Duke Energy Corporation; Notice of Withdrawal of Application for 
Amendment to Facility Operating License

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has granted 
the request of Duke Energy Corporation (the licensee) to withdraw its 
October 15, 2003, application for proposed amendment to Facility 
Operating License No. NPF-35 for the Catawba Nuclear Station, Unit No. 
1, located in York County, South Carolina.
    The proposed amendment would have revised the Technical 
Specifications to allow the continued operation of Catawba Unit 1 with 
only one fully-operable train of the Containment Spray System until

Issuance of Amendment published in the The Herald newspaper on October

withdrew the proposed change.

application for amendment dated October 15, 2003, and the licensee's 
letter dated October 22, 2003, which withdrew the application for 
license amendment. Documents may be examined, and/or copied for a fee,
