Title: ●Revision of Fee Schedules; Fee Recovery, FY 2003 (Parts 170 and 171)
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, through the assessment of fees, approximately 94 percent of the NRC?s budget authority for FY 2003, less the amounts appropriated from the Nuclear Waste Fund and General Fund as required by the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (OBRA) of 1990, as amended. The FY 2001 Energy and Water Development Appropriations Act amended OBRA-90 to decrease the NRC's fee recovery amount by 2 percent per year beginning in FY 2001, until the fee recovery amount is 90 percent for FY 2005. The purpose of this amendment is to address the fairness and equity concerns related to charging NRC license holders for agency expenses that do not provide a direct benefit to the licensee. The dollar amount to be recovered for FY 2003 is approximately $526.5 million. OBRA-90, as amended, requires that the fees for FY 2003 be collected by September 30, 2003.
