NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket Nos. 50-373 and 50-374]


LaSalle County Station, Units 1 and 2; Notice of Withdrawal of 
Application for Amendment to Facility Operating License

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has granted 
the request of Exelon Generation Company (EGC), LLC, formerly 
Commonwealth Edison Company (ComEd), to withdraw its November 10, 2000, 
application for proposed amendment to Facility Operating License Nos. 
NPF-11 and NPF-18 for the LaSalle County Station, Units 1 and 2, 
located in LaSalle County, Illinois.
    The proposed amendment would have revised several sections of the 
Technical Specifications (TS) and added a new TS section to incorporate 
Oscillation Power Range Monitor (OPRM) Instrumentation.
    The Commission had previously issued a Notice of Consideration of 
Issuance of Amendment published in the Federal Register on December 27, 
2000 (65 FR 81911). However, by letter dated September 6, 2001, the 
licensee withdrew the proposed change. The withdrawal request was based 
on the extended time period General Electric Company is projecting to 
resolve the OPRM issue (i.e., 12 to 18 months), potential changes 
needed to the licensee submittals to address the non-conservative OPRM 
assumptions, and discussions with the Commission staff on August 7, 
2001.
    For further details with respect to this action, see the 
application for amendment dated November 10, 2000, and the licensee's 
letter dated September 6, 2001, which withdrew the application for 
license amendment. Documents may be examined, and/or copied for a fee, 
at the NRC's Public Document Room, located at One White Flint North,
