The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has granted the request of Wisconsin Electric Power Company (the licensee) to withdraw its February 28, 1998, application for amendments to Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-24 and DPR-27 for the Point Beach Nuclear Plants, Units 1 and 2, respectively, located in Two Rivers, Wisconsin.
