APPENDIX A TO THIS PROPOSED RULE REGULATORY FLEXIBILITY ANALYSIS FOR THE 4
AMENDMENTS TO 10 CFR PART 170 (LICENSE FEES) AND 10 CFR PART 171 (ANNUAL FEES) f 4 i 5 ~
I. Backaround.
i The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, as amended, ;
(5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) establishes as a principle of regulatory practice that agencies endeavor to fit regulatory and informational requirements, consistent with applicable statutes, to a scale commensurate with the businesses, organizations, and l
government jurisdictions to which they apply. To achieve this principle, the Act requires that agencies consider the impact of their actions on small entities. If the agency cannot certify l that a rule will not significantly impact a substantial number of small entities, then a regulatory flexibility analysis is required to examine the impacts on small entities and the alternatives to minimize these impacts.
To assist in considering these impacts under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), first the NRC adopted size standards for determining which NRC licensees qualify as small entities (50 FR 50241; December 9, 1985). These size standards were clarified November 6, 1991 (56 FR 56672). On April 7, 1994 (59 FR 16513),
the small Business Administration (SBA) issued a final rule i 94

O !
changing its size standards. The SBA adjusted its receipts-based
, I
- size standards levels to mitigate the effects of inflation from
, 1984 to 1994. On November 30, 1994 (59 FR 61293), the NRC
- published a proposed rule to amend its size standards. After evaluating the two comments received, a final rule that would revise the NRC's size standards as proposed was developed and approved by the SBA on March 24, 1995. The NRC published the i
! final rule revising its size standards on April 11, 1995 (60 FR 18344). The revised standards became effective May 11, 1995.
The revised standards adjusted the NRC receipts-based size standards from $3.5 million to $5 million to accommodate inflation and to conform to the SBA final rule. The NRC also eliminated the separate $1 million size standard for private j practice physicians and applied a receipts-based size standard of
$5 million to this class of licensees. This mirrored the revised SBA standard of $5 million for medical practitioners. The NRC also established a size standard of 500 or fewer employees for business concerns that are manufacturing entities. This standard is the most commonly used SBA employee standard and is the standard applicable to the types of manufacturing industries that hold an NRC license.
The NRC used the revised standards in the final FY 1995 and FY 1996 fee rules and proposes to continue their use in this FY 1997 proposed rule. The small entity fee categories in 5171.16(c) of this proposed rule reflect the changes in the NRC's 95

