Dear Mr. Chairman:
The Omnibus 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.lF or FY 1998, the NRC must collect approximately $454.8 million through these fees.
In order to comply with the law, the Commission is amending its fee regulations in 10 CFR Parts 170 and 171. The proposed amendments to 10 CFR Part 170 would revise the professional hourly rates and " flat" licensing fees to reflect the costs of providing NRC licensing services to applicants and licensees.
-(* The proposed amendments to 10 CFR Part 171 would establish the amount of the FY 1998 annual fees to be assessed to operating reactors, fuel cycle licensees, transportation certificate holders, and materials licensees to recover costs not recovered through 10 CFR Part 170 fees.
The FY 1998 annual fees will increase by about 0.1 percent as compared to FY 1997. The slight increase in the annual fees results primarily from 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 proposed rule which is being transmitted to the Federal Register for publication. The notice provides for a 30-day public comment period.
