NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket Nos. STN 50-454, STN 50-455, STN 50-456, STN 50-457]


Exelon Generation Company, LLC; Notice of Withdrawal of 
Application for Amendment to Facility Operating License

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has granted 
the request of Exelon Generation Company, LLC (the licensee) to 
withdraw its March 19, 2002, application as supplemented by their 
letters dated November 26, 2002, and March 13, 2003, for proposed 
amendment to Facility Operating License Nos. NPF-37 and NPF-66 for the 
Byron Station, Units 1 and 2, located in Ogle County, Illinois, and 
Facility Operating License Nos. NPF-72 and NPF-77 for the Braidwood 
Station, Units 1 and 2, located in Will County, Illinois.
    The proposed amendment would have revised the method of controlling 
the fuel cycle unfavorable exposure time (UET) related to an 
anticipated transient without scram (ATWS) event. Specifically, the 
proposed change would have deleted TS 5.6.5.b.5 and appropriately would 
have revised the discussion of an ATWS event in the Updated Final 
Safety Analysis Report, Section 15.8, ``Anticipated Transient Without 
Scram.''
    The Commission had previously issued a Notice of Consideration of 
Issuance of Amendment published in the Federal Register on June 25, 
2002, (67 FR 42825). However, by letter dated March 13, 2003, the 
licensee withdrew the proposed change.
    For further details with respect to this action, see the 
application for amendment dated March 19, 2002, as supplemented by 
their letter November 26, 2002, and the licensee's letter dated March 
13, 2003, which withdrew the application for license amendment.
