Separate charges as shown in the schedule will be assessed for applications for new licenses and approvals, issuance of new licenses and approvals, and amendments and renewals to existing licenses and approvals. The following guidelines apply to these charges: (a) Application fees. Applications for materials licenses and approvals shall be accompanied by the prescribed application fee for each category, except that applications for licenses covering more than one fee category of special nuclear material (excluding category 1H) to be used at the same location, shall be accompanied by the prescribed application fee for the highest fee category. Where a license or approval has expired, the full application fee for each category shall be due, except for licenses covering more than one fee category of special nuclear material (excluding category 1H) for use at the same location, in which case the application fee for the highest category would apply. (b) License/approval fees. New licenses and approvals issued in fee categories 1A through 1H, 2A, 2B, 2C, 4A, 11A through 11E, and category 12, shall pay the license or approval fee for each category, as determined by the Commission when the review of the application or project is completed (see footnote 4), except that a license covering more than one fee category of special nuclear material in categories 1A through 1G shall pay a license fee for the highest fee category assigned to the license. (c) Renewal fees. Applications for renewal of materials licenses and approvals shall be accompanied by the prescribed fee for each category, except that applications for renewal covering more than one fee category of special-nuclear material (excluding category 1H) to be used at the same location, shall be accompanied by the prescribed renewal fee for the highest fee category. When the review of an application for renewal is complete for licenses in fee categories 1A through 1H, 2A, 2B, 2C, and 4A, the Commission will examine the renewal fee in accordance with footnote 4, and will refund any overcharges of the renewal fee, if applicable. (d) Amendment fees. Applications for amendments shall be accompanied by the prescribed amendment fee(s). At the time an application for amendment is filed for licenses and approvals in fee categories 1A through 1H, 2A, 2B, 2C, 4A, 11A, 118, 11C, 11D, and 11E, the licensee or applicant shall provide an initial determination of the amendment class and state the basis therefor as part of the amendment or approval request, and shall remit the fee corresponding to that determination; however, when review of the amendment or approval is complete, the Commission will examine the amendment fee in accordance with footnote 4, if applicable, and will refund any overcharges to the licensee or applicant, or bill the licensee or applicant for the additional amendment fee. Amendments which result from written NRC requests may be exempted from these fees at the discretion of the Commission when the amendment is issued for the convenience of the NRC. An application for amendment to a license or approval classified in more than one fee category shall be accompanied by the prescribed amendment fee for the category affected by the amendment, unless the amendment is applicable to two or more fee categories, in which case the amendment fee for the highest fee category would apply. An application for amendment to a materials license or approval that would place the license or approval in a higher fee category or add a new category shall be accompanied by the prescribed application fee for the new category, except for applications for amendments increasing the scope of a licensed program from fee categories 1F to 1E, 1G to 1D, 3C to 3D, and 7C to 7B, in which cases the amendment fee for the higher fee category would apply. An application for amendment reducing the scope of a licensee's program shall pay the amendment fee of the fee category assigned to the license at the time the application is filed. Applications to terminate licenses shall not be subject to fees. 2 Licensees paying fees under categories 1A through 1H are not subject to fees under categories 11 and 1J for sealed sources authorized in the same license. Applicants for new licenses or renewal of existing licenses that cover both byproduct material and special nuclear material in sealed sources for use in gauging devices will pay the appropriate application or renewal fee for fee category 11 only. 3 A major amendment is defined as one requiring evaluation of many aspects of licensed activities where the proposed action could present a potential risk to the public's health and safety. A minor amendment is defined as one where safety, environmental, or safeguards considerations may be easily resolved. An administrative amendment is defined as an amendment that is pro forma, routine in nature, or has no safety, environmental, or safeguards significance. 4 When the review of an application is complete, the expenditures for professional manpower and appropriate support services will be determined and the resultant fee assessed, but in no event will the fee exceed that shown in the schedule of fees for materials licenses and other regulatory services. All administrative amendments are based on fixed charges. 5 Fees would be applicable only in those instances where a site safety and environmental review has been performed and documented by the Commission for the site at which the storage facility is to be located. Fee is applicable to a license authorizing either production scale activity or research and development scale activity. 7 A type A quantity is defined in § 71.4(q) of 10 CFR Part 71. 8 Charge will be separately determined by the Commission taking into account the professional manpower required to conduct the review multiplied by the applicable cost per man-year, plus any appropriate support services costs incurred.
