COMMONWEALTH EDISON COMPANY DOCKET NO, 50-249 DRESDEN NUCLEAR POWER STATION, UNIT 3 AMENDMENT TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE Amendment No. 110 License No. DPR-25 1.

The Nuclear Regulatory Consnission (the Commission) has found that:

A.

The application for amendment by the Commonwealth Edison Company (the licensee) dated March 6, 1991, complies with the standards and requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act), and the Coninission's rules and regulations set forth in 10 CFR Chapter );

B.

Tne facility will operate in conformity with the application, the provisions of the Act and the rules and regulations of the Coninission; C.

There is reasonable assurance (1) that the activities authorized by this amendment can be conducted without endangering the health and safety of the public, and (ii) that such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations; D.

The issuance of this amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public; and E.

The issuance of this amendment is in accordance with 10 CFR Part 51 of the Commission's regulations and all applicable requirements have been satisfied.

2.

Accordingly, the license is amended by changes to the Technical Specifi-cations as indicated in the attachment to this license amendment and paragraph 3.B. of facility Operating License No. DPR-25 is hereby amended to read as follows:
