Dear Sir or Madam:
By letter dated July 30, 2007, and as supplemented on October 31, 2007, December 5, 2007, January 24, 2008, March 17, 2008, April 22, 2008, and May 2, 2008, Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc., also referred to previously as ENOI, LLC (either company herein, ENO),
acting on behalf of itself and Entergy Nuclear Generation Company, Entergy Nuclear FitzPatrick, LLC, Entergy Nuclear Vermont Yankee, LLC, Entergy Nuclear Indian Point 2, LLC, Entergy Nuclear Indian Point 3, LLC, and Entergy Nuclear Palisades, LLC (together, Applicants), requested that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) consent to the transfer of control of the above-captioned licenses pursuant to Section 184 of the Atomic Energy Act, as amended (the Act), and 10 CFR 50.80, in connection with a proposed corporate restructuring and establishment of Enexus Energy Corporation (Enexus). In addition, ENO would become EquaGen Nuclear LLC. NRC approved the license transfers in seven Orders dated July 28, 2008 that were published in the Federal Register on August 4 and August 6, 2008.

ENOC-10-00035 In letters dated May 2, 2008, and updated July 28, 2008, ENO submitted requests for administrative license amendments to conform the affected NRC licenses to reflect the new Enexus and EquaGen names would be submitted by September 30, 2008. Such amendment requests were tendered by the Facilities in letters dated September 22, 2008 for Big Rock Point and Palisades (unnumbered) and September 30, 2008 for IPEC Unit 1 (NL-08-123),
IPEC Units 2 and 3 (NL-08-124), JAF (JAFP-08-0100), Pilgrim (2.08.032) and Vermont Yankee (BVY 08-055). Notice of these amendments involving no significant hazards consideration was provided by NRC in the Federal Register on January 13, 2009. The name changes do not involve any change in the licensed entities, but rather the amendments are administrative housekeeping so that the correct names of the licensed companies would be reflected on the licenses following the Enexus spin-off and split-off transaction ("Spin-Off").
By letters dated May 15, 2009 and May 29, 2009, ENO requested an extension of the seven Orders. By Order dated July 24, 2009, published in the Federal Register on August 3, 2009, NRC extended the effectiveness of the July 28, 2008 Orders allowing for completion of the proposed transactions on or before January 28, 2010. By letter dated November 3, 2009, ENO requested that NRC further extend the Orders approving the transfer of control of licenses until August 1, 2010. By Order dated January 22, 2010 published in the Federal Register on February 2, 2010, NRC extended the expiration date of the Orders until August 1, 2010.
On April 5, 2010, Entergy Corporation announced that "effective immediately it plans to unwind the business infrastructure associated with the proposed separate non-utility nuclear generation and nuclear services companies while it evaluates and works to preserve its legal rights." On July 12, 2010, Entergy withdrew its pending requests for Spin-Off with the state of New York and permitted the Orders to expire. On August.19, 2010, the New York Public Service Commission issued an order closing the proceeding based on the withdrawal.
ENO hereby withdraws our requests for all of the above administrative license amendments.
This letter contains no new commitments. If NRC requires additional information concerning this letter, please contact Bryan Ford, Senior Manager, Licensing, at 601-368-5516.
