DCCKET NOS. 50-329/330 James E. Brunner, Esquire Consumers Power Co.
212 West Michigan Avenue Jackson, Michigan 49201
Dear Mr. Brunner:
We have reviewed your letter of July 22, 1980, which again questioned the correctness of the determination that _..sumers Power Company owes a fee for a construction permit amendment application in connection with Amendment No. 72.
Your letter presents no new material that would lead us to depart from our previously stated position. The quotation from the minutes of the October it 1979 meeting appears to us to be irrelevant to the fee question.
Rather it expresses quite clearly the licensing review staff's dissatisfaction with the manner in which Consumers was proceeding with the remedial action.
We feel constrained at this point to bring to ycJr attention 10 CFR 170.12(a) which calls for payment of application fees with the application, and states that no application will be processed without payment.
In the case of Amend-ment 72, processing has not been held up due to non-payment, but it is an established working rule in NRC that, to comply with the regulation, no license or amendment will be issued until fees are paid. We understand that the amendment is an issue before the Hearing Panel.
If at some future date it is determined that the amendment is not necessary, then any amendment fees paid for the application will be refunded.
In the meantime, amendment fees total-ling $12,700 should be promptly forwarded,to this office.
Our legal counsel concurs in this letter.
Sincerely, William 0. Miller, Chief License Fee Management Branch Office of Administration 02103 00
