Dear Mr. Marik:

By letter dated April 4, 2016, you applied for an amendment to the Fort Calhoun Station, Unit No. 1 (FCS), Renewed Facility Operating License No. DPR-40. The proposed change would have modified License Condition D, Fire Protection Program, by withdrawing the commitments in REC-119 and REC-120 to implement certain plant modifications as stated in License Condition Paragraph 3.D.(3)(b), due to the fact that they are not necessary to meet the performance requirements of the risk-informed fire protection standard. Subsequently, by letter dated August 18, 2016, you withdrew the amendment request. Your letter dated August 18, 2016, also withdrew another letter dated April 4, 2016, that notified the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) of changes to REC-111 and REC-137.

The NRC has filed the enclosed Notice of Withdrawal of Application for Amendment to Facility Operating License with the Office of the Federal Register for publication.
