SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NRC has granted the request of Exelon 
Generation Company, LLC (the licensee) to withdraw its September 27, 
2018, application (ADAMS Accession No. ML18271A009) for proposed 
amendments to Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-44 and DPR-56 
for the Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, Units 2 and 3, respectively, 
located in York County, Pennsylvania.
    The proposed amendments would have authorized revisions to TS 
3.3.6.2, ``Secondary Containment Isolation Instrumentation,'' to modify 
the applicability of Functions 3 and 4. Specifically, Function 3 
(reactor building ventilation exhaust radiation--high) would have been 
revised to only be required when Function 4 (refueling floor 
ventilation exhaust radiation--high) was not maintained. Function 4 
would have been revised to only be required when Function 3 was not 
maintained. Further, this change would have clarified which standby gas 
treatment subsystems were required to be put into operation or declared 
inoperable as described in TS 3.3.6.2, Condition C, for Required 
Actions C.2.1 and C.2.2.
    On November 20, 2018, a Federal Register notice was published (83 
FR 58612) indicating a finding of no significant impact for the 
proposed license amendment. On March 11, 2019 (ADAMS Accession No. 
ML19071A062), the licensee sent a letter requesting withdrawal of the 
license amendment application.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 21st day of March, 2019.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Jennifer C. Tobin,
Project Manager, Plant Licensing Branch LPL-1, Division of Operating 
Reactor Licensing, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
