As you are aware,10 CFR 170 (" Fees for Facilities and ifaterials Licenses and Other Regulatory Services...") was revised effective June 20, 1934. Our lettor notice of May 24, 1984, addressed the major changes in the rule and transmitted a copy of the revised rule to you.

e JAN 171986 Since the revised rule became effective on June 20, the end of each six-month cycle for the above applications and services is the last flRC full pay period in December and June of each year. On this basis, the first six-menth cycle for then ended December 22, 1984, and the second six-nonth cycle ended on June 22, 1985. Recently bills were issued for most of the applications under cate;ory 1 above for the cycle ending Docenbar 22, 1984. Ne are actively ccmpiling data for billing categories 2 throuqh 5 above for the first six-nonth cycle and you can exp3ct to r9ceive bills from tha NRC's Office of Resource Management as we complete the fee computations for each category.

Each category will be on a separate invoice. Contractual costs cover the period of July through November 30, 1984. For those appifcations for which you paid the $150 appifcation foe, credit will be given in the first bills for this application fee. If the cost to December 22, 1984, is less than $150, the balance of the credit will be given in subseouent bills. Footnote 2 to the schedule in 10 CFR 170.21 provides that no application review costs will be less than $150.

If you have a question or wish to challenge a portion of a bill, we would suggast that you pay the unchallengod portion of the bill by the due date to avoid interest and penalty charges on that portion.
