Mr. Soucy,
As we discussed by telephone on July 9, 2018, the following change may affect your license. However, you stated that you file for the Small Business fee annually, and this change should not affect that. In case you need to know about the changes, they are:
On June 25, 2018, the NRC amended 10 CFR 170.31 and 1 71.16 to add new subcategories for seven fee categories. Generally speaking, 10 CFR 170.31 and 10 CFR 171.16 assign the same fee to each licensee in the fee category, regardless of the number of locations of use that are authorized on the license. However, for some of these fee categories, the NRC staff determined that additional resources are required for licenses with multiple locations of use.
Therefore, the final 2018 fee rule includes new subcategories for each of the seven fee categories listed below, based on the number of locations of use (e.g. subcategories for 1-5, 6-20, and more than 20 locations of use):
- Manufacturing broad scope licenses under fee category 3.A.
- Other manufacturing licenses under fee category 3.B.
- Medical product distribution licenses under fee category 3.C.
- Industrial radiography licenses under fee category 3.O.
- Other byproduct licenses (e.g., portable and fixed gauges, measuring systems) under fee category 3.P.
- Medical licenses under fee categories 7.A. and 7.B.
The final 2018 fee rule, including the cost for each fee category, may be found on the NRC's public website at the following address:
https://www.nrc.gov/about-nrc/regulatory/licensing/fees.html#fee The NRC staff has developed new program codes for these new fee subcategories. A table at the end of this email maps the new program codes to the new fee subcategories.
Based on our review of the Location of Use license condition (typically Condition No. 10) on your license, we
have determined that you have six or more locations of use and that your fee category and program code will change. Based on the information currently specified on your license, your fee category and program code will change from Fee Category 3.P to 3.P(1) and Program Code 03121 to 04416. Location of use has been defined as the following:
- 1. An individual building or facility at one address.
2 2. A contiguous licensee-controlled geographic area, such as a campus or licensee- owned/operated/controlled business campus or park, is considered a single "location of use" and only one address is listed on the license. Sites that are not contiguous but are located in separate parts of a city, different city or state, are separate "locations of use" and separate addresses are listed on the license. 3. A temporary job site is not a "location of use." In addition, use of licensed materials at sea or on board a ship may be a separate location, specifically listed on the license, if it is a permanent job site.
If use at sea is not a permanent location but is a temporary job site, then it is not a separate location and its address will not be listed on the license.
If the locations of use currently listed on your license are not accurate and need to be revised, please submit the new information regarding each location of use. Your license may be amended accordingly based on the information you provide. If you have any questions concerning this change, please contact me at (610) 337-5040. Please submit any request for change by July 30.
