SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NRC has granted the request of Exelon to withdraw its application dated October 29, 2020 (ADAMS Package Accession No. ML20304A147) for proposed amendments to Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. NPF–37 and NPF–66 for Byron Station, Unit Nos. 1 and 2, respectively, which are located in Ogle County, Illinois. Exelon is the licensee that owns and operates Byron. The proposed amendments would have changed the Byron TSs to permit changes in plant operations when the plants are permanently shut down and defueled. Specifically, the proposed amendments would have revised the Byron renewed facility operating licenses and TSs following the permanent cessation of power operations to reflect the post-shutdown and permanently defueled condition of the units. The proposed amendments would have eliminated TS requirements and license conditions that would not have been applicable once Byron ceased power operations and could no longer place fuel in the reactor vessels. The proposed amendments would have also eliminated obsolete license conditions. Additionally, the proposed amendments would have revised several license conditions and TS requirements, including limiting conditions for operation, usage rules, definitions, surveillance requirements, and administrative controls. The licensing bases for Byron, including the design bases accident analysis, would have also been revised. The Commission previously issued a proposed finding that the proposed amendments involve no significant hazards consideration published in the Federal Register on December 29, 2020 (85 FR 85677). However, by letter dated September 15, 2021 (ADAMS Accession No. ML21258A276), Exelon requested to withdraw the proposed amendments. Dated: September 28, 2021. For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
