# Yankee Atomic Electric Company; Notice of Withdrawal of Application for Amendment to the Possession Only License
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has granted the request of Yankee Atomic Electric Company (the licensee) to withdraw its March 17, 1999, application for proposed amendment to the Possession Only License No. DPR-3 for the Yankee Nuclear Power Station, located in Rowe, Massachusetts.
The proposed amendment would have revised the Yankee Nuclear Power Station's Defueled Technical Specifications by transferring the administrative requirements to the Yankee Decommissioning Quality Assurance Program.
The Commission had previously issued a Notice of Consideration of Issuance of Amendment published in the *Federal Register* on April 7, 1999 (64 FR 17032). However, by letter dated April 23, 1999, the licensee withdrew the proposed change.
For further details with respect to this action, see the application for amendment dated March 17, 1999, and the licensee's letter dated April 23, 1999, which withdrew the application for license amendment.
