l Since final action on the revisions in the fee schedule published in the Federal Register on January 25, 1972 is still pending, it would be premature for us to establish a fee for your plutonium at this particular time.

As soon as the fee has been established we will provide you with information on the correct classification of your plutonium laboratory.
