In References 1 and 2, Exelon Generation Company, LLC (EGC) requested two separate amendments to Facility Operating License (FOL) No. NPF-62 for Clinton Power Station (CPS),

Unit 1.

November 1, 2016 U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Page 2 In Reference 3, EGC notified the NRC that it had decided to cease operations at CPS, Unit 1 by June 1, 2017. Given this notification, in Reference 4, EGC requested that the NRC temporarily suspend its review of the two license amendment requests (LARs), pending EGC evaluation of the continued need for the LARs. In Reference 5, the NRC notified EGC that the review of the two LARs had been suspended, and requested that EGC notify the NRC within 45 days of its intent regarding these submittals.

As stated in Reference 4, EGC expects that an evaluation of the continued need for the two LARs will be completed prior to the end of 2016. Therefore, EGC requests a continued suspension of NRC review activities for the Reference 1 and 2 LARs, through December 2016.

EGC is notifying the State of Illinois of this response by transmitting a copy of this letter to the designated State Official.

There are no regulatory commitments contained in this letter. Should you have any questions concerning this letter, please contact Mr. John L. Schrage at (630) 657-2821.
