Letter, USNRC to Entergy Nucl ear Operations, Inc., "Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station - Exemptions from the Requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Sections 50.82(a)(8)(i)(A) and 50.75(h)(1 )(iv)," NWY 15-075, dated June 17, 2015 (TAC No.

Dear Sir or Madam:
By letter dated September 4, 2014 (Reference 1), Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (Entergy) submitted a proposed amendment to Renewed Facility Operating License (OL) No. DPR-28 for Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station (VYNPS). The proposed changes would delete from the VYNPS OL certain license conditions which impose specific requirements on the decommissioning trust fund, on the basis that upon approval of the amendment, the provisions of 10 CER 50.75(h) that specify the regulatory requirements for decommissioning trust funds will apply.
Entergy has determined that maintaining the existing license conditions represents a manageable administrative burden and is allowed by the regulations so long as it does not elect to amend those license conditions, as set forth by the provisions of 10 CFR 50.75(h)(5). On this basis, Entergy is withdrawing the license amendment request. Entergy has also determined that this action requires no changes to the exemptions from specific requirements of 10 CFR 50.82(a)(8)(i)(A) and 10 CER 50.75(h)(1 )(iv) as approved by Reference 2.
This letter contains no new regulatory commitments.
Should you have any questions concerning this letter or require additional information, please contact Mr. Coley Chappell at 802-451-3374.
