Mr. M. 0. Medford Manager, Nuclear Licensing Post Office Box 800 2244 Walnut Grove Avenue Rosemead, California 91770 Gentlemen:
The following applications were filed with the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (ONRR) for review in connection with the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station Unit Nos. 2 and 3.
- 1. A June 7, 1983 application (NPF-10-81) for certain Technical Speci fication changes relating to surveillance interval delay for Unit No. 2. A Class II fee ($1,200) was remitted with this application pursuant to 10 CFR 170.22. Your Company withdrew this application by letter dated July 29, 1983.
- 2. A January 3, 1984 application formally submitted by letter dated January 25, 1984 (NPF-10-144 and NPF-15-144) for certain Technical Specification changes relating to containment purgin for Unit Nos.
2 and 3. A Class II fee ($1,200) and a Class I fee $400) were remitted with your application pursuant to 10 CFR 170.22.
Based on information provided by the ONRR staff, it has been determined that:
- 1. A refund of $1,200 is appropriate for Item I above since review by the ONRR staff had not commenced prior to its withdrawal. Under the provisions of 10 CFR 170.12(a), the USNRC may retain fees for withdrawn applications. However, it is NRC policy not to retain fees when no review has commenced prior to the withdrawal of an application filed prior to June 20, 1984 (the effective date of the revised 10 CFR Part 170). On this basis, we have concluded PDR ADOCK 050003

Southern California Edison Company
- 2 JUL *2 1984 that an exemption pursuant to 170.11(b) from the fee requirements is authorized by law, and such exemption.is otherwise in the public interest and is hereby granted for thii application.
- 2. A Class III fee ($4,000),and a Class I fee ($400) are appropriate for Item 2 above since the review involved consideration of a single safety issue and a duplicate unit. Therefore, an additional sum of $2,800 is due for this application which was approved for Unit No. 3 by Amendment No. 9 on March 13, 1984, and closed out for Unit No. 2 by letter dated May 1, 1984, at which time the ONRR staff informed your Company that no amendment is planned for Unit No. 2.
On the one hand, a refund of $1,200 is due your Company for Item 1 and, on the other hand, a sumof $2,800 is due the USNRC for Item 2. We are apply ing the $1,200 refund due your Company to the $2,800 due the USNRC. Con sequently, you are requested to remit the additional sum of $1,600 to our office to complete the fees due for Item 2.
For your information, a brief discussion of fees for applications for li cense amendments filed before and after June 20, 1984, is contained in Enclosure I to this letter. If there are questions on fees, call us on 301-492-7225.

JRC FORM 318 (10-80) NRCM 0240 OFFICIAL RECORD COPY NOTE REGARDING FEES FOR LICENSE AMENDMENTS AND OTHER APPROVALS June 20, 1984 Applications for license amendments (including construction permit extension requests), reliefs, exemptions and other approvals filed with the USNRC prior to June 20, 1984, will continue to be assessed fees based on 10 CFR 170.22 of the March 23, 1978 regulation. Applications filed on or after June 20, 1984, should be in accordance with the enclosed revised Part 170 that became effective on June 20, 1984. The revised rule eliminates the fee Classes I through VI and requires licensees to remit an application fee of $150 with each application for license amendment, relief and exemption from the require ments of certain regulations,-and other approvals. Thereafter, at six-month intervals, the USNRC will bill the licensee for the review of the application until it is completed. Under the revised rule, the fees for license amend ments and other approvals are based on the full cost (professional staff hours and contractual services) expended for the review. However, the maximum which can be charged for an application is the amount in the rule in effect at the time the amendment or other approval action is issued. The'amount is current ly $164,600 (10 CFR 170.21.A) for power reactor cases. Credit for the non refundable $150 application fee (see Footnote 2 of 170.21) will be given at the time the first bill is sent to the licensee. The first six-month bills are expected to be sent out to licensees approximately March 1, 1985 and will cover the six-month period ending December 22, 1984.
