NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. 50-302]


Florida Power Corporation; Notice of Withdrawal of Application 
for Amendment to Facility Operating License

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC, the Commission) has 
granted the request of Florida Power Corporation (FPC, the licensee) to 
withdraw its July 31, 2007, application for proposed amendment to 
Facility Operating License No. DPR-72 for the Crystal River Unit 3 
Nuclear Generating Plant (CR-3) located in Citrus County, Florida.
    The proposed amendment would have revised the technical 
specifications to impose more restrictive voltage and frequency limits 
during surveillance testing of the emergency diesel generators.
    The Commission had previously issued a Notice of Consideration of 
Issuance of Amendment published in the Federal Register on January 29, 
2008 (73 FR 5222). Subsequently, by letter dated June 19, 2008 
(Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession 
No. ML081770040), the licensee withdrew the amendment request, and 
stated that FPC will continue to maintain administrative control of the 
emergency diesel generator voltage and frequency limits as described in 
the referenced license amendment request (LAR) submittal. In addition, 
the licensee plans to resubmit this LAR under a new identification 
number after additional evaluations have been completed.
    Further on July 24, 2008, in response to the NRC staff request for 
additional information, FPC: (1) Explained the basis for withdrawal of 
the amendment request, (2) committed to resubmit the amendment by 
November 7, 2008, and (3) provided assurance that the short term 
administrative controls, taken as corrective action in accordance with 
the guidance contained in NRC Administrative Letter 98-10, are 
effective and will remain in place until the LAR implementation.
    For further details with respect to this action, see the 
application for amendment dated July 31, 2007, and the licensee's 
letters dated June 19 and July 24, 2008, 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 ADAMS Public Electronic Reading Room 
on the internet at the NRC Web site, http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm.html. Persons who do not have access to ADAMS or who encounter

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 29 day of July, 2008.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
