other civil sanctions issued by the Commission under Sec. 2.202 of

this chapter or for amendments resulting specifically from the

requirements of these orders. For orders unrelated to civil penalties

or other civil sanctions, fees will be charged for any resulting

licensee-specific activities not otherwise exempted from fees under

this chapter. Fees will be charged for approvals issued under a

specific exemption provision of the Commission's regulations under

Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (e.g., 10 CFR 50.12, 10

CFR 73.5) and any other sections in effect now or in the future,

regardless of whether the approval is in the form of a license

amendment, letter of approval, safety evaluation report, or other

form.\2\ Full cost fees will be determined based on the professional staff

time and appropriate contractual support services expended. For

applications currently on file and for which fees are determined based

on the full cost expended for the review, the professional staff hours

expended for the review of the application up to the effective date of

the final rule will be determined at the professional rates in effect

when the service was provided.\3\ Inspections covered by this schedule are both routine and non-

routine safety and safeguards inspections performed by NRC for the

purpose of review or follow-up of a licensed program. Inspections are

performed through the full term of the license to ensure that the

authorized activities are being conducted in accordance with the

Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, other legislation, Commission

regulations or orders, and the terms and conditions of the license.

Non-routine inspections that result from third-party allegations will

not be subject to fees.\4\ Imports only of major components for end-use at NRC-licensed

reactors are authorized under NRC general import license in 10 CFR

110.27. [53 FR 52648, Dec. 29, 1988]
