SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NRC has granted the request of Pacific

amendments to Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-80 and DPR-82 for the 
Diablo Canyon Power Plant, Units 1 and 2, located in San Luis Obispo 
County, California.
    The proposed amendments would have modified the Diablo Canyon Power 
Plant TSs to permit the use of RICTs in accordance with TSTF-505, 
Revision 1 (ADAMS Accession No. ML111650552). The proposed amendments 
would have, in part, modified selected required actions to permit

    The Commission has previously issued a proposed finding that the 
amendments involve no significant hazards consideration, published in 
the Federal Register on December 9, 2014 (79 FR 73111). The licensee 
provided supplemental information by letters dated February 5 and May 
28, 2015, and July 7 and October 27, 2016 (ADAMS Accession Nos.

However, the licensee requested to withdraw the application on March 7, 
2018 (ADAMS Accession No. ML18066A938).