- O O l size standards adopted in FY 1995. A new maximum small entity I
, fee for manufacturing industr.ies with 35 to 500 employees was.
established at $1,800 and a acwer-tier small entity fee of $400 was established for those manufacturing industries with less than 35 employees. T1.e lower-tier receipts-based threshold of
$250,000 was raised to $350,000 to reflect approximately the same percentage adjustment as that made by the sBA when they adjusted the receipts-based standard from $3.5 million to $5 million. The NRC believes that continuing these actions for FY 1997 will reduce the impact of annual fees on small businesses. The NRC l
size standards are codified at 10 CFR 2.810.
Public Law 101-508, the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990 (OBRA-90), requires that the NRC recover approximately 100 percent of its budget authority, less appropriations from the Nuclear Waste Fund, for Fiscal Years (FY) 1991 through 1995 by assessing license and annual fees. OBRA-90 was amended in 1993 to extend the 100 percent recovery requirement for NRC through 1998. For FY 1991, the amount for collection was approximately l 1
$445.3 million; for FY 1992, approximately $492.5 million; for FY 1993 about $518.9 million; for FY 1994 about $513 million; for FY 1995 about $503.6 million; for FY 1996 about $462.3 million and the amount to be collected in FY 1997 is approximately $462.3 l million.
To comply with OBRA-90, the Commission amended its fee 96
T T
{ regulations in 10 CFR Parts 170 and 171 in FY 1991 (56 FR 31472; July 10, 1991) in FY 1992, (57 FR 32691; July 23, 1992) in FY l 1993 (58 FR 38666; July 20, 1993) in FY 1994 (59 FR 36895; July 1
1 20, 1994) in FY 1995 (60 FR 32218; June 20, 1995) and in FY 1996 i
(61 FR 16203) based on a careful evaluation of over 1,000 l
j comments. These, final rules established the methodology used by NRC in identifying and determining the fees assessed and
. collected in FYs 1991-1996.
i l
The NRC indicated in the FY 1995 final rule that it would attempt to stabilize annual fees as follows. Beginning in FY I
1996, it would adjust the annual fees only by the percentage change (plus or minus) in NRC's total budget authority unless i
there was a substantial change in the total NRC budget authority
- or the magnitude of the budget allocated to a specific class of licensees, in which case the annual fee base would be d
recalculated (60 FR 32225;. June 20, 1995). The NRC also i
indicated that the percentage change would be adjusted based on j changes in the 10 CFR Part 170 fees and other adjustments as well Has an adjustment for the number of licensees paying the fees. As a result, the NRC is proposing to establish the FY 1997 annual fees for all licensees at 8.2 percent above the FY 1996 annual fees. Because the total amount to be recovered through fees in
- l FY 1997 is identical to the amount estimated for recovery in FY
] 1996, the NRC believes that establishing new baseline fees for FY j 1997 is not warranted.
97
Public Law 104-121, the Contract with America Advancement Act of 1996 was signed into law on March 29, 1996. Title III of the law is entitled the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (SBREFA) . The SBREFA has two purposes. The l first is to reduce regulatory burdens imposed by Federal agencies on small businesses, nonprofit organizations and governmental jurisdictions. The second is to provide the Congress with the i
opportunity to review agency rules before they go into effect.
Under.this legislation, the NRC fee rule, published annually, is '
considered a " major" rule and therefore must be reviewed by Congress and the Comptroller General before the rule becomes effective. Section 312 of the Act provides that for each rule for which an agency prepared a final regulatory flexibility analysis, the agency shall prepare a guide to assist small entities in complying with the rule. A regulatory flexibility analysis is prepared for the proposed.and final NRC fee rules as implemented by 10 CFR Part 170 and~171 of the Commission's regulations. Therefore, in compliance with the law, Attachment 1 to this Regulatory Flexibility Analysis is the small entity compliance guide for FY 1997.
II. Imoact on small entities.
'The comments received on the proposed FY 1991-1996 fee rule revisions and the small entity certifications received in response to the final FY 1991-1996 fee rules indicate that NRC 98
. . _ . _ . _ . _ _ _ . . _ ~ _ . . _- _. _ _ _ _ . _ _ _ _ . _ _ _ _ _ _ . _ _ _ . _ . . _ _ _
4 licensees qualifying as small entities under the NRC's size standards are primarily those licensed under the NRC's materials program. Therefore, this analysis will focus on the economic impact of the annual fees on materials licensees.
The Commission's fee regulations result in substantial fees being charged to those individuals, organizations, and companies that are licensed under the NRC materials program. Of these materials licensees, about 20 percent (approximately 1,400 licensees) have requested small entity certification in the past.
In FY 1993, the NRC conducted a survey of its materials licensees. The results of this survey indicated that about 25 percent of these licensees could qualify as small entities under the current NRC size standards. !
The commenters on the FY 1991-1994 proposed fee rules indicated the following results if the proposed annual fees were not modified:
Large firms would gain an unfair competitive advantage over small entities. One commenter noted that a small well-logging company (a " Mom and Pop" type of operation) would find it difficult to absorb the annual fee, while a large corporation would find it easier.
Another commenter noted that the fee increase could be more easily absorbed by a high-volume nuclear medicine 99
() .
U b '
clinic. A gauge licensee noted that, in the very competitive soils testing market, the annual fees would !
put it at an extreme' disadvantage with its much larger competitors because the proposed fees would be the same for a two-person licensee as for a large firm with j i
. thousands of employees. <
l J
4 Some firms would be forced to cancel their licenses. I
- One commenter, with receipts of less.than $500,000 per '
i year, stated that the proposed rule would, in effect, force it to relinquish its soil density gauge and )
i license, thereby reducing its ability to do its work effectively. Another commenter noted that the rule l
would force the company and many other small businesses to get rid of the materials license altogether.
Commenters stated that the proposed rule would result in about 10 percent of the well-logging licensees terminating their licenses immediately and approximately 25 percent terminating their licenses before the next annual assessment.
Some companies would go out of business. One commenter )
noted that the proposal would put it, and several other small companies, out of business or, at the very least, l make it hard to survive.
I j
100
t Some companies would have budget problems. Many medical licensees commented that, in these times of 4
slashed reimbursements, the proposed increase of the e
! existing fees and the introduction of additional fees 4
would significantly affect their budgets. Another noted that, in view of the cuts by Medicare and other third party carriers, the fees would produce a hardship and some facilities would experience a great deal of difficulty in meeting this additional burden.
Over the past five years, approximately 2,900 license, approval, .nd registration terminations have been requested.
Although some of these terminations were requested because the
~
-license was no longer needed or licenses or registrations could be combined, indications are that other termination requests were due to the economic impact of the fees.
The NRC continues to receive written and oral comments from i
small materials licensees. These commenters previously indicated that the $3.5 million threshold for small entities was not representative of small businesses with gross receipts in the thousands of dollars. These commenters believe that the $1,800 maximum annual fee represents a relatively high percentage of gross annual receipts for these " Mom and Pop" type businesses.
Therefore, even the reduced annual fee could have a significant impact on the ability of these types of businesses to continue to l
101 4

