SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The NRC has granted the request of Omaha Public Power District (the licensee) to withdraw its February 18, 2013, application, as supplemented by letter dated February 20, 2014 (ADAMS Accession Nos. ML13051A741 and ML14052A204, respectively), for proposed amendment to Renewed Facility Operating License No. DPR-40 for the Fort Calhoun Station, Unit No. 1, located in Washington County, Nebraska.

The proposed amendment would have revised the Technical Specification Definitions and Technical Specification Sections 2.0.1 and 2.7 for Inoperable System, Subsystem or Component Due to Inoperable Power Source. Specifically, the proposed amendment would:

(1) revise the definition for Operable - Operability in the Fort Calhoun Station, Unit No. 1,

Technical Specifications; (2) modify the provisions under which equipment may be considered operable when either its normal or emergency power source is inoperable; and (3) revise the minimum requirement statement in Technical Specification Section 2.7 to the wording previously reviewed and approved by the NRC in Amendment No. 147, dated August 3, 1992.

The Commission had previously issued a Notice of Consideration of Issuance of Amendment published in the Federal Register on January 21,2014 (79 FR 3417). However, by letter dated July 15, 2014 (ADAMS Accession No. ML14198A397), the licensee withdrew the proposed change.

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 25th day of July 2014.

For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
