SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NRC has granted the request of Entergy
to withdraw its September 1, 2016, application (ADAMS accession no.

NPF-38 for Waterford 3, located in St. Charles Parish, Louisiana.
The amendment would have revised the Waterford 3 TSs to relocate
the surveillance frequency requirements for selected ESFAS Subgroup
relays to a licensee-controlled program. Specifically, the license

``Engineered Safety Features Actuation System Instrumentation

additional relays to the Waterford 3 SFCP. The Commission previously
published a proposed finding in the Federal Register on November 22,

By letter dated March 22, 2017 (ADAMS accession no. ML17082A459), the
licensee requested to withdraw the proposed amendment.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 25th day of April, 2017.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
