The revised schedules were adopted to permit the Comission to more fully c
l' recover its costs for identifiable services and to implement Section 5601 of
<the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1987. At that time, the Commission indicated in the final rule that a rulemaking to update the fees for radio-
- isotope-licenses (small programs covered by 10 CFR Parts 30, 40 and 70) and for: inspection' of these_ programs would comence -in 1989. We are now proposing to amend 10-CFR-170.31 to accomplish this.

per, professional staff-hour from $86 based on the FY 1989 budget to $95 per
- hour based on the FY 1990 budget (a()4) delete exemption provisions in
'10 CfR 170.'11(a)(3) and clarify (4) and (a)(5) for ease of administration m
Lin collecting fees,- (5) add a new exemption provision in 10 CFR 170.11(a)(11) j
'to provide-that Indian tribes and Indian organizations will be exempt from payment of fees, and (6) reviso 10 CFR 170.12(h) to reouest that bills in j
excess of $5,000 be paid _by electronic fund transfer in accordance with U.S.
Department of the Treasury cash management initiatives.
Enclosed is a copy of the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking which is being 'trans-
- mitted:to the-Office of the Federal Register for_ publication. This notice provides 30 days after publication for public comments.
