SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NRC has granted the request of Tennessee 
Valley Authority (the licensee) to withdraw its October 2, 2013, 
application (ADAMS Accession No. ML13280A267) for proposed amendment to 
Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-77 and DPR-79 issued to the 
licensee for operation of the Sequoyah Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2, 
located in Hamilton County, Tennessee.
    The licensee requested to revise Units 1 and 2 TSs 3.7.5, 
``Ultimate Heat Sink,'' to place additional limitations on the maximum 
average Essential Raw Cooling Water (ERCW) System supply header water 
temperature during operation with one ERCW pump per loop and operation 
with one ERCW supply strainer per loop. In addition, the one-time 
limitations on Unit 1 ultimate heat sink (UHS) temperature and the 
associated license condition requirements used for the Unit 2 steam 
generator replacement project are proposed to be deleted. The proposed 
changes would place additional temperature limitations on the UHS TS 
Limiting Condition for Operation 3.7.5 with associated required 
actions, to support maintenance on plant component without requiring a 
dual unit shutdown.
    This proposed amendment request was noticed in 78 FR 74184 dated 
December 10, 2013 and supplemented by letters dated December 11, 2013 
(ML13354A715), August 18, 2014 (ML14231B294) and October 22, 2015 
(ML15295A427).

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 28th day of October 2015.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Shana R. Helton,
Chief, Plant Licensing Branch II-2, Division of Operating Reactor 
Licensing, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
