JUL 15 1S86 Docket Nos. 50-259, 50-260, and 50-296 Tennessee Valley Authority ATTN:
Mr. Steven A. White Manager of Nuclear Power 6N 38A Lookout Place Chattanooga, TN 37402-2801 Gentlemen:
Subject:
10 CFR 170 Fees for Fire Protection Reviews and Approvals for the Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant Unit Nos. 1, 2, and 3
The purpose of this letter is to address the fee requirements of 10 CFR 170 as they relate to actions pertaining to the fire protection requirements of 10'CFR 50.
On February 17, 1981, 10 CFR 50.48 and Appendix R, which added, fire protection requirements for operating nuclear powe'r plants, became effective.
Prior to that date, you were exempted from the fee requirements of Part 170 for the review and approval of fire "protection actions based on Branch Technical Position BTP 'APCSB 9.5-1 and its Appendix A.
Since the February 1981 amendment of 10 CFR 50, there have been a number of requests filed by licensees for their, plants.
These requests consisted of exemptions from schedular and,other. requirements, and other reviews (e.g., alternate safe shutdown capability).
Pl It is current NRC policy to exempt from fees all of the fire protection exemptions requested prior to June 20, 1984, which are granted pursuant to 10 CFR 50. 12 by the staff of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (ONRR) unless a license amendment or other approval is also required.
On this basis, fees have not been requested for any of these types of exemptions.
Fees will be charged for all other approvals and denials relating to fire protection.
This means that the review and approval of the alternate safe shutdown capability and any reviews which result in a denial of a request for your facility are subject to fees pursuant to 10 CFR 170.22.
An ONRR letter dated November 24, 1980, informed all reactor licensees with plants licensed prior to January 1, 1979, that fees were required for requests for Commission action resulting from the fire protection rule.
Based on a review of the fire protection requests filed by the Authority for the subject facilities, we find that a total of $8,800 is required.
The enclosed list reflects each request, any fees paid, fees
- due, and the ONRR staff's fee determination and action on each.
It is requested that the Authority remit the sum of $8,800 to our office for fees currently due on your fire protection requests.

,r JUL 15 1986 approvals by the ONRR staff on pending applications that were on file as of June 19, 1984, will be in accordance with the position set forth in this letter.
Fees for applications filed on or after June 20, 1984 will be in accordance with the provisions of the current revised Part 170 that became effective on June 20, 1984
'f for some reason our list does not include all fire protection requests that the Authority currently has on file with the ONRR staff we will address the excluded ones in a later letter if fees are required.
If any of those on file as of June 19, 1984, are approved totally pursuant to 10 CFR 50.12, they will be exempted from fees, but an additional letter will not be sent to you unless required otherwise (e.g., fees paid and refund has to be made)
