Arizona Public Service Co.; Notice of Withdrawal of Application 
for Approval of Transfer of Facility Operating Licenses and Conforming 
Amendments

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has 
permitted the withdrawal of the application dated April 15, 2002, as 
supplemented by letter dated July 11, 2002, filed by Arizona Public 
Service Company (APS) and Pinnacle West Energy Corporation (PWE), which 
had requested approval of the transfer of the Facility Operating 
License Nos. NPF-41, NPF-51, and NPF-74 for the Palo Verde Nuclear 
Generating Station (Palo Verde), Units 1, 2, and 3, to the extent held 
by APS, to PWE, in connection with a proposed restructuring of APS. The 
application also requested approval, pursuant to 10 CFR 50.90, of 
proposed conforming amendments. Palo Verde, Units 1, 2, and 3, are 
located in Maricopa County, Arizona.
    The Commission had previously issued a Notice of Consideration of 
Approval of Transfer of Facility Operating Licenses and Conforming 
Amendments, and Opportunity for a Hearing, which was published in the 
Federal Register on July 29, 2002 (67 FR 49044). However, by letter 
dated December 23, 2002, APS and PWE withdrew the application.
