MEMORANDUM FOR: John A. Skoczlas, Acting Chief Document Control Branch Division of Infonnation Support Services, ARM FROM:

Graham D. Johnson, Director Division of Accounting and Finance, ARM

SUBJECT:

PUBLIC'00CUMENT ROOM COPY OF ANALYSIS USED FOR DETERMINING THE PART 171 FY 1988 ANNUAL FEES FOR NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS WITH OPERATING LICENSES Enclosed are two sets of the subject analysis which is referred to in the August 28, 1987 Federal Register on pages 32625 and 32626. Please promptly send one copy by special messenger to the Public Document Room (PDR) at 1717 H Street, N.W., since its availability in the PDR was cited in'the Federal Register of August 28, 1987.

It should be accompanied by a note requesting that the PDR staff make the data immediately available for the general public and in a location they would normally find daily documents. The second copy is being provided to be processed in the normal manner through the DCS.

Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

.I' ANALYSIS FOR FY 1988 ANNUAL FEE (10 CFR 171)

FOR NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS WITH OPERATING LICENSES AS REFERRED TO IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER DATED AUGUST 28, 1987, AT 52 FR 32625 AND 32626 I

l Analysis of Part 171 Under current statute the NRC is to collect, for the General Fund of the Treasury, an amount up to 33 percent of the bedget.

In FY 1988 the President's budget for the NRC is $427.8 million.

Thus, the NRC should attempt to collect approximately $141 million for FY 1988.

It is estimated that approximately 4

$38 million will be collected from specific licensees under Part 170, but the remaining' funds, $103 million, will need to be collected under Part 171.

For

~

FY 1988, NRC's budget indicates that it will obligate about $149 million in obligations for generic work on behalf of all plants (and over $166 million for all generic work).

Since the 33 percent limit is still in effect, each of the 110 plants with an operating license and a rated thermal capacity in excess of 50,000,000 watts will be billed approximately $9'o thousand, ir. four quarterly invoices, during FY 1988.

For FY 1988 the budgeted obligations by direct program are:

(1) Salaries and Benefits, $183.4 million; (2) Program Support, $168.76 million; (3) Administra-tive Support, $65.14 million; and (4) Travel, $10.5 million.

In FY 1988, 1,613 FTE's are considered to be in direct support of NRC programs applicable to fees (see Table 1).

Of this amount, about 355 FTE's are identified to efforts defined as being in Part 171 for all plants, with the remainder being utilized in efforts associated with other generic activities, Part 170, or High-Level Waste.

Out of 3,250 FTE's, 1,637 FTE's will be considered in an administrative, overhead, or exempted program function.

Thus, only about 50 percent (the 1,613 direct FTE's) 1 of NRC's staff are being allocated to specific licensee or generic (or multi-licensee) issues.

A system which would allocate NRC costs of "doing business" to the licensee (s), for whom NRC is expending this effort, would establish fees based upon all of NRC's costs to pay for or support these 1,613 FTE's.

I l

Using this approach, and excluding Program Support funds, the remaining $259 million allocated uniformly over the direct FTE's results in a calculation of-

$160 thousand per FTE, as shown in Table II.

, Since Part 171 is designed to collect fees for NRC efforts of a generic or multi-license nature concerning licensees with power reactor operating licenses, the most feasible method to accomplish this is to develop fees based on NRC budgeted obligations for each NRC generic or multi-licensee program concerning plants with operating licenses.

The following analysis presents NRC's budgeted obligations per program element / activity.
