<p>Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
<p>Target region NOAA 1515 continues to maintain a complex
F-type/beta-gamma-delta sunspot group but has lost some
of its strongest delta configuration.  1515 was the source of
countless C-class events and a few low-level M-class events
during the past 24 hours.  At this time we are suspending
the MM#018 (Region Likely To Produce Great Flares) observing
plan and return to the Major Flare Watch plan.  An X-class event
=/&gt;X5 is less likely in the next 24 hours.  1515 still has
the potential to produce an M-class event =/&gt;M5.  The large
region near the southeast limb (S17E77) could also be a source
of an M-class event. <p>The position of NOAA 1515 on July 06 at 13:00 UT is:
S17W44 (Solar X = 628&quot;, Solar Y = -315&quot;)
