The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has granted a request by the Detroit Edison Company (the licensee) to withdraw its May 23, 2003, application for an amendment to Facility Operating License No. NPF-43 issued to the licensee for operation of the Fermi 2, located in Monroe County. Notice of Consideration of Issuance of this amendment was published in the Federal Register on June 25, 2002 (67 FR 42819).

The purpose of the licensee's amendment request was to modify the Fermi 2 Technical Specifications by revising the requirements for system operability during movement of recently irradiated fuel assemblies in the secondary containment.

Subsequently, the licensee informed the staff that the amendment is no longer required. Thus, the amendment application is considered to be withdrawn by the licensee.
