Nope, as one of the few (only?) EEPROM PIC's out there, the 16C84 and 16F84
PIC's need no OTP version.  The reason the UV erasable versions of the
 other PIC's are so much more expensive is the quartz window and ceramic
package necessary to allow EPROM erasure.  The 16x84 devices can use a
plastic package like the OTP devices so there is no need for an OTP
version.  I find the 16x84 devices to be very reasonably priced, not much
over the OTP versions of many low-end PIC's, but I guess if you are talking
volumes in the thousands, every penny counts.
