[Docket Nos. 50–325 and 50–324] 

Carolina Power & Light Company; 

Brunswick Steam Electric Plant, Units 

1 and 2; 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 Carolina Power & 

Light Company (the licensee) to 

withdraw its August 13, 2007, 

application, as supplemented by letter 

dated June 19, 2008, for proposed 

amendments to Facility Operating 

License Nos. 325 and 50–324 for 

Brunswick Steam Electric Plant, Units 1 

and 2 (BSEP), located in Brunswick 

County, North Carolina. 

The proposed amendment would 

have revised BSEP’s Technical 

Specification (TS) Table 3.3.1.2–1, 

‘‘Source Range Monitor [SRM] 

Instrumentation,’’ to add a footnote that 

specifies the required locations of 

operable SRMs in Mode 5 during core 

alternations, and to make an 

administrative correction to 

Surveillance Requirement 3.3.1.2.2 in 

the Unit 1 TSs. 

The Commission had previously 

issued a Notice of Consideration of 

Issuance of Amendment published in 

the Federal Register on February 26, 

2008 (73 FR 1025). Subsequently, the 

licensee determined to no longer pursue 

NRC approval of the proposed license 

amendments and by letter dated 

September 22, 2008, the licensee 

withdrew the request. 

For further details with respect to this 

action, see the application for 

amendments dated August 13, 2007, as 

supplemented by letter dated June 19, 

2008, and the licensee’s letter dated 

September 22, 2008, which withdrew 

the application for license amendments.
