Beaver Valley Power Station, Unit No. 1 Docket No. 50-334, License No. DPR-66 Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station, Unit No. 1 Docket No. 50-346, License No. NPF-3 Suoolemental Information Reoardino a Pendi Administrative License Amendment Request to Reflect a Change in the Entitv Providing a $4gQ Million Support Asreement By letter dated May 18, 2017 (ADAMS Accession No. ML'17'138A381), FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company (FENOC) submitted an administrative license amendment request for both the Beaver Valley Power Station, Unit No. 1 (BVPS-1) and the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station, Unit No. 1 (DBNPS) Renewed Operating Licenses (ROLs). The proposed amendment would conform the BVPS-1 and DBNPS ROLs to reflect that FirctEnergy Solutions Corp. (FES) is providing the $400 million support agreement instead of FirstEnergy Corp. (FE).

By Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Order dated April 15, 2016 (Accession No. ML16078A092), which approved the transGr of certain sale-leaseback ownership of the Perry Nuclear Power Plant to FirstEnergy Nuclear Generation, LLC (FENGen or FENGenCo), the NRC accepted the change from FE to FES providing the $400 million support agreement. The NRC reaffirmed FES as the provider of the financial support agreement in the approved transfer of ownership for Beaver Valley Power Station, Unit No. 2 dated April 14, 2017 (Accession No. ML17081A433, Nonproprietary Safety Evaluation).

Attachments 1 and2 provide updated proposed wording for the DBNPS ROL to better align with the proposed wording for the BVPS-1 ROL described in the May 18,2017 amendment request. These two (2) attachments supersede Attachments 3 and 4 of the May 18,2017 submittal.

Beaver Valley Power Station, Unit No. 1 Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station, Unit No. 1 L-18-203 Page 2 The Significant Hazards Consideration that was provided in the May 18,2017 submittal was reviewed with respect to the revised DBNPS ROL wording and is not affected.

There are no regulatory commitments contained in this letter. lf there are any questions, or if additional information is required, please contact Mr. Thomas A. Lentz, Manager, FENOC Nuclear Licensing and Regulatory Affairs, at (330) 315-6810.

I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed on August iA ,2018.
