NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket Nos. 50-334 and 50-412]


Pennsylvania Power Company, Ohio Edison Company, the Cleveland 
Electric Illuminating Company, the Toledo Edison Company, FirstEnergy 
Nuclear Operating Company; Notice of Partial Withdrawal of Application 
for Amendment to Facility Operating License

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has granted 
the request of FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company, et al. (the 
licensee), to partially withdraw its application for proposed amendment 
to Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-66 and NPF-73 for the Beaver 
Valley Power Station, Unit Nos. 1 and 2 (BVPS-1 and 2), located in 
Beaver County, Pennsylvania.
    The request to review related Updated Final Safety Analysis Report 
(UFSAR) pages submitted with the licensee's February 14, 2003, 
submittal was withdrawn in its March 31, 2003, submittal. The 
licensee's request to modify TS 3.6.2.2, ``Containment Recirculation 
Spray System,'' by reducing the required recirculation spray heat 
exchanger minimum river/service water flow rate in surveillance 
requirement (SR) 4.6.2.2.e.3, was withdrawn by its March 19, 2003, 
letter. The changes were no longer necessary as Amendment Nos. 252 and 
132 for BVPS-1 and BVPS-2, respectively, relocated SR 4.6.2.2.e.3 to 
each unit's UFSAR. The licensee's requested changes related to 
conversion of the BVPS-1 and 2 containments from subatmospheric to 
atmospheric operating conditions was withdrawn by its September 5, 
2003, submittal.
    The Commission had previously issued a Notice of Consideration of 
Issuance of Amendment published in the Federal Register on December 10, 
2002 (67 FR 75876). However, by letters dated March 19 and 31, and 
September 5, 2003, the licensee withdrew the portions of the proposed 
changes as stated above.
    For further details with respect to this action, see the 
application for amendment dated June 5, 2002, as supplemented August 19 
and December 2, 2002, and January 30, February 14, March 19 and 31, 
June 6 and 24, and September 5, 2003. The licensee's letters dated 
March 19 and 31, and September 5, 2003, withdrew a portion of 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
