Dear Mr. Garrish:

Thank you for your letter dated July;22,1988, to Chairman m n.

recommending that NRC promote the development of standardized designs and suggesting that a waiver of certification fees for these designs .

> would encourage their development and is in the national interest.

The HRC is in the process of reviewing all conmen.t's on fees (for ,

standardized design reviews and certifications and other types of applications) resulting from publication of the enclosed proposed changes to 10 CFR 170 and 171 in the' Federal Register on June 27, 1988.- ' -l Your connents, as well as those by Mr. Delbert F. Bunch dated =

July 25, 1988,,' the Department of Energy, will be considered along with those receiv d from others. At such time as a final decision is made on fees for s andardized design reviews, appropriate notification will be provided to the industry and others.

If you have further concerns on the subject, let us know.

Sincerely, I Originni signed bz yictor-Stello y Victor Stello, Jr.

IMPORTANT N0flCE June 27, 1988 T0: ALL PARTS 30, 40, 50, 61, 70, 71, 72 AND 73 LICENSEES, APPLICANTS AND REACTOR VENDORS

SUBJECT:

PROPOSED REVISIONS TO 10 CFR 170 AND 171 ON LICENSE AND ANNUAL FEES Gentlemen:

On June 27, 1988, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Comission published in the Federal Register (53 FR 24077) for public comment the enclosed Notice of Proposed Rulemaking. This notice proposes revisions to the fee requirements of 10 CFR 170 ("Fees for Facilities and Materials Licenses and Other Regulatory Services...") and 171 ("Annual Fee for Power Reactor Operating Licenses"). These revisions are being made to update the current fees and to implement Section 5601 of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1987 (Public Law 100-203) eno aed by the Congress. The fee legislation requires the Comission to collect under 10 CFR 170 and 171, as well as under other provisions of law, not less than 45 percent of its costs for each of fiscal years 1988 and 1989.

Coments should be submitted by July 27, 1988. The NRC staff will hold a public meeting to discuss the proposed changes and to answer any questions on July 7, 1988, at 3:00 p.m. in Room 2F-17 at the NRC's White Flint North Building,11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland.

The major changes proposed to Parts 170 and 171 would:

1. Part 170:

a. Remove the fee ceilings for reactor and major fuel cycle permits, licenses, amendments and inspections,

b. Revise the hourly rate in 10 CFR 170.20 for NRC professional staff time spent providing various regulatory services and provide for an annual adjustment.  :

c. Charge for all routine and non-routine inspections; the current maximum billing frequency is being eliminated.

-f,w.QM h 5

d. Remove the application fee for reactor facility license amendments and other approvals, as well as for reactor related reports.

1

e. Remove the application fee for standardized design  !

approvals and defer payment of costs for standardized '

reactor design reviews and certifications until the  !

standardized design is referenced.

2. Part 171:

Revise upward the annual fee ceiling and change the method of allocating costs so that those licensees j requiring the greatest expenditure of NRC resources would pay the most fees.

In addition to the above, the notice being published solicits your ,

comments on a second option. Under this option, the Comission at this I time would not adopt any changes to Part 170 or Part 171 other than to l raise the annual fee so that the amount of fee collected by the l Comission under 10 CFR 171.15, when added to fees that would be l collected under '.0 CFR 170 as currently codified, would approximate, but not be less than 45 percent of the NRC budget. I l

All parties desiring to submit written coments for consideration should I send t%m to the Secretary of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Comission,  !

Washington, D.C. 20555, Attention: Docketing and Service Branch. l Questions re h ting to the proposed revisions should be directed to the  !
