Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc.; James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear 
Power Plant

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: License amendment application; withdrawal by applicant.

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has granted the 
request of Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (Entergy, the licensee), to 
withdraw its application dated February 4, 2016, for a proposed 
amendment to Facility Operating License No. DPR-59. The proposed

defueling.
