WITHDRAWAL OF AMENDMENT REQUEST REGARDING THE STEAM GENERATOR PROGRAM (TAC NO. ME3446)
Dear Sir or Madam:
By letter dated February 22, 2010 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML100550137), you applied for an amendment to the Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3, Facility Operating License No. NPF-38, regarding the steam generator (SG) program and the planned SG replacement scheduled to be completed during the spring 2011 refueling outage (RFO). The proposed amendment would have modified the facility technical specifications (TSs) pertaining to TS 6.5.9, "Steam Generator (SG) Program,"
and TS 6.9.1.5, "Steam Generator Tube Inspection Report," to eliminate the currently allowed SG tube alternate repair criteria and to modify the SG tube inservice inspection frequency.
However, the licensee has decided to postpone the SG replacement to the fall 2012 RFO.
Subsequently, by letter dated January 19, 2011 (ADAMS Accession No. ML110210111), you withdrew the amendment request.
The Commission has filed the enclosed Notice of Withdrawal of Application for Amendment to Facility Operating License with the Office of the Federal Register for publication.
Sincerely, N. Kalyanam, Project Manager Plant Licensing Branch IV Division of Operating Reactor Licensing Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Docket No. 50-382

The Commission had previously issued a Notice of Consideration of Issuance of Amendment published in the Federal Register on April 20, 2010 (75 FR 20633).
