SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: By letter dated November 13, 2018 (ADAMS 
Accession No. ML18318A428), ND submitted an application requesting that 
the NRC consent to the transfer of the CPs for the BLN, Units 1 and 2 
from the TVA to ND. In its application, ND also requested that the NRC 
issue conforming administrative amendments and amend the CPs to reflect 
the revised completion dates discussed in the application. On November 
5, 2019, the NRC staff accepted and docketed ND's application for 
detailed review (ADAMS Accession No. ML19298A194).
    The NRC previously issued a Notice of Consideration of Approval of 
Transfer of Construction Permits and Conforming Amendment, and 
Opportunity to Comment, Request a Hearing, and Petition for Leave to 
Intervene in the Federal Register on November 21, 2019 (84 FR 64355). 
However, by letter dated August 28, 2023 (ADAMS Accession No. 
ML23263A100), ND requested that the NRC withdraw ND's application.
