The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is amending the licensing, inspection, and annual fees charged to its applicants and licensees. The amendments are necessary to implement the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990 (OBRA-90), which mandates that the NRC recover approximately 100 percent of its budget authority in Fiscal Year (FY) 1998, less amounts appropriated from the Nuclear Waste Fund (NWF). The amount to be recovered for FY 1998 is approximately $454.8 million. The NRC is also providing additional payment methods for civil penalties and indemnity fees, as well as annual and licensing fees.
