BILLING CODE 7555-01-P NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION [Docket No. 50-461; NRC-2016-0245] Exelon Generation Company LLC; Clinton Power Station, Unit 1 AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission. ACTION: License amendment application; withdrawal by applicant. SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission

(NRC)has granted the request of Exelon Generation Company, LLC (Exelon, the licensee), to withdraw its application dated August 11, 2016, for a proposed amendment to Facility Operating License No. NPF-62. The proposed amendment request would have eliminated the on-shift positions not needed for storage of the spent fuel in the spent fuel pool during the initial decommissioning period and the emergency response organization positions not needed to respond to credible events. Additionally the licensee proposed to revise the emergency action levels

(EALs)to reflect those conditions applicable when the unit is in a permanently defueled condition.
