... May 27, 1997 The Honorable Dan Schaefer, Chairman Subcommittee on Energy and Power
' Committee on Commerce United States House of Representatives Washington, DC 20515
Dear Mr. Chairman:
The bm' nibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990, as amended, requires that the NRC recover approximately 100 percent of its budget authority, less the appropriation from the Nuclear Waste Fund, for Fiscal Years 1991 through 1998 by assessing license and annual fees. For FY 1997, the NRC must collect approximately $462.3 million through these fees.
In order to comply with the law, the Commission is amending its fee regulations in 10 CFR Part 170 and 171. The final amendments to 10 CFR Part 170 will revise the professional hourly rates and " flat" licensing fees to reflect the costs of providing NRC licensing services to applicants and licensees.
The final amendments to 10 CFR Part 171, which assess annual fees for costs not recovered through 10 CFR Part 170, will establish the amount of the FY 1997 annual fees to be assessed to operating reactors, fuel cycle licensees, transportation certificate holders, and materials licensees. All of the FY 1997 annual fees will increase by about 8 percent as compared to FY 1996. The increase in 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 fees.
Those NRC licensees that can qualify as a small entity under the NRC's size standards will continue to be eligible to pay reduced annual fees.
Enclosed is a copy of the final rule which is being transmitted to the Federal Register for publication.
The final rule will beconie effective 60 days after publication.
Sincerely, o
