NRC INFORMATION NO. 90-38, SUPPLEMENT 1: LICENSE AND FEE REQUIREMENTS
FOR PROCESSING FINANCIAL
ASSURANCE SUBMITTALS FOR
DECOMMISSIONING
Addressees:
All fuel facility and materials licensees.
Purpose:
This information notice supplement is being provided to present new
information on licensing and fee requirements for processing financial
assurance submittals for decommissioning as discussed in U.S. Nuclear
Regulatory Commission (NRC) Information Notice 90-38. It is expected that
licensees will review this information for applicability to their licensed
activities. The information in this notice does not constitute any new NRC
requirements, and no written response is required.
Discussion:
Information Notice 90-38 was issued on May 29, 1990, and informed fuel
facility and materials licensees of the licensing and fee requirements for
processing financial assurance submittals for decommissioning. Upon further
evaluation of the intent of the NRC rule entitled, "General Requirements for
Decommissioning Nuclear Facilities" (53FR24018, 06/27/88), NRC has
determined that financial assurance submittals required to be submitted to
NRC by July 27, 1990, will not be processed as license amendments and are
not subject to license fees under 10 CFR Part 170.
Requests to change or restrict authorized possession limits for byproduct,
source, or special nuclear material, or to delete radionuclides in response
to financial assurance requirements, will be processed as license amendments
and will be subject to the amendment fee for the appropriate fee category
assigned to the license. In addition, requests for exemption from the
financial assurance regulations will be processed as license amendments and
will be subject to amendment fees. However, fees will not be charged for
amendments to routine nuclear medicine, sealed source, and radiography
licenses, to establish a total possession limit, when such licenses were
written without a total possession limit as a result of NRC policy.
