to, a collection of information unless it 

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number. 

1. Type of submission, new, revision, 

or extension: Extension. 

2. The title of the information 

collection: NRC Form 531 ‘‘Request for 

Taxpayer Identification Number’’. 

3. The form number if applicable: 

NRC Form 531. 

4. How often the collection is 

required: One time from each applicant 

or individual to enable the Department 

of the Treasury to process electronic 

payments or collect debts owed to the 

Government. 

5. Who will be required or asked to 

report: All individuals doing business 

with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission, including contractors and 

recipients of credit, licenses, permits, 

and benefits. 

6. An estimate of the number of 

annual responses: 300. 

7. The estimated number of annual 

respondents: 300.

Improvement Act of 1996 requires that 

agencies collect taxpayer identification 

numbers (TINs) from individuals who 

do business with the Government, 

including contractors and recipients of 

credit, licenses, permits, and benefits. 

The TIN will be used to process all 

electronic payments (refunds) made to 

licensees by electronic funds transfer by 

the Department of the Treasury. The 

Department of the Treasury will use the 

TIN to determine whether the refund 

can be used to administratively offset 

any delinquent debts reported to the 

Treasury by other government agencies. 

In addition, the TIN will be used to 

collect and report to the Department of 

the Treasury any delinquent 

indebtedness arising out of the 

licensee’s or applicant’s relationship 

with the NRC.

statement may be viewed free of charge

NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[Docket No. 50–346] 

Firstenergy Nuclear Operating 

Company and Firstenergy Nuclear 

Generation Corp.; 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 FirstEnergy 

Nuclear Operating Company and 

FirstEnergy Nuclear Generation Corp. 

(the licensee) to withdraw its July 27, 

2005, application for proposed 

amendment to Facility Operating 

License No. NPF–3 for the Davis-Besse 

Nuclear Power Station, Unit 1, located 

in Ottawa County. 

The proposed amendment would 

have revised Technical Specification 

(TS) 3/4.8.1.1, ‘‘A.C. Sources—

Operating,’’ to adopt a more recent 

standard for diesel fuel oil testing, and 

allow TS Surveillance Requirements 

(SRs) 4.8.1.1.2.d.1 and 4.8.1.1.2.d.3 to be 

performed on-line. 

The Commission had previously 

issued a Notice of Consideration of 

Issuance of Amendment published in 

the Federal Register on September 27, 

2005 (70 FR 56501). However, by letter 

dated August 9, 2006, the licensee 

withdrew the proposed change. 

For further details with respect to this 

action, see the application for 

amendment dated July 27, 2005, and the 

licensee’s letters dated May 30 and 

August 9, 2006, 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