' O ,
t '
(
operate.
To alleviate the continuing significant impact of the annual fees on a substantial number of small entities, the NRC considered alternatives, in accordance with the RFA. These I
alternatives were evaluated in the FY 1991 rule (56 FR 31472; July 10, 1991) in the FY 1992 rule (57 FR 32691; July 23, 1992),
in the FY 1993 rule (58 FR 38666; July 20, 1993); in the FY 1994 rule (59 FR 36895; July 20, 1994); in the FY 1995 rule (60 FR 32218; June 20, 1995) and in the FY 1996 rule (61 FR 16203; April 12, 1996). The alternatives considered by the NRC can be summarized as follows.
I Base fees on some measure of the amount of radioactivity possessed by the licensee (e.g., number of sources).
Base fees on the frequency of use of the licensed radioactive material (e.g. , volume of patients) .
Base fees on the NRC size standards for small entities, f
The NRC has reexamined the FY 1991-1996 evaluations of the these alternatives. Based on that reexamination, the NRC continues to believe that establishment of a maximum fee for small entities is the most appropriate option to reduce the 102
_ ,) r impact on small entities.
i l The NRC established, and is proposing to continue for FY 1997, a maximum annual fee for small entities. The RFA and its l
l implementing guidance do not provide specific guidelines on what i constitutes a significant economic impact on a small entity.
i
- f. Therefore, the NRC has no benchmark to assist it in determining '
- the amount or the percent of gross receipts that should be i
charged to a small entity. For FY 1997, the NRC will rely on the 1
j analysis previously completed that established a maximum annual i fee for a small entity and the amount of costs that must be i recovered from other NRC licensees as a result of establishing f the maximum annual fees.
! The NRC continues to believe that the 10 CFR Part 170 license fees (application and amendment), or any adjustments to these licensing fees during the past year, do not have a 4 significant impact on small entities. In issuing this proposed rule for FY 1997, the NRC concludes that the 10 CFR Part 170 1
materials license fees do not have a significant impact on a l
! substantial number of small entities and that the 10 CFR Part 171 maximum annual small entity fee of $1,800 be continued.
1 l By maintaining the maximum annual fee for small entities at !
l $1,800, the annual fee for many small entities is reduced while f at the same time materials licensees, including small entities, 103
_ _ . . m.___. . _ _ _ _ _ _ . _ . . . _ . _ _ _ _ _ . _ _ . . . _ __ .. _ _ _ _ . -
pay for most of the FY 1997 costs attributable to them. The costs not recovered from small entities are allocated to other materials licensees and to operating power reactors. However, l the amount that must be recovered from other licensees as a i result of maintaining the maximum annual fee is not expected to increase significantly. Therefore, the NRC is continuing, for FY 1997, the maximum annual fee (base annual fee plus surcharge) for certain small entities at $1,800 for each fee category covered by each license issued to a small entity.
While reducing the impact on many small entities, the commission agrees that the maximum annual fee of $1,800 for small ;
1 entities, when added to the Part 170 license fees, may continue !
to have a significant impact on materials licensees with annual gross receipts in the thousands of dollars. Therefore, as in FY 1992-1996, the NRC is proposing to continue the lower-tier small entity annual fee of $400 for small entities with relatively low gross annual receipts. The lower-tier small entity fee of $400 also applies to manufacturing concerns, and educational institutions not State or publicly supported, with less than 35 employees. This lower-tier small entity fee was first established in the final rule published in the Federal Register on April 17, 1992 (57 FR 13625) and now includes manufacturing companies with a relatively small number of employees.
I III. Summarv.
104
v bD The NRC has determined the 10 CFR Part 171 annual fees significantly impacts a substantial number of small entities. A maximum fee for small entities strikes a balance between the requirement to collect 100 percent of the NRC budget and the requirement to consider means of reducing the' impact of the fee on small entities. On the basis of its regulatory flexibility analyses, the NRC concludes that a maximum annual fee of $1,800 for small entities and a lower-tier small entity annual fee of
$400 for small businesses and not-for-profit organizations with gross annual receipts of less than $350,000, small governmental jurisdictions with a population of less than 20,000, small manufacturing entities that have less than 35 employees and educational institutions that are not State or publicly supported and have less than 35 employees reduces the impact on small entities. At the same time, these reduced annual fees are consistent with the objectives of OBRA-90. Thus, the proposed 1 fees for small entities maintain a balance between the objectives of OBRA-90 and the RFA. Therefore, the analysis and conclusions established in the FY 1991-1996 rules remain valid for this proposed rule for FY 1997. In compliance with Public Law 104-121, a small entity compliance guide has been prepared by NRC and is shown as Attachment 1 to this Regulatory Flexibility Analysis. l 105

