Diane-B. Dando1s, Chief License Fee and Accounts Receivable Branch Division of Accounting and Finance Office of the Controller FROM:
Ronald D. Hauber, Director Division of Nonproliferation, kts and Multilateral Relations Office of International Programs
SUBJECT:
REFUND OF EXPORT LICENSING FEE (XR068/15)
On November 7,1995, the General Electric Company (GE) forwarded a lekter to the NRC requesting an amendment to their export license XR068. GE's 1120.00 check to cover the export licensing fee accompanied the amendment request; the check was forwarded to OC/DAF/LFDCB on November 16, 1995. OIP did not amend the license at that time since our office was in the process of reviewing all of the older active XR licenses to determine which ones could be terminated du. to the fact that all of the major reactor equipment had 1cng since been exp rted and the licensees were only using the licenses to export minor reactor components.
Since minor reactor components can be exported to most of the countries under the general license authority in 10 CFR 5110.26, we wanted to encourage the licensees to use the general license authority.
In a letter dated August 23, 1996 the NRC advised GE of our desire to terminate several of their old XR licenses since we felt they were no longer needed. GE agreed to terminating most of the old licenses, including XR068; we, therefore, will not be amending the license and ask that OC refund the
$120.00 licensing fee.
For your information, we are attaching copies of the above referenced correspondence and documents.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me or Betty Wright on 415-2344.

}<JLN Dear Mr. Hauber.
y[O This is in response to your referenced letter wherein it was indicated that our Project Licenses, XR064, XR068, XR077, XR080, XR096, XR097 and XRI 10 for specified boiling water reactors located in Italy, Spain, Switzerland and Taiwan, would be tenninated.
While we agree that the major components will no longer be exported and that the minor replacement cornponents (Appendix A, items (5) through (9) can be exported under the NRC's general export Scense in 10 CFR 110.26(a), we would like to request that the Project Licenses for Taiwan, XR080 for Chinshan Reactor Units I and II, and XR096 for the Kuosheng Reactor Units I and II not be terminated at this time.
We also utilize these licenses to export service equipment and tools for these reactors.
This tooling and equipment may be disposed ofor returned to GE or to another location in the United States, or transferred to the site of another reactor exported pursuant to a facility export license issued by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission to GE or to a power reactor located in the countries listed in 110.26(a). We may have only a days notice for the need of a special tool at these reactors dunng critical outages. Our exports may or may not be scheduled in advance. Additionally, the equipment and tools may or may not be radioactively contaminated. We need the flexibility that our NRC project licenses providea.
if the NRC Project I h is terminated, these exports would fall under the jurisdiction of j
the Department of Commerce (DOC). DOC at this time has a general license GNSG 1

Mr. Ron Hauber U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Page 2 ef 2 available. After November 1st when the new DOC regulations go into effect this will be i
referred to as "no license required (NLR)".
However this applies only to exports to the following countries: Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Luxembourg, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norw1 y, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Slovakia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and United Kingdom. As Taiwan is not included, we will be required to obtain a Special i
Comprehensive License. The DOC requirements to obtain a Special Comprehensive License are specified in 15 CFR Part 752 and includes 23 pages ofinstructions. It is our opinion that these requirements are overly burdensome.
We agree to the termination of the other Project Licenses.
However, we respectively request that our Taiwan Project Licenses, XR080 and XR096, be allowed to remain in effect. Thank you for your consideration ofour request and we await your reply.
T Sincerely, D
