UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINOTON, D.C. 20S55-0001 Nai"ch 5, 1999 RECElVEO MAR 12 1999 Nuclear Ucensing Florida Power and Light Company ATTN: Mr. J. A. Stall, Vice President St. Lucie Plant 6351 S. Ocean Drive Jensen Beach, FL 34957
Dear Mr. Stall:
I am responding to your December 18, 1998, letter in which you request a review and appeal of the fees assessed by Invoice RS0062-99 for St. Lucie Unit 1 dated November 7, 1998.
You state:
(1) that the inspector G. N. Warnick was in training and therefore was not providing any direct regulatory service to Florida Power and Light (FPL); (2) that his time should be included in the overhead, general, and administrative cost defined under 10 CFR Part 171.5; and (3) it is your belief that licensees are not billed for the training and qualification time of regional based inspectors.
This letter willalso address the concern expressed by Mr. George Madden in a telephone call to my office on February 22, 1999, about G. N. Warnick's non-inspection time billed on the second quarter Invoice RS0182-99.
Based on the following, no adjustments were made to Invoice RS0062-99; however, we did revise the two second quarter Invoices RS0182-99 and RS0205-99.
The NRC assesses two types of fees to recover its budget authority as required by Public Law 101-508, the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990 (OBRA-90). First, license and inspection fees, established at 10 CFR Part 170 under the authority of the Independent Offices Appropriation Act (IOAA), 31 U.S.C. 9701, recover the NRC's costs of providing individually identifiable services to specific applicants and licensees.
Second, annual fees, established in 10 CFR Part 171 under the authority of OBRA-90, recover generic and other regulatory costs not recovered through 10 CFR Part 170 fees.
On June 10, 1998, NRC published a final'rule to establish the licensing, inspection, and annual fees necessary for the NRC to recover approximately 100 percent of its budget authority in FY 1998. The final rule revised 10 CFR Part 170.12(g)(1) to include full cost recovery for resident inspectors assigned to a specific plant or facility. Part 170 fees are now assessed for all of the resident inspectors'ime, excluding only leave and time spent by a resident inspector in support of activities at another site for which they are not assigned.
The costs associated with resident inspectors, including time in training, are an identifiabIe service to specific licensees in providing regulatory oversight of their assigned plant or facility.
It is NRC's policy to typically assign one senior and two resident inspectors at a two unit site.
Mr. Warnick is a resident inspector assigned to the St. Lucie site.
He is qualified to perform the duties required of a resident inspector.
J. A. Stall 3/5/99 Your concern regarding all of the residents'on-inspection hours being billed to the St. Lucie Unit C1, Docket 50-335 is valid. Due to a programming error, all of the residents'on-inspection time (the senior and two residents) was rolled up to the lowest Docket 50-335. We apologize for the inconvenience that this error caused you.
Enclosure 1, is a chart that shows how the residents were assigned to the St. Lucie site by Dockets 50-335 and 50-389.
Based on the residents'ite affiliation in place during the first quarter FY 1999 billing cycle (June 21, 1998, through September 26, 1998), there were no non-inspection hours reported for St. Lucie Unit P2, Docket 50-389 and therefore no adjustment is made to Invoice No. RS0062-99.
Based on the residents'ite affiliation in place during the FY 1999 second quarter billing cycle (September 27, 1998, through January 2, 1999), the only change to be made is to move 14.5 hours5.787037e-5 days <br />0.00139 hours <br />8.267196e-6 weeks <br />1.9025e-6 months <br /> from Unit 41 Docket 50-335 to Unit 02 Docket 50-389, for resident David Lanyi, (D4L)
(see enclosures 2 and 3). The programming error will be corrected for the next billing cycle by capturing the senior resident's non-inspection time on the lowest Docket 50-335. The other two residents'on-inspection time willalso be captured by Docket 50-335 or 50-389 to which they are respectively assigned.
The revised invoices are enclosed.
We are not able to accommodate your request of allocating the resident inspectors'on-inspection hours on a 50/50 basis to the two units.
Our records show that Invoice No, RS0062-99 is paid in full. Revised Invoice Nos. RS0182-99 and RS0205-99 are due and payable by April 9, 1999, to avoid the assessment of interest and administrative charges.
Ifyou have any questions, please contact Ellen Poteat at 301415-6392.
Sincerely, Diane B. Dandois, Chief License Fee and Accounts Receivable Branch Division of Accounting and Finance Office of the Chief Financial Officer
