NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket Nos. 50-373 and 50-374; NRC-2011-0234]


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

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC, the Commission) has 
granted the request of Exelon Generation Company, LLC (Exelon, or the 
licensee) to withdraw its May 6, 2011, application for proposed 
amendment to Facility Operating License No. NPF-11 and Facility 
Operating License No. NPF-18 for LaSalle County Station, Units 1 and 2, 
respectively, in LaSalle County, Illinois.
    The proposed amendment would have revised Technical Specification 
3.7.3, ``Ultimate Heat Sink,'' to reduce the allowed sedimentation in 
the core standby cooling system (CSCS) pond from <=1.5 feet to <=1.0 
feet, which allows the temperature of the cooling water supplied to the 
plant to be increased from <=101.25 [deg]F to <=101.95 [deg]F, 
resulting in a higher volume of cooling water available in the CSCS 
pond.
    The Commission had previously issued a Notice of Consideration of 
Issuance of Amendment published in the Federal Register on June 28, 
2011 (76 FR 37847). However, by letter dated September 14, 2011, the 
licensee withdrew the proposed change.
    For further details with respect to this action, see the 
application for amendment dated May 6, 2011, and the licensee's letter 
dated September 14, 2011, which withdrew the application for license 
amendment. Documents may be examined, and/or copied for a fee, at the 
NRC's Public Document Room (PDR), located at One White Flint North, 
Room O1-F21, 11555 Rockville Pike (first floor), Rockville, Maryland 
20852. Publicly available records will be accessible electronically 
from the Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) 
Public Electronic Reading Room on the Internet at the NRC Web site, 
http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html. Persons who do not have

at 1-800-397-4209, or 301-415-4737 or by e-mail to

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 27th day of September, 2011.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Project Manager, Plant Licensing Branch III-2, Division of Operating
