Download as PDF mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 132 / Monday, July 13, 2009 / Notices Sharing alliance and the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI), respectively. On July 18, 2008, the NRC staff discussed these comments during a public meeting with NEI and industry representatives, as documented in ‘‘Summary of the License Renewal Meeting Held between the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Staff and the Nuclear Energy Institute,’’ dated October 3, 2008 (ML082480547). Overall, the comments indicated that the NRC staff’s proposed guidance is too prescriptive and does not acknowledge the unique design aspects of each plant, as reflected in the plant’s current licensing basis. The NRC staff evaluated both the comments submitted in writing, and those provided during the July 18, 2008, meeting and subsequent public license renewal meetings, and determined that the proposed clarification in LR–ISG– 2008–01 is unnecessary because the NRC staff’s review of license renewal applications is based on the plantspecific current licensing bases, regulatory requirements, and offsite power design configurations. As such, the NRC staff will continue to review license renewal applications against the acceptance criteria in SRP–LR section 2.5.2.1.1 to ensure applicants include within the scope of license renewal the systems, structures, and components that perform functions to demonstrate compliance with the Station Blackout Rule, as required by 10 CFR 54.4(a)(3). Therefore, by this action, the NRC is withdrawing LR–ISG–2008–01.

DPR–29 and DPR–30 for the Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station, Units 1 and 2, located in Rock Island County, Illinois. The proposed amendment would have revised the Technical Specifications Surveillance Requirements to establish an acceptance criterion to verify that total battery connector resistances for the 125 and 250 volt direct current batteries are within pre-established limits that ensure the batteries can perform their design function. The Commission had previously issued a Notice of Consideration of Issuance of Amendment published in the Federal Register on February 26, 2008 (73 FR 10298) and December 30, 2008 (73 FR 79932). However, by letter dated June 25, 2009, the licensee withdrew the proposed change. E:\FR\FM\13JYN1.SGM 13JYN1