t 1 i Introduction i
The Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 i (SBREFA) requires all Federal agencies to prepare a written guide q for each " major" final action as defined by the Act. The NRC's i
fee rule published annually to comply with the Omnibus Budget I
[ Reconciliation Act of 1990 (OBRA-90) which requires the NRC to j
collect approximately 100 percent of its budget authority each year through fees meets the thresholds for being considered
" major" under the SBREFA. Therefore, in compliance with the law, i this small entity compliance guide has been prepared for FY 1997. !
, The purpose of this guide is to assist small entities in complying with the NRC fee rule.
i This guide is designed to aid NRC materials licensees. The j information provided in this guide may be used by licensees to j determine whetner they qualify as a small entity under NRC regulations and are therefore eligible to pay reduced FY 1997 annual fees assessed under 10 CFR Part 171. Licensees who meet NRC's size standards for a small entity must complete NRC Form-526 in order to qualify for the reduced annual fee. NRC Form 526 will accompany each annual fee invoice mailed to materials licensees. The completed form, along with the appropriate small entity fee payment copy of the invoice, should be mailed to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, License Fee and Accounts Receivable Branch, P.O. Box 954514, St. Louis, MO 63195-4514.
The NRC, in compliance with'the Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (RFA), has established separate annual fees.for those ;
materials licensees who meet the NRC's size standards for small entities. These size standards, developed in consultation with the Small Business Administration, were revised by the NRC effective May 11, 1995. The small entity size standards are found in 10 CFR 2.810 of the NRC's regulations. To comply with the RFA, the NRC has established two tiers of small entity fees.
2
O O These fees are found in 10 CFR 171.16 (c) of the fee regulations.
NRC Definition of Small Entity The NRC has defined small entity in consultation with the Small
! Business Administration. The definition is codified in NRC's regulations at 10 CFR 2.810. Under the NRC regulation, small j entities are:
- 1. Small business - a for-profit concern that i
provides a service or a concern not engaged in manufacturing with average gross receipts of $5 million or less over its last 3 completed fiscal years;
- 2. Manufacturing industry - a manufacturing concern with an average number of 500 or fewer employees based upon employment during each pay period for ,
- the preceding 12 calendar months; i
1
- 3. Small organization - a not-for-profit organization which is independently owned and operated and has annual gross receipts of $5 million or less;
- 4. Small governmental jurisdiction - a government of a city, county, town, township, village, school district or special district with a population of less than 50,000;
- 5. Small educational institution - an educational institution supported by a qualifying small governmental jurisdiction, or one that is not state or publicly supported and has 500 or fewer 3

- NRC Small Entity Fees I i
The NRC has established two tiers of small entity fees for I l licensees that qualify under the NRC's size standards.
Currently, these fees are as follows:
1
. Small Business Not Enanced Maximum Annual Fee in Manufacturina and Small Per Licensed Not-For Profit Orcanizations Catecorv (Gross Annual Recelets)
$350,000 to $5 million $1,800 Less than $350,000 $400 I

