# Southern Nuclear Operating Company (SNC); Notice of Withdrawal of Application for Amendment to Renewed Facility Operating License
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has granted the request of SNC (the licensee) to withdraw its application dated July 20, 2004, for a proposed amendment to Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-57 and NPF-5 for the Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2, respectively, located in Appling County, Georgia.
The proposed amendment would have revised the Administrative Controls Section 5.3.1 of the technical specifications and replaced the specific designation for the Health Physics Superintendent with a reference to the senior individual in charge of Health Physics, and to add flexibility to the qualification requirements for the unit staff positions.
The Commission had previously issued a Notice of Consideration of Issuance of Amendment published in the *Federal Register* on September 28, 2004 (69 FR 57993). However, by letter dated June 27, 2005, the licensee withdrew the proposed change.
For further details with respect to this action, see the application for amendment dated July 20, 2004, and the licensee's letter dated June 27, 2005, which withdrew the application for license amendment. Documents may be examined, and/or copied for a fee, at the NRC's Public Document Room (PDR), located at One White Flint North, Public File Area O1 F21, 11555 Rockville Pike (first floor), Rockville, Maryland.
