NOTE TO:

b Graham Johnson, ARM /DAF Hudson Ragan, 00 Bob Fonner, OCC FROM:

Ron Smith, OGC W

SUBJECT:

REVISION OF 10 CFR PART 15 As you are aware, Part 15 has been in need of revision for some time now, particularly since the passage of the Debt Collection Act of 1982, which amended the Federal Claims Collection Act of 1966.

Further, revised regulations were issued on this subject jointly by CAO and the Justice Department in 1984.

Part 15 was last looked at in early 1982. As requested, although Hudson Regan's shop has normal responsibility for this part, l have revised it in accordance with the latest provisions contained in 4 CFR Parts.

101-105.

Although the bulk of the revisions to hrt 15 are conforming in nature, there is one major substantive change, i.e., that a hearing will no longer be required in order to suspend or revoke a license for nonpayment of i

fees under Par.s 170 or 171.

I believe this chan0e to be authorized by 4 CFR 4

Part 102 and not in contravention with 6186, AEA, or i 9(b), APA.

(Revision of Part 15 was also identified as a need by the recent review. of NRC fees program under OMB Circulars 123 and 127.)

I will be out of the office on leave during the period August 17-28.

If your comments / suggestions can be returned to me by August 28, I can incorporate them and pass the action to G.

Johnson, for Commission approval and publication of the proposed revision of Part 15 in the Federal Register.

'This new section is being added to provide that in the main the NRC will not grant a hearing in determining indebtedness, but rather will rely on the i

written record in making such decisions.

Hearings are provided for in instances where credibility or veracity aro at issue.

The NRC justifies this

-l change on the basis of guidance on this issue in 4 CFR Part 102 and on the i

i fact that almost all debts to the NRC are questionable, if at all, on the basis of mathematical or factual error on the part of the NRC (e.g., the debt was-improperly calculated or inspection costs were attributed to the wrong license) 'rather than becau.=e of a substantive factual dispute which would be decided on the basis of testimmy.

This proposed change is consistent with the restrictions contained in section 9(b) of the Administrative Procedures Act (5 U.S.C. 558(b)) and the authority proy nder Subchapter ll of' v

Chapter 37 of Title 31, U.S.C.

i 15.37 Interest, penalties, and ~ late payment administratise costs.

l This section is changed substantially by adding the following new paragraphs:

'.l -

-3 Paragraph' (e) provides that the NRC will assess against the debtor the costs of administratively handling a delinquent debt.

Para 0raph (f) codifies the NRC practice of assessing. penalty charges in j

q the amount of 6 percent per annum on dellnquent debts beginning 91 days 'after ' the delinquency but retroactive to the original due date.

Th'us, both Interest and penalties are calculated' from the same initial date.
