. Mr. Harold R. Denton December 3,1982 In accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR Part 170.22, Class III and Class I fees totalling $4,800 were forwarded to NRC with request, TVA BFNP TS 134, submitted by my letter to you dated December 17, 1979. That request was our original request for a shortened CILRT. Because the enclosed specifications are essentially an update to that previous submittal, not yet approved, we do not believe that additional fees are needed.
