NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. 50-400]


Carolina Power & Light 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 Carolina Power & Light Company (the licensee) to 
partially withdraw its August 18, 2005, application for proposed 
amendment to Facility Operating License No. NPF-63 for Shearon Harris 
Nuclear Power Plant, Unit No. 1 (HNP), located in Wake and Chatham 
Counties, North Carolina.
    The proposed amendment would have allowed the use of fire-resistive 
electrical cable at HNP for protection of safe shutdown electrical 
cables. On May 1, 2006, the NRC staff issued Amendment No. 123 to the 
HNP Facility Operating License authorizing the use of fire-resistive 
electrical cable for the specific application of the volume control 
tank outlet valves, 1CS-165 and 1CS-166, in certain fire areas. In 
addition, the NRC staff stated that it would continue to review the 
proposed changes in the final safety analysis report to reflect the use 
of the fire-resistive electrical cable in other applications. The 
licensee requested to discontinue the review of the proposed changes to 
reflect the use of the fire-resistive electrical cable in other 
applications.
    The Commission had previously issued a Notice of Consideration of 
Issuance of Amendment published in

the Federal Register on November 8, 2005 (70 FR 67745). However, by 
letter dated June 5, 2006, the licensee partially withdrew the proposed 
change.
    For further details with respect to this action, see the 
application for amendment dated August 18, 2005, as supplemented by 
letter dated February 15, 2006, and the licensee's letter dated June 5, 
2006, which withdrew the application for license amendment. Documents
