ATTN: Jonathan Wallace, CHP RD #2, Box 2140A Wampum, PA 16157
Dear Mr. Wallace:
I am responding to your July 1,1996, letter concerning annual fee Invoice i
AM0291-96 for Quality Assurance Program Approval No. 0791 (QA-0791).
You requested that the invoice, which assessed a fee of $72,700 for fee Category 10B(1),becorrected.
The bases for your request are:
- 1) your quality assurance program was for approval as a user only, not a fabricator of NRC-approved packaging; and
- 2) the September 19, 1994, letter requesting the approval stated that it was submitted to "... enabl? us to become authorized users of NRC-approved packagings."
Quality Assurance Program Approval No. 0791 was issued on October 6,1994, based on the QA program you submitted on September 19, 1994. The Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards has confirmed that, although your September 19, 1994, letter refers to use of the packaging, the QA program you submitted has a broadscope format (i.e., including design and fabrication commitments), and therefore QA-0791 was issued to authorize fabrication and design activities.
Accordingly, QA-0791 was correctly classified as fee Category 10B(1). Based on your-June 3,1996, letter which identifies non-applicable sections of your QA program, QA-0791 was revised July 9,1996, to authorize use only, and the fee Category has been changeu to 10B(2) effective July 9, 1996.
Your July 3,1996, letter confirms that you are and have been a user only, not a fabricator.
Although the FY 1996 annual fee was properly assessed, our records indicate that, through an oversight, you were not assessed an annual fee for FY 1995.
Because QA-0791 was issued October 6, 1994, it is subject to a 50 percent prorated annual fee for FY 1995.
Since you immediately made inquiries to the NRC concerning classification of the QA upon receipt of the FY 1996 annual fee invoice and prompt ~1y requested a downgrade of the program to user only when the classification was explained, we believe you would have taken these same steps had you received the FY 1995 annual fee invoice.
Based on the foregoing, the NRC:
- 1) grants an extension of time for purposes of downgrading QA-0791 to user only, fee Category 10B(2), to July 3,1996, for purposes of the FY 1995 and FY 1996 annual fees; 2) acknowledges there may have been a misunderstanding regarding the purpose of your QA program; and
- 3) acknowledges that Alaror, did not utilize the " fabricator" authorizations granted in QA-0791.
