The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is amending its regulations to reflect an administrative change pertaining to an increase in the fee that is charged for processing nuclear power plant fingerprint cards which are associated with granting unescorted access to an operating reactor site, or access to Safeguards Information. This amendment is necessary to reflect a fee schedule change imposed by the FBI.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:.

Background

On June 29, 1990, the FBI's Identification Division notified the Nuclear Regulatory Connission that there would be an increase of three dollars in the user-fee charge for fingerprint cards submitted by the NRC effective October 1, 1990. The increase from $20 to $23 in the user-fee charged NRC by the FBI was necessitated primarily by the rising personnel costs of operating the

. FBI's central fingerprint repository. The amended rule is needed to adjust the fee each licensee pays for the FBI criminal history checks so that the NRC can process and submit the fingerprint cards in conjunction with the effective date of the FBI's rate change. The NRC handling charge is included in the new $23.00 charge.

2-Because this amendment solely deals with a fee schedule change ordered by the FBI, the notice and comment provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act are impracticable and unnecessary. This amendment is effective 30 days after publication'in the Federal Register. The increased fee applies to applications received by the NRC on or af ter October 1,1990.

Environmental Impact: Categorical Exclusion The NRC has determined that this final rule is the type of action described in a categorical exclusion 10 CFR 51.22(c)(2).

Therefore, neither an environmental impact statement nor an environment assessment has been prepared for this final rule.

Paperwork Reduction Act Statement This final rule does not contain a new or amended information collection requirement subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). ' Existing requirements were approved by the Office of Management and Budget under control nunber 3150 - 0002.

Backfit Analysis The backfit rule,10 CFR 50.109, does not apply to the action taken in this final rulemaking. Therefore, no backfit analysis has been prepared.
