Subject:

Vermont Yankee Facility Fee Bill for Period OV27/88 06/18/88 s

Dear Sir:

The pur mse of this letter is to bring to your attention a matter which lavolves the assessment i ofinterest anc administrative fees regardmg the facility fee bill of Reference (b). Vermont Yankee  ;

believes these fees have been unfairly assessed. ,

A review of records in both our Corporate Office in Brattleboro, Vermont, and our  ;

Engineering (Licensing) Offices in Bolton, Massachusetts reveals that an original bill for the '

subject time period was never received by us, i A copy of the invoice stamped "Second Notice, Sep 21 1989" was received by Vermont [

Yankee Lice nsing on September 29,1989. The invoice consisted of one page bill and did not have  ;

the usual supporting documentati n attached. The second notice was promptly forwarded to the Brattleboro Corporate Offices fcr payment.

As the second notice was bein processed for payment by the Corporate Office, another copy i of the same invoice was received b Vermont Yankee Licensing, by means of Certified Mail, on t

October 11, 1989. This copy of the invoice was stampec, " Final Notice, Oct 41989",

representing a total of only nine (9) business days between issuance of the second notice and ,

issuance of the final notice by NRC. The final notice also had none of the usual supporting >

documentation attached. The invoice was immediately telecopied to the Corporate Office, the situation was discussed over the telephone between the Licensing Engineer ar.d the Manager of Accounting, and a call was placed to NRC that same day. The ca I was received at NRC by Lisa Shea (301492 8747), who stated that the required sup rting documentation would be telecopied to us as requested. However, Ms. Shea also inform us that, since the invoice had reached the

" Final Notice" stage, a new invoice would also be telecopied with the supporting documentation which would include interest and administrative fees. Both Vermont Yankee Licensing and Corporate Offices attempted to reverse the decision to charge the interest and fees, but both were informed that the fees were automatic once an invoice reached the " Final Notice" stage. t goo i 8910270204 891019 DR ADOCK0".OOg{1 1 i g

A revised invoice was telecopied to Vermont Yankee Licensing with an added $858.00 in interest and fees on October 12,1989. Vermont Yankte Cor wrate immediately made an expedited payment for the full amount by wire transfer, to avoid any ac ditional problems.

Vermont Yankee respectfully requests that the decision to charge interest and fees in this matter be reversed and that our account be credited in the amount of $858.00. Should you have any funher questions or require additional information in this matter, please do not hesitate to contact this omce.

Very truly yours, VERMONT YANKEE NUCLEAR POWER CORPORATION QMNL .
