Dear Mr. Franke:
By letter dated March 24,2011, you applied for an amendment to the Crystal River, Unit 3 Nuclear Generating Plant, Facility Operating License No. DPR-72 to adopt Technical Specification Task Force (TSTF), Improved Standard Tect-mical Specifications Change Traveler TSTF-248, Revision 0, "Revise Shutdown Margin Definition for Stuck Rod Exception." The proposed amendment would have modified the definition of shutdown margin to allow an exception to the highest reactivity worth stuck control rod penalty if there are two independent means of confirming that all control rods are fully inserted in the reactor core. Subsequently, by letter dated September 7, 2011, you withdrew the amendment request.
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 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, Farideh E. Saba, Senior Project Manager Plant Licensing Branch 11-2 Division of Operating Reactor Licensing Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Docket No. 50-302
