Title: ●Revision of Fee Schedules; Fee Recovery, FY 2001 
Abstract: The proposed rule would amend the licensing, inspection, and annual fees charged to NRC licensees and applicants for an NRC license. The rulemaking is necessary to recover the NRC's total budget authority for Fiscal Year (FY) 2001, less the amount appropriate for the Nuclear Waste Fund and the General Fund. The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (OBRA) of 1990, as amended, requires that the NRC accomplish 100 percent recovery through the assessment of fees. However, in order to address fairness and equity concerns related to charging NRC licensees for agency expenses that do not provide a benefit to the licensee, the FY 2001 Energy and Water Development Appropriations Act requires that only 98 percent of the NRC's new budget authority (i.e., NRC's total budget authority, less the amount appropriated for the Nuclear Waste Fund and the General Fund) be collected from fees in FY 2001 -- decreasing by 2 percent per year to 90 percent by FY 2005. The dollar amount to be recovered for FY 2001 is approximately $453.3 million. OBRA requires that the fees for FY 2001 must be collected by September 30, 2001.
