- g3 SW Docket Nos. 50-498/499 Houston Lighting and Power Lompany

' Attn: Mr. M. R. Wisenburg Manager, Engineering and Licensing-P.O. Box 1700 Houston, Texas 77001 Gentlemen:

Your letters dated December 1 and 17,1987, requested:

a. A breakdown of professional staff review hours by reviewers and offices for the period of June-24,1984 through December 20, 1986, that were billed on Invoices G0269 (UnitNo.1)andG0270(UnitNo.2). These invoices were dated November 4, 1987.

b. An itemized list of contractual cnsts for the entire review period from CP w uances in 1975 through December 20, 1986,for each unit.

Enclosures 1 and 2 are in response to the above items "a" and "b". You will note from item "a" that for the six-month cycle ending December 20, 1986, there were 1,496.1 hours1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> indicated as being billable as OL review for Unit No. 1, but not. billed. Since Unit No. I has received an operating license and your Company has paid the $3,077,400 maximum fee, these hours will not be billed to Houston Lighting and Power, but we will add the sum of $92,758 ($62 X 1496.1) to the OL review cost records when we compute the cost for OL review through the issuance of the 100%

OL on March 22, 1988. Our November 4,1987 letter informed you that the Unit No. 1 OL review cost through December 20, 1986, was $5,011,077.

When the $92,758 is added to that, the cost through December 20, 1986, becomes $5,103,835 for Unit No. 1.

On Enclosure 2, we note that there is a total of $27,616 in contractual costs under FIN Number 80796 for Unit No. 2 relating to operator examinations for the period of June 1984 through December 1985. We are checking these costs further to determine if they should be far Unit No.1 in lieu of Unit No. 2. If we find-that they were erroneously reported to Unit No. 2, we will give credit for these costs on the next invoice for Unit No. 2 which will be for the six-month cycle that ended December 1987.

In addition to the above requests, your December 17, 1987 letter requested responses to two questions. The questions and our answers to them are as follows:

1. What is the' basis for the billable rate per hour and provide detail as to how this rate is developed?

Answer: Enclosed is a copy of NUREG-0268 which shows the basis for the hourly rate and how it was-developed for the rule change that became effective March 23, 1978. While NRC did not publish a NUREG document for the rates in the current 10 CFR 170.20, the same method set forth in NUREG-0268 was used.

2. What is the basis for the cost allocation between units for the various contracts?

Answer: _The Comissiori's established policy on allocations between units for the various contracts for cases under OL review has always been that where contractual services are determined by review staff to be fully applicable to each unit, the costs are split equally. When a review item is considered to be pertinent to a particular unit only, the costs are assessed against that unit.-

In filling your requests, every effort was made to be as specific and complete as possible for the types of details requested. We hope that the infonnation being provided will satisfy your needs.

Sincerely, 81gudbjs Reau.olas C. James Holloway, Jr. , Chief License Fee Management 8 ranch Division of Accounting and Finance Office of Administration and Resources Management
