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]
