NOTICE OF WITHDRAWAL OF MOTION AND PETITION TO INTERVENE OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS, D/B/A AUSTIN ENERGY

The City of Austin, Texas, d/b/a Austin Energy (Austin) hereby withdraws its Motion

to Dismiss License Transfer Application, Immediately Stay NRC Proceedings, and Petition to

Intervene, which Austin jointly filed with The City of San Antonio,Texas, acting by and through

the City Public Service Board of San Antonio (CPS Energy), a Texas municipally-owned utility,

on July 31, 2023 (ADAMS Accession No. ML23212B248) (Motion and Petition) and

supplemented on August 14, 2023 (ADAMS Accession No. ML23226A268) (Supplemental

Contention). Austin understands that CPS Energy is filing a similar notice of withdrawal

contemporaneously with this filing.

The basis for this Notice of Withdrawal is as follows:

1. On June 12, 2023, STP Nuclear Operating Company (STPNOC) submitted an

Application for Order Approving Indirect Transfer of Control of Licenses (ADAMS Accession

No. ML23163A176) (Application) requesting approval to transfer NRG South Texas LPs

(NRG) ownership interest in South Texas Project Electric Generating Station (STP) to

Constellation EnergyGeneration, LLC (Constellation) (STPNOC, Constellation, NRG, and

1 NRCs parent companies are collectively referred to herein as Applicants). On July 31, 2023,

Austin and CPS Energy filed the Motion and Petition challenging the Application and

supplemented it with the Supplemental Contention on August 14, 2023.

2. On October 30, 2023, NRC staff issued an order approving the Application and

authorizing Applicants to transfer the STP licenses, subject to the Commissions authority to

resolve Austins and CPS Energys pending filings (ADAMS Accession No. ML23279A038). On

November 1, 2023, Constellation and NRG closed the underlying transaction, and NRC staff

issued conforming amendments reflecting the indirect transfer of the STP licenses to

Constellation (ADAMS Accession No. ML23298A000).

3. On May 2, 2024 Austin entered into a settlement agreement with Constellation

and NRG that resolves, among other things, Austins challenges to the transfer of STP ownership

to Constellation. Austin has agreed to withdraw all NRC filings challenging the Application and

the underlying transaction. Accordingly, Austin hereby gives notice that it withdraws the Motion

and Petition and the Supplemental Contention.

Austin has coordinated with counsel for CPS Energy and understands that CPS Energy

intends to file a similar notice of withdrawal dated the same day as this Notice. Accordingly,

Austin understands that there is no longer any active challenge to the Application pending before

the Commission.
