UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION g
WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555

MAY 2 21985 Docket No. 50-320 l
Mr. F. R. Standerfer Vice President / Director, TMI-2 GPU Nuclear Corporation
)
Post Office Box 480 Route 441 South 4
Middletown, Pennsylvania 17057-0191
Dear Mr. Standerfer:
By letter dated July 13, 1984, it was requested that the Commission exempt GPU Nuclear Corporation from the fee requirements of 10 CFR 170 for Three Mile Island Unit 2 (TMI-2).
It is GPU's position that, as a result of the unique circumstances at TMI-2 leading to increased licensing r
activity,10 CFR 170 causes an undue financial burden on GPU and diverts
!J funds that are needed for a safe and expeditious cleanup of the facility.
GPU's estimate of fees to be assessed in 1984 was $1.1 million and thereafter $1.8 million each year.
f' Commission records show that fees paid for TMI-2 over a five-year period between March 28,1979, and July 31,1984, total $677,700 ($202,000 for licensing approvals and $475,700 for routine inspections). While the Comission s regulations have exempted and continue to exempt GPU from the payment of fees for review of procedures and those licensing activities v which are the direct result of the February 11, 1980 Commission Order, the-request to waive all fees for TMI-2 has been considered by the Comission and was denied on April 26, 1985.
I would note that an analysis of GPU's estimate of fees likely to be assessed shows the estimate to be excessive.
Experience does not l
support fees of one million dollars for 1984 or approximately two i
million dollars for 1985 and each year thereaf ter. Fees assessed for licensing and inspecticn activities in FY 1983 were $156,000, and i
through July 31,1984, they have been $101,000. The estimate for inspections appears excessive in that routine inspections under the L

current rule are limited by an annual ceiling of $300,000, and even though non-routine inspections are subject to actual costs, there is no reason to believe a significant increase in non-routine inspections will Occur.
If additional information is desired, please contact William O. Hiller, Chief. License Fee Hanagement Branch. 301/492-7225.
Sincerely.