Manufacturina entities that j have an averace of 500 emolovees or less j 35 to 500 employees $1,800 1
Less than 35 employees $400 Small Governmental Jurisdictions (Includina oublicly succorted educational institutions) 2 An educational institution referred to in the size
- ' standards is an entity whose primary function is education, whose programs are accredited by a nationally recognized accrediting agency or association, who is legally authorized to provide a program of organized instruction or study, who provides an
, educational program for which it awards academic degrees, and 4
whose educational programs are available to the public.

t O O (Pooulation) l 20,000 to 50,000 $1,800 Less than 20,000 $400 Educational Institutions that are not State or Publiclv Suonorted, and have 500 Rmnlovees ,
or Less 35 to 500 employees $1,800 Less than 35 employees $400 To pay a reduced annual fee, a licensee must use NRC Form 526, enclosed with the fee bill, to certify that it meets NRC's size standards for a small entity. About 1,400 licensees certify each year that they qualify as a small entity under the NRC size standards and pay a reduced annual fee. Approximately 900 licensees pay the small entity fee of $1,800 while 500 licensees pay the lower-tier small entity fee of $400.
Instructions for comoletina NRC Form 526
- 1. File a separate NRC Form 526 for each annual fee invoice received.
- 2. Complete all items on NRC Form 526 as follows:
- a. The license number and invoice number must be entered exactly as they appear on the annual fee invoice.
- b. The Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Code should be entered if it is known.
5
\s,/
I
- c. The licensee's name and address must be entered as they appear on the invoice. Name and/or address changes for billing purposes must be annotated on the invoice.
, Correcting the name and/or address on NRC Form 526 or on the invoice does not constitute a request to amend the license. Any request to amend a license are to be l submitted to the respective licensing staffs in the NRC Regiona ~l or Headquarters Offices.
- d. Check the appropriate size standard under which the licensee qualifies as a small entity. Check one box only. Note the following:
(1) The size standards apply to the licensee, not the individual authorized users listed in the license.
(2) Gross annual receipts as used in the size standards includes all revenue in whatever form j received or accrued from whatever sources, not !
solely receipts from licensed activities.
(3) A licensee who is a subsidiary of a large entity does not qualify as a small entity.
(4) The owner of the entity, or an official empowered to act on behalf of the entity, must sign and date the small entity certification.
- 3. The NRC sends invoices to its licensees for the full annual fee, even though some entities qualify for reduced fees as a small entity. Licensees who qualify as a small entity and '
file NRC Form 526, which certifies eligibility for small entity fees may pay the reduced fee, which for a full year is either $1,800 or $400, for each fee category shown on the invoice depending on the size of the entity. Licensees 6
granted a license during the first six months of the fiscal l year and licensees who file for termination or for a
- possession only license and permanently cease licensed
, activities during the first six months of the fiscal year 4
pay only 50 percent-of the annual fee for that year. Such j an invoice states the " Amount Billed Represents 50%
i Proration." This means the amount due from a small entity is not the prorated amount shown on the invoice but rather one-l half of the maximum annual fee shown on NRC Form 526 for the
{ size standard under which the licensee qualifies resulting l in a fee of (either $900 or $200) for each fee category j billed instead of the full annual fee of $1,800 or $400.
e
- 4. A new small entity form is required to be filed with the NRC each fiscal year in order to qualify for reduced fees for that fiscal year. Because a licensee's " size," or the size standards, may change from year to year, the invoice reflects the full fee and a new. form must be completed and returned for the fee to be reduced to the small entity fee.
LICENSEES WILL NOT BE ISSUED A NEW INVOICE FOR THE REDUCED AMOUNT.

Present law Section 7601 of the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation ,
Act of 1985 (Public Law 99-272) requires the Nuclear Regulatory '
('a==*==ian (NRC) to collect annual charges from its liceneses. The amount of the charges: .
(1) when added to other amounts collected by the NRC (i.e.,
fees under the Independent Omess Approprintson Act of 1952, !
31 U.S.C. 9701), may not osasse 38 percent of the NRC's costs-and i
(2) must reasonably be related to the regulatory service pro- '
vided by the NRC and fairly reflect the cost to the NRC of pro-vtding the service.

