SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NRC has granted the Tennessee Valley 
Authority's request to withdraw its December 15, 2015, license 
amendment application (ADAMS Accession No. ML15350A250) for a proposed 
amendment to Facility Operating License No. NPF-96 issued to the 
licensee for operation of the WBN, Unit 2, located in Rhea County, 
Tennessee.
    The licensee requested to amend TS 3.6.12, ``Ice Condenser Doors,'' 
to revise the surveillance frequency of three surveillance requirements 
(SRs) that perform visual inspection and torque testing on the ice 
condenser lower inlet doors during the first cycle after receipt of the 
WBN, Unit 2, Facility Operating License. The purpose of the proposed 
amendment was to preclude an additional plant shutdown to perform 
surveillance testing on the ice condenser lower inlet doors based on 
the projected schedule for startup of WBN, Unit 2. Based on the current 
schedule for the startup of WBN, Unit 2, the licensee has determined 
that the three SRs can be performed as specified in TS 3.6.12 without 
requiring a unit shutdown specifically for the purpose of performing 
the ice condenser door SRs.
    This proposed amendment request was noticed in the Federal Register 
on February 2, 2016 (81 FR 5501). By letter dated June 2, 2016 (ADAMS 
Accession No. ML16155A071), Tennessee Valley Authority withdrew its 
license amendment application.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 30th day of June 2016.
    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Tracy Orf,
Acting Chief, Plant Licensing Branch II-2, Division of Operating 
Reactor Licensing, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
