respect to Par *s 30, 40, and The information requested was with 10 licenses, and it i nc luded:
rationale for the present five year license term, (1) resources required to process renewals, (2) staf f views as to whether a five year license term is (3) appropriate, and staf f evaluation of alternative measures to expedite Parts reviews currently (4) 40 and 70 fuel cycle f acility renewa) underway.
A brief Commission inf ormation paper (SECY-77-475) was sub The entire on September 2,1977 and is summarized briefly below.
text is included as Appendix B.
to 1967, licenses and renewals for materials and fuel cycle Friae f acilities were written for dif ferent time periods (terms)
The term ranged anywhere dependent upon the type of licenso.
s from one year to five years.

.s In 1967, the Atomic Energy Commission amenced Part 40 to eliminate a three year restrictirn on the term' of source material licenses (there were no restrictions on the term of byproduct (Part 301 and special nuclear material licenses (Part 70)).
lhe Atom,c Energy Commission stated in its notice of proposed rulemaking regarding this action that licenses would be issued for five year terms, except in cases where the nature of the applicant's
=
proposed activities indicated a need for a shorter license period.
This procedure has been followed since the statement was
-issued.
The reason for the Atomic Energy Commission's 1967 action was to make the renewal time more orderly.
The Commission feit at that time that there was little justification for granting Parts 30, 40, and 70 licenses for terms of less than f 4ve years in view of (a) cumulative esperience up to that time, and (b) means available to the Commission to suspend, revoke, or modify such licenses if the public health and safety or environment so requires. The f
decision on the length of the license terni (five years) appears rather subjective.
However, experience since then has shown that the five year license term was not unreasonable in light of changes over the past in licensee programs, NRC ( AEC) regulations, and the like.
Further, SECY-77-475 illustrated the resources required for license renewals for fiscal years 19/3 through 1983 for noth material license renewals and fuel cyc~le fe-ility renewals.
The resources are cyclical in nature ranging from 3 to 9 manyears of a
