SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NRC has granted the request, dated June 
17, 2019 (ADAMS Accession No. ML19169A031), of Exelon Generation 
Company, LLC (the licensee) to withdraw its application, dated December 
14, 2018 (ADAMS Accession No. ML18351A006), for proposed amendment to 
Renewed Facility Operating License No. DPR-50 for the Three Mile Island 
Nuclear Station, Unit 1, located in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania.
    The amendment would have revised Technical Specification 6.8.5 
``Reactor Building Leakage Rate Testing Program.'' The amendment would 
have allowed for a one-cycle extension to the 10-year frequency of the 
Three Mile Island Nuclear Station, Unit 1, containment leakage rate 
test (i.e., ILRT or Type A test). The proposed change would have 
permitted the existing ILRT to be extended from 10 years to 11.75 
years. This extension would have moved the performance of the next ILRT 
from the scheduled fall 2019 refueling outage to the fall 2021 
refueling outage.
    Exelon's December 14, 2018, request was noticed in the Federal 
Register on March 26, 2019 (84 FR 11338).

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 14th day of August, 2019.
    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
James G. Danna,
Chief, Plant Licensing Branch I, Division of Operating Reactor 
Licensing, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
