The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has granted the request of Nuclear Management Company, LLC (the licensee), to withdraw its March 31, 2008 (Agencywide Document Access and Management System Accession No. ML081010189) application, as supplemented by letters dated May 20, May 28, May 30, June 3, June 5, June 12, and June 25, 2008 (Accession Nos.

The proposed amendment would have increased the current maximum thermal power level authorized by Section 2.C(1) of the renewed facility operating license from 1,775 megawatts to 1,870 megawatts.
