a proposed amendment to the Columbia Generating Stations TS, located in Benton County, Washington. The proposed change would have revised the TS to incorporate TSTF-493, Revision 4, Option A, by adding footnotes to certain TS Surveillance Requirements. The availability of this TS improvement was announced in the Federal Register on May 11, 2010 (75 FR 26294).
The NRC published a Biweekly Notice in the Federal Register on January 21, 2014 (79 FR 3415), that gave notice that this proposed amendment was under consideration by the NRC.
Due to an increase in scope of the proposed amendment from an application supplement, the amendment was republished in a Biweekly Notice in the Federal Register on August 19, 2014 (79 FR 49107). However, by letter dated December 9, 2014 (ADAMS Accession No. ML14349A494), the licensee requested to withdraw the proposed amendment.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 13th day of January 2015.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
