The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has granted the request of Entergy Operations, Inc. (Entergy, the licensee), to withdraw its application dated September 1, 2016, for a proposed amendment to Facility Operating License No. NPF-38.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NRC has granted the request of Entergy

    The amendment would have revised the Waterford 3 TSs to relocate 
the surveillance frequency requirements for selected ESFAS Subgroup 
relays to a licensee-controlled program. Specifically, the license 
amendment would have revised the Table Notation for TS Table 4.3-2, 
``Engineered Safety Features Actuation System Instrumentation

additional relays to the Waterford 3 SFCP. The Commission previously 
published a proposed finding in the Federal Register on November 22,

By letter dated March 22, 2017 (ADAMS accession no. ML17082A459), the 
licensee requested to withdraw the proposed amendment.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 25th day of April, 2017.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
