Dear Mr. Goldberg:
Public Law 101508, .the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990, requires that the NRC recover 100 percent.of its budget authority, less the appropriation from the Nuclear Waste Fund, for fiscal years 1991 through 1995 by assessing license and annual fees. For FY 1992, the NRC must collect approximately $492.5 million through these fees as compared to $445 million for FY 1991.
On April 29, 1992, the NRC published a proposed rule in the Federal Reaister relating to 100 percent fee recovery for FY 1992 for public comment. The comment period expired on May 29, 1992. The NRC reviewed a total of 29 comments received through June 22, 1992 and in order to comply with the Public Law, the NRC is amending its fee regulations in 10 CFR Parts 170 and 171.
The final amendments to 10 CFR Part 170, which assess license and inspection fees for specific identifiable services: (1) increase the cost per professional staff-hour for all full cost fees; (2) increase all flat fees for radioisotope programs by seven percent based on the increased hourly rate; (3) refine the categories of fees for export and import licenses; and (4) codify the definition of nonprofit educational institution.
The final amendments to 10 CFR Part 171, which assess annual fees for costs not recovered through 10 CFR Part 170, establish the amount of the FY 1992 annual fees to be assessed to operating reactors, fuel cycle licensees, including fuel fabrication facilities, uranium recovery facilities, transportation certificate holders, and materials licensees. The FY 1992 annual fees are increased as compared to FY 1991. The FY 1992 annual fees are summarized as follows:

Approval Holders $1,650 to $62,950 Materials Users $580 to $16,550 Other Licensees $55,700 to $336,150 Those NRC licensees that qualify. as a small entity under the NRC's size standards are eligible to pay reduced annual fees. For example, a licensee with gross annual receipts of $250,000 to $3.5 million or a supporting population of 20,000 to 50,000 pay a maximum annual fee of $1,800 per licensed category. Those licensees with gross annual receipts of less than $250,000 or a supporting population of less than 20,000 pay an annual fee of $400 per licensed category.
