Dear Mr. Chairman:
In December 1988, the Connission published a final rule which amended its i
regulations by revising the fee schedules contained in 10 CFR 170 and 171.
The revised schedules were adopted to permit the Commission to more fully recover its costs for identifiable services and to implement Section 5601 of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1987. At that time, the Consission indicated.in the final rule that a rulemaking to update the fees for radioisotope licenses (small programs covered by 10 CFR Parts 30,.40 and~70) and for inspection of these programs would commence in 1989.
We are now proposing to amend 10 CFR 170.31 to accomplish this.
The proposed amendments would (1) establish a ceiling of $50,000 for topical report reviews, (2) update the schedule of fees in 10 CFR 170.31 for small radioisotope programs including the addition of a fee for byproduct material applications for deconmissioning, (3)' amend 10 CFR 170.20 to change the cost'per professional staff-hour from $86 based on
'the FYJ1989 budget to $95 per hour based on the FY 1990 budget, (4)(a)(lete de exemption provisions in 10 CFR 170.11(a)(3) and clarify (a)(4) and 5) foreaseof.administrationincollectingfees,(5)addanewexemption provisionin10CFR170.11(a)(11)toprovidethatIndiantribesandIndian organizations will be exempt from payment of fees, and (6) revise 10 CFR 170.12(h) to request'that bills in excess of $5,000 be paid by t electronic fund transfer in accordance with U.S. Department of the Treasury cash management initiatives.
