Jackson Materials License Fee Section License Fee and Debt Collection Branch Division of Accounting and Finance Office of the Controller U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, D.C. 20555 On 30 October 92 we received a " Demand for Payment" from a collection agency for $'.,653.76 plus continually accruing interest for overdue payment of a Licensing fee for five instruments that use radiation to measure soil nioisture and density Attachment A is a copy of the " Demand for Payment". Attachments B, C, D, and E are copics of the " Radioactive Material License" issued by the State of Illinois Department of Nuclear Safety for these instruments. Note that it is dated May 2,1991 and expires June 30,1995. Our understanding was, and is, that State licensing only now is required for these devices. If this is incorrect; if both State und Federal licensing is reqtiired, please natify me promptly. without going through a collection agency - and we will pay the full amount immediately. We have not responded to your invoices AM07121-91 dated 08/09/91; 09/10/91; and 10/08/91 because cach stated that nonpayment of your annual fee may result in the revocation of your license. That is exactly what we were trying to do - drop our Federal License because we thought the Illinois license was sufLcient.. Yota October 18,1991 letter to Gary Kramer refers to an included 42 page document of the CFR (V56/N132/31472 through 31513) as indicating that a positive notification of not renevang a license is required. My reasonably thorough reading (one time only) of this document has not detected where this is stated, if State licensing is sullicient and we have erred by not notifying you that we did not want to renew the unnecessary Federal License, please consider out full payment of your direct billing such notification Very truly your, p6 Supervismg Engmeed Vehicle Development Peona Proving Ground G L.
