l The Honorable Joseph M. McDade, Chairman j
Subcommittee on Energy and Water Development Committee on Appropriations j
United States House of Representatives j
7?re-;-t:-7, DC 20515 Deer Mr. Chairman:
j v
The Omnibus Budget Reconcshation Act of 1990, as amended, requires that the NRC recover approditately 100 percent of its budget authority, ions the appropriation from the Nucisar Weste Fund, for Fiscal Years 1991 through 1998 by assessing license and annual fees / For FY 1997, the NRC i
]
must collect approximately $462.3 million through these fees.
In order to comply with the law, the Cc,ir,irW is amending its fee regulations in 10 CFR Part 170 j
and 171. The proposed amendments to 10 CFR Part 170 would revise the i,EL ::':{.el hourty rates and " flat" licensing fees to reflect the costs of providing NRC loensing services to appucents and i
hconeses 1
The proposed amendments to 10 CFR Part 171, which assess annual fees for costs not recovered j
through 10 CFR Part 170, would establish the amount of the FY 1997 annual fees to be assessed to j
operahng reactors, fuel cycle licenseos, transportsbon certificate holders, and matenals licensees. All
- of the FY 1997 annual fees will increase by about 8 percent as compared to FY 1996. The increase in j
the annual fees results primarily from a reduction in the amount of the budget recovered by 10 CFR Part 170 fees and other offsetting receipts as well as a reduction in the number of licensees paying i
~ fees. Those NRC heensees that can quellfy as a smou entity under the NRC's stre standards will j
contmus to be eligible to pay reduced annual fees.
I Enclosed is a copy of the proposed rule which is being transmitted to the Federal Register for pubhcabon. The nobce provides for a 30 day public comment period 1
Sincerely, Scs Acting Chief Financial Office-4 Enciosure Proposed Revision to l
10 CFR Parts 170 and 171
