NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

OFFICE OF NUCLEAR MATERIAL SAFETY AND SAFEGUARDS

WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555 November 6, 1990

NRC INFORMATION NO. 90-38, SUPPLEMENT 1: LICENSE AND FEE REQUIREMENTS

FOR PROCESSING FINANCIAL

ASSURANCE SUBMITTALS FOR

DECOMMISSIONING

Addressees

All fuel facility and materials licensees.

Purpose

This information notice supplement is being provided to present new information

on licensing and fee requirements for processing financial assurance submittals

for decommissioning as discussed in U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)

Information Notice 90-38. It is expected that licensees will.review this

information for applicability to their licensed activities. The information in

this notice does not constitute any new NRC requirements, and no written response

is required.

Discussion:

Information Notice 90-38 was issued on May 29, 1990, and informed fuel facility

and materials licensees of the licensing and fee requirements for processing

financial assurance submittals for decommissioning. Upon further evaluation of

the intent of the NRC rule entitled, *General Requirements for Decommissioning

Nuclear FacilitiesO (53FR24018, 06/27/88). NRC has determined.that financial

assurance submittals required to be submitted to NRC by July 27, 1990, will not

be processed as license amendments and are not subject to license fees under

10 CFR Part 170.

Requests to change or restrict authorized possession limits for byproduct, source, or special nuclear material, or to delete radionuclides in response to

financial assurance requirements, will be processed as license amendments and

will be subject to the amendment fee for the appropriate fee category assigned

to the license. In addition, requests for exemption from the financial

assurance regulations will be processed as license amendments and will be

subject to amendment fees. However, fees will not be charged for amendments to

routine nuclear medicine, sealed source, and radiography licenses, to establish

a total possession limit, when such licenses were written without a total

possession limit as a result of NRC policy.