Geoni years 1988 and 1989. ges Section 8001 of h Ommbus Budget Reconcdiation Act of 1989 (Public Im 101-289) amended h 1985 law by maintaining the amount of the NRC's costs rooovered by fees and annual charges at 45 percent for a third year, Ascal year 1990, Without new legisla-tion, the annount of the fees and annual charges will revert to 88 percent in fW year 1991. ..
House bill Sections 4502 and 5101 of the House bill would repeal section 7601 of b 1985 law and replace it with new, permanent aathority.
Both House provisions would require the NRC to collect annual charges in an amount to recover 100 percent of its budget authority (inclu ' budget authority for both Salaries and Expenses of the NRC the Omce of the Inspector General), less amounts ap ro.
priated to the NRC from the Nuclear Waste Fund established b 42 U.S.C.10222(c) and fees collected under the Independent ces Appropriation Act. Although all NRC licensees would be subject to fees under the Independent Offices Appropriation Act, only persons licensed to operate nuclear power plants would be assessed annual charges. The amount of the annual charges would be determined by the NRC by rule and v ould have to bear a reasonable relation-ship to the NRC's cost of providing regulatory services to the li-consee.
Senate bill Section 2 of Title V of the Senate bill, like the House bill, would repeal section 7601 of the 1985 law and would require the NRC to recover 100 percent of its costs it differs from the House provi-sions, however, in three respects. First, the Senate provision would authorise the NRC to impose annual charges for only five years, fiscal years 1991-1995. Second, it would permit (but would not re-quire) the NRC to assess annual charges against any person who !
holds an NRC license, not just utilities operstmg nuclear power plants. Thmi, it would recover 100 percent of the Saleries and Ex-penses of the NRC and but not of the expenses of the NRC's Office of the Inspector General.
Conference agreement In seneint-The conference agreement follows the Senate bill with three changes. First, the Senate bill would have codified the annual charge authority in the Atomic Energy Act of 1954: the conference agreement does not. Second, the Senate bill would have recovered 100 percent of the NRC's Salaries and Expenses only; the conference agrosesent recovers 100 percent of both the NRC's Sala-rios and Expenses and the NRC's Office of Inspector General.
Third, the Senate bill would have repealed section 7601 of the 1985 law; the conference agreement am-la it to provide a "Goor" on fees and annual charges equal to 88 percent of the NRC's budget authority. This floor would govern assessment of fees and annual charges after fiscal year 1995 unless Congress enacts new author-ity. ..

' "puntion of authority.-The conference agreement provides au-to collect fees and annual charges ual to 100 percent of 4 the s t for only five years, years 1991 through 1996. The s permanent authority to collect fees and annual canrges equal to 33 percent of the NRC's budget authority will con-tinue in force after fiscal year 1995.
Licensees sub : to assual e .-The conference agreement 1
pneerves the 'on the NRC under present law to eseems annual charges against all of its hoeneses. The confenes reaffirm the statement of the managers on the present authority. See 132 Cons. Rec. H879 (daily od. March 6, 1986); 132 Cong. Rec. S2725 (daify ed. March 4,1986).
4 The conferees note that in the NRC's report on the ensting i' annual charge system requested b section 7601(a) of the 1985 law, the Comm=mian found that "the e number of small licensees.
.the reladvely small fees which woul be collected, and the costa of admmiatoring such a collection program " make imposition of an annual charge on all of the NBC's approx,imately 8,000 non power-reactor licensees impracticable. The conferees also understand that the direct cost of regulating non-power reactor hcensees amounts to 2 appronmately three percent of the NRC's costs and that a substan.
tial percentage of the cost of providing regulatory services to non-power-reactor licensees are in fact recovered through fees assessed under the Independent Offices Appropriation Act. Finally, the con.
ferees note that the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Co-lumbia Circuit has concluded that the NRC "did not abuse its dis-
, cretion by falh'ng to impose the annual fee on all limneses." Flori.

or clanees of licensees. The Comminaion should l
..seems the charge for these costs as broadly as practicable in order i to mintmtse the burden for these costs on any licensee or class of licensees so as to establish as fair and equitable a system as is fea-sible.
- Calculation of the annual charge.-The conferees recognise that, I in directing the NRC to collect annual charges, "Congues must in- \
i dicate clearly its intention to delegate to the Executive the discre-tionary rectly toauthority to recover the benefit of ad=iaMrative costa not inuring di-ted parties" and that Congress must provule the agency "inte le gmdelines" for makmg these as- I noenments.

' \
1784 (1989) (upholding the law direettng the Secretary of Transpor-tation to collect user fees totalhng 105 percent of the cost of admin-istering the pipeline safety program). The conferees believe the conference agreement meets these requirements. .
