NOV 2 1979 DOCKET NO. 50-309 Maine Yankee Atomic Power Company ATTN: Mr. W. P. Johnson Vice President Turnpike Road (Rt. 9)
Westboro, Massachusetts 01581 Gentlemen:
This office has received a copy of your Proposed Change No. 71 dated September 13,1979 (WMY 79-84/PC-71-1), relating to secondary water chemistry monitoring (SWCM), which you filed with the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (0NRR) for review and approval. The application is for the Maine Yankee Atomic Power Station, Facility License No. DPR-36.
Your application was not accompanied by a fee as prescribed by 10 CFR 170.22 because you determined that the license conditio1 for SWCM, when incorpo-rated in the Maine Yankee facility license, will serve only to define the requirements for a program similar to the program that has been in effect at the facility since 1972 and the amendment would be strictly for license clarification purposes and for the convenience of the Commission and, as such, is not subject to fees.
Based on guidance from the ONRR staff as a result of their review of your proposed change, it has been determined that the change requires a Class II amendment fee of $1,200 because the review will deal with the administrative aspects of SWCM requirements and the amendment will be pro forma in nature.
It is our understanding that the applications filed by licensees relating to SWCM are not being requested for the convenience of the Commission, rather they are considered an acceptable solution to prevent the potential problem associated with steam generator tube integrity.
The fee schedule of 10 CFR 170.22 was established based on average costs for various types of actions using manpower data for FY 1977. Therefore, some fees appear excessive while others do not nearly cover the review costs.
1333 136 nu t so d 0
m Maine Yankee ' In consideration of the above, it is requested that the Class II amendment fee of $1,200 be forwarded to this office.
If the final review of your application by the ONRR staff reveals that this fee is incorrect, you will be refunded any overpayment or billed for any additional amount due.
Sincerely, (0.0.01&O William O. Miller, Chief License Fee Management Branch Office of Administration
