Abstract:
Section 10(e) of the Federal Power Act authorizes the Commission to collect annual charges from hydropower licensees for, among other things, the cost of administering Part I of the FPA and for use of administering the costs of United States dams. Part 11 of the Commission's regulations provides the manner in which licensees are charged for such costs. Prior to the adoption of the current regulations in 1958 and 1963, administrative charges were not based on the actual costs of the government, but were in the nature of set fees that were billed for the calendar year. In addition, the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1986 authorizes the Commission to "assess and collect fees and annual charges in any fiscal year in amounts equal to all of the costs incurred by the Commission in that fiscal year."
