C. Jarres holloway, Chief License Fee Mar.agement Bronch Division of Acccunting and Finance Office of the Controller FROM:
John E. Glenn, Chief Medical, Academic and Comrnerciul Use Safety Branch Division of Industrial and Medical Nuclear Safety, NMSS
SUBJECT:
IMPLEMENTATION OF POLICY AND GUIDANCE DIRECTIVE FC-86-2, REVISION 1; PROCESSING MATERIAL LICENSE APPLICATIONS INVOLVING CHANGE OF CWNERSHIP The referenced guidance document changed NMSS policy regarding the issuance of new licenses because of change of ownership of licensed facilities.
Previous policy required, in part, that a new license be issued if the previous owner would remain in business as separate entity. The new policy states that only an amendn.ent is necessary to reflect the change in identity of the licensee in such a case.
This policy reflects the appropriate level of review to assure that health and safety issues are resolved. However, there will be times when for NRC's administrative purposes a new license number will need to be issued.
The middle five digits of a byprocuct materials license are referred to as an institution code. The institution code identifies both the licensed entity ar.d a site of operations. Several licenses may be issued using the same institution code.
The use of the same institution code for two separate and currently existing entities would defeat the usefulness of this administrative system.
Therefore, hMSS and the Regions will sometimes be issuing new license numbers (institution coces) for licensing actions which, in fact, are amendments to an existing license. There will be no increase in the technical review. The License Tracking System will only permit such an action to be treated af an issuance of a new license.
I am requesting that you approve, on a generic basis, the charging of a fee for an amendment rather than a fee for a new license in those instances where NMSS or the Regions issue a new license for administrative purposes only.

i This will save time of both our respective staffs that would otherwise be required to approve these as exceptions on a case-by-case basis.
You may contact me et ext. 23418, if you have questions regarding this matter.
