NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket Nos. STN-454, STN-455, STN-456 and STN 50-457]


Commonwealth Edison Company; Byron Station, Units 1 and 2; 
Braidwood Station, Units 1 and 2; Notice of Withdrawal of Application 
for Amendments to Facility Operating Licenses

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has granted 
the request of Commonwealth Edison Company (the licensee) to withdraw 
its May 29, 1998, application for proposed amendments to Facility 
Operating License Nos. NPF-37 and NPF-66 for the Byron Station, Units 1 
and 2, located in Ogle County, Illinois; and Facility Operating License 
Nos. NPF-72 and NPF-77 for the Braidwood Station, Units 1 and 2, in 
Will County, Illinois.
    The proposed amendments would have revised the technical 
specifications to credit the automatic function of the pressurizer 
power operated relief valves (PORVs) for providing mitigation for 
inadvertent safety injection at power accident. The limiting condition 
for operation and surveillance requirements for the PORVs would also 
have been revised.
    The Commission had previously issued a Notice of Consideration of 
Issuance of Amendments to Facility Operating Licenses, Proposed No 
Significant Hazards Consideration Determination, and Opportunity for a 
Hearing published in the Federal Register on July 15, 1998 (63 FR 
38199). However, by letter dated July 16, 1999, the licensee withdrew 
the proposed change.
    For further details with respect to this action, see the 
application for amendment dated May 29, 1998, and the licensee's letter 
dated July 16, 1999, which withdrew the application for license 
amendments. The above documents are available for public inspection at 
the Commission's Public Document Room, the Gelman Building, 2120 L 
Street, NW., Washington, DC, and at the local public document rooms: 
for Byron, the Byron Public Library District, 109 N. Franklin, P.O. Box 
434, Byron Illinois 61010; for Braidwood, the Wilmington Public 
Library, 201 S. Kankakee Street, Wilmington, Illinois 60481.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 29th day of October 1999.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
