SUBJECT:

Grand Gulf Nuclear Station Unit 2 Docket No. 50-417 License No. NPF-29 File: 0260/L-800.0 Ref: MAEC-85/0049 AECM-85/2-0005 MAEC-85/0153 Grand Gulf Nuclear Station, Unit 2 Bill No. D0192 AECM-85/2-0016 On May 8, 1985, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) sent to Mississippi Power & Light (MP&L) a second Notice of Bill for Collection, No.

D0192, requesting that MP&L remit $1,032,937.00 plus interest charges of

$21,140.10.

NRC regulations, 10 CFR 15.31, provide that the NRC may extend the due date of a bill when the debtor disputing the bill explains why the debt is incorrect in fact or law.

In the view of MP&L, that provision assumes that the debtor be provided sufficient explanation of the basis for the bill to be eble to ascertain whether it is incorrect. I!owever, the description of services rendered in the original bill indicated only that the assessment was for the operating license review in connection with Grand Gulf, Unit 2 for the period " Post-CP issuance through June 23, 1984."

Accordingly, on March 14, 1985 MP&L responded to the initial request by asking that it be provided with specific information needed to assess the correctness of the bill. This requested information included the nature, dates and staff offices performing reviews for which MP&L was charged.

MP&L also requested that the deadline by which the fee payment is due be extended until thirty (30) days after it received this information on the grounds that the requested information was necessary to determine whether the debt is incorrect in fact or in law within the meaning of 10 CFR 15.31 and 170.51.
