.o October 5, 1989 L

Docket No. 50-312 Sacramento Municipal Utility District ATTN: Mr. David Boggs, General Manager P.O. Box 15830 Sacramento, CA 95852-1830 Gentlemen:

By application dated September 22, 1989, you requested a partial exemption from the FY 1989 annual fees of 10 CFR 171 for the Rancho Seco reactor. You requested that a portion of fees already paid be refunded because you had been charged for research which had not been performed.

As you are aware, Part 171 user fees are assessed on the basis of budgeted costs, not actual obligations. Since it is expected that there will be some deviations between the funds budgeted for a specific activity and those actually obligated, exemptions will rarely be granted.

However, in unusual situations where there is a very significant variation between the budgeted obligations and the actual obligations, an exemption may be considered.

We have completed our review of the exemstion request filed by your attorneys.

Based on the fact that very significant Judgeted costs for two B&W research.

related activities, namely, " Prevent Reactor Core Damage - Plant Performance -

B&W Testing" and " Reactor Accident Risk Analysis. Assessment of Plant Risks,"

were not totally obligated for these specific activities in FY 1989, but rather were expended for other activities relating to all power reactors, we have determined that a partial exemption is appropriate. Therefore, pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 171.11, a partial exemption is hereby granted for the Rancho Seco reactor. The annual fee is reduced from the FY 1989 rate of

$1,581,000 to $1,309,000; accordingly, an appropriate refund will be sent to you shortly. Enclosed is a document showing how the refund has been calcu-lated.

If there are questions regarding this exemption, please contact Mr. Lee Hiller, Deputy Controller, on 301-492-7351.

Sincerely, Original Signed By.
