NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION



 [Docket No. 50-271, NRC-2011-0168]




Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station; Notice of Withdrawal of 

Application for Amendment to Facility Operating License



    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the Commission) has 

granted the request of Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station (the 

licensee) to withdraw its August 19, 2010, application for proposed 

amendment to Facility Operating License No. DPR-28 for the Vermont 

Yankee Nuclear Power Station, located in Vernon, Vermont.

    The proposed amendment would have revised the Technical 

Specifications to be consistent with Standard Technical Specifications 

3.6.1.8 ``Suppression Chamber-to-Drywell Vacuum Breakers'' and 3.6.2.5 

``Drywell-to-Suppression Chamber Differential Pressure,'' along with 

the associated Bases, of NUREG-1433, Revision 3, ``Standard Technical 

Specifications General Electric Plants, BWR/4,'' modified to account 

for plant specific design details.

    The Commission had previously issued a Notice of Consideration of 

Issuance of Amendment published in the Federal Register on October 5, 

2010 (75 FR 61525). However, by letter dated July 7, 2011, the licensee 

withdrew the proposed change.

    For further details with respect to this action, see the 

application for amendment dated August 19, 2010 (Agencywide Documents 

and Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML102360042), 

and the licensee's letter dated July 7, 2011 (Accession No. 

ML11193A009), which withdrew the application for license amendment. 

Documents may be examined, and/or copied for a fee, at the NRC's Public 

Document Room (PDR), located at One White Flint North, Public File Area 

O1 F21, 11555 Rockville Pike (first floor), Rockville, Maryland.
