Dear Mr. Chairman:
t On December 1,1989, the Comission published proposed changes to 10 CFR Part 170 of the Comission's fee regulations in the Federal Register.
By letter dated November 29, 1989, we informed you of the issuance of the proposed rule indicating that the 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 decomissioning; (3) amend 10 CFR 170.20 to change the cost per professional staff-hour from $86 based on the FY 1989 budget to $95 per hour based on the FY 1990 budget; (4 delete exemption provisions in 10 CFR 170.11(a)(3) and clarify (a)(4) and (a) ease of administration in collecting fees; (5) add a new exemption provision in 10 CFR 170.11(a)(11) to provide that Indian tribes and Indian 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 electronic fund transfer in accordance with U.S. Department of the Treasury cash management initiatives.
Enclosed is a copy of the final rulemaking for 10 CFR Part 170 that has been pubitshed in the Federal Register with an effective date of July 2, 1990.
This final rulemaking is being issued basically as proposed on December 1, 1989, except for (1) a downward adjustment to the professional staff-hour rate in 10 CFR 170.20 (from $95 to $92 per hour) based on changes made by Conqress in the Commission's FY 1990 budget and (2) based on public coment the S150 a)plicationfeein10CFR170.31isbeingeliminatedfortheseapplications w1ere fees are assessed based on the full cost of the review.
