SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has granted the 
request of Exelon Generation Company, LLC (the licensee), to withdraw 
its application dated October 20, 2016, for a proposed amendment to 
Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-29 and DPR-30, for Quad 
Cities Nuclear Power Station (QCNPS), Units 1 and 2, respectively. The 
proposed amendment request would support changes to the organization, 
staffing, and training requirements contained in Sections 1.0 and 5.0

operation of the reactor or placement or retention of fuel in the 
reactor pressure vessel. This proposed amendment also supports 
implementation of the Certified Fuel Handler training program.
