The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has granted the request of Exelon Generation Company, LLC (the licensee) to withdraw its November 10, 2009; as supplemented by letters dated October 12, 2010 and November 16, 2010; application for proposed amendments to Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-19 and DPR-25 for Dresden Nuclear Power Station, Units 2 and 3, respectively, located in Grundy County, Illinois, and to Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-29 and DPR-30 for Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station, Unit Nos. 1 and 2, respectively, located in Rock Island, Illinois.

The proposed amendment would have revised Technical Specification 3.1.7, “Standby Liquid Control (SLC) System,” to extend the completion time for Condition B (i.e., “Two SLC subsystems inoperable”) from 8 hours to 72 hours.

The Commission had previously issued a Notice of Consideration of Issuance of Amendment published in the Federal Register on February 9, 2010 (75 FR 6410). However, by letter dated November 16, 2010, the licensee withdrew the proposed change.
