SUBJECT:
APPLICABILITY OF FEE CATEGORY 3N FOR CALIBRATION AND TRAINING SERVICE LICENSES i
i The purp6se of this asserenden is to seek assistance from your office in detemining whether or not fee Category 3N of $170.31 it still appropriate for licenses authorizing calibretion and training services for other licensees. -Fee Category 3R is applicable to " Licenses tiet authorire services for other licensees, except for leek testing and waste disposal i
pickup services." The fee charged for the review of an application for a new license or renouel is $g30. and $120 for an amendment review, based on i
average review times of 16 staff-hours and 2 staff-hours, respectively.
Recently, tuo service-type licensees wrote to us about the amount of the massal fee for their licenses. Stan Huber Consultants submitted a letter dated December 18. 1984 copy attached, which requested that we " place calibration.. training, and leak test service firms in only the "3P" category."
I (Leak test licenses are currently sutdect to fee Category 3P). Stan Huber's License 12-17503-01' authorizes the use of byproduct material for calibration and training purposes for other licensees. As justification for their m-quest, Stan Huber stated that, because of the low radiation exposure potential.
the uncoolicated licensing review. and the mlatively simple type of license, the 3P "All other" fee category would be more appropriate. They expressed concern too that the' fee to be charged for their license renews 1 is almost t
as much as the fee assessed for a broad scope license.
Another licensee. Radiation Censultants of'Mtd-America, had their NRC license I
(24-18B31-01) teminated on December 11,1984, because they felt the renamel i
fee, which exceeds $1.000, was not ressenable or justified, and that NRC's i
review costs for their license could not be that much. Their license had i
authorized equipment calibration and leak test services for medical facilities.
(See the attached copies of Radiation Consultant's two October 25,1984 letters to NRC).

Vandy Miller Chief :
j In addition to the above letters, this office has received several telephone inquiries which expressed concern about the amount of the fee for the subject licenses, particularly for those licenses authorizing calibration services.
1 For the most part, the licensees have suggested that the fee charged for the review of calibration services.should be more in the line with the fee charged for licenses authorizing leak test services.
1 Accordingly, we request that you inform us, based on the average amount of effort expended to conduct the tuview, whether or not the fees assessed j
under fee Category 3N are appropriate for the review of calibration and j
training service licenses.
If you determine that the fee is appropriate, we will continue to assess the current fees.
If on the other hand. you determine that the review effbrt fbr these licens,es is either less than the feen charged in Category 3N or is more compareble to the review performed for a leak test service license, then we will consider adjusting the fees charted i
for calibration and training service licenses, based on the revised average staff-hours provided to us by your office.
We appreciate your assistance in this matter.
