdrew the proposed change.
    For further details with respect to this action, see the 
application for amendment dated July 25, 2003, and the
