IES Utilities Inc., Central Iowa Power Cooperative, Corn Belt Power Cooperative, and Duane Arnold Energy Center; Notice of Withdrawal of Applications for Amendments to Facility Operating License

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has granted the request of IES Utilities Inc. (the licensee) to withdraw its applications dated May 9, 1997 (two letters), and January 9, 1998, for proposed amendments to Facility Operating License No. DPR-49 for the Duane Arnold Energy Center, located in Linn County, Iowa.

The proposed amendments would have modified the facility technical specifications by (1) revising the definitions of Limiting Safety System Setting and Instrument/Channel Calibration; (2) revising the definition of Limiting Conditions for Operation (LCO); and (3) revising the LCO for primary containment isolation valves.

For further details with respect to this action, see the applications for amendment dated May 9, 1997 (two letters), and January 9, 1998, and the licensee's letter dated July 31, 1998, which withdrew the applications for license amendments. The above documents are available for public inspection at the Commission's Public Document Room, 2120 L Street, NW., Washington, DC 20555, and at the local public document room located at the Cedar Rapids Public Library, 500 First Street, SE., Cedar Rapids, Iowa 52401.
