special nuclear material or source material must be accompanied by the
prescribed application fee for the highest fee category.(2) Applications for new licenses that cover both byproduct material and
special nuclear material in sealed sources for use in gauging devices
will pay the appropriate application fee for fee category 1.C. only.(b) Licensing fees. Fees for reviews of applications for new licenses,

approval, safety evaluation report, or other form. In addition to the
fee shown, an applicant may be assessed an additional fee for sealed
source and device evaluations as shown in fee categories 9.A. through
9.D.\3\ Full cost fees will be determined based on the professional staff
time multiplied by the appropriate professional hourly rate
