! 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, i
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 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- .,
