The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has granted the request of Exelon Generation Company, LLC (the licensee), to withdraw its August 2, 2001, application as supplemented by their letters dated August 6, 2001, and August 7, 2001, for proposed amendment to Facility Operating License Nos. NPF-72 and NPF-77 for the Braidwood Station, Unit Nos. 1 and 2, located in Will County, Illinois.

The proposed amendment would have revised the technical specification (TS), on an exigent basis, allowing the licensee to temporarily increase the average temperature limit of the UHS from 100 °F to 102 °F through September 30, 2001.
