Dear Mr. Miller:
DOCKET NOS. 50-266 AND 50-301 INVOICES FOR INSPECTION FEES POINT BEACH NUCLEAR PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2 We have received invoices numbered 0712W and 0713W for inspection fees for the Point Beach Nuclear Plant during the period from March 21, 1985 to June 22, 1985.
In comparina the inspection man-hours listed in the printout provided with these invoices against the respective inspection reports, we have noted seve. cal discrepancies involving the number of man-hours charged to specific inspections.
Details of these discrepancies are discussed below.
The attachment to Invoice 0712W for Point Beach Unit 1 shows an inspection fee of.$5,300 for Incpection Report No. 50-266/84-09.
We have reviewed this inspection report which was provided with Mr. Keppler's letter dated December 12, 1984.
Please note that this report is not; in fact, an inspection report but the SALP Board Report for Point Beach covering the period from April 1, 1983 through September 30, 1984.
There are no inspector man-hours

Mr. William O. Miller January 31, 1986 Page 2 attributed to this report.
The report is also outside the period covered by this invoice period.
In addition, the majority of that SALP period was prior to the June 20, 1984 effective date of the current fee schedule.
For the above reasons, we believe the charge of $5,300 for the report is in error and should be rescinded.
We have also compared the number of man-hours invoiced against the inspector man-hours listed in the respective reports.
A comparison of these man-hours is provided in Attachment 1.
These figures demonstrate that the invoices for this inspection period have overcharged the inspection manpower by 66 man-hours.
This equates to $3,498 at the 10 CFR 170 man-hour rate proscribed for the Office of Inspection and Enforcement.
Please note that we have not contested the man-hours listed either for inspection preparation or documentation in disputing these invoiced fees.
We do question, however, what appears to be an excessive charge for documentation of Inspection Report Nos. 50-266/85-08 and 50-301/85-08 in that the documentation man-hours are over twice the man-hours spent on th? inspection.
We have enclosed herewith a check in the amount of $80,083 for payment of invoices 0712W and 0713W.
This represents the total of the'two invoiced amounts minus the fees contested in this letter.
Pursuant to 10 CFR 15.31 and 10 CFR 170.51, we request your review of these contested fees.
Very truly,yours, Of f 50
