[Docket ID FEMA-2010-0007]

 
Fee for Services To Support FEMA's Offsite Radiological Emergency 
Preparedness Program

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has established 
a fiscal year (FY) 2010 hourly rate of $53.72 for assessing and 
collecting fees from Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) licensees for 
services provided by FEMA personnel for FEMA's Radiological Emergency 
Preparedness (REP) Program.

DATES: This hourly rate is effective for FY 2010 (October 1, 2009, to 
September 30, 2010).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: James R. Kish, Director, Technological 
Hazards Division, Department of Homeland Security/FEMA, 1800 S. Bell 
Street--CC845, Mail Stop 3025, Arlington, VA 20598-3025; (202) 212-2205 
(phone); or james.kish@dhs.gov (e-mail).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As authorized in 42 U.S.C. 5196e, FEMA will 
be charging an hourly user fee rate of $53.72 to NRC licensees of 
commercial nuclear power plants for all REP Program exercise-specific 
related services provided by FEMA personnel as described in 44 CFR part 
354. FEMA will deposit these funds in the REP Program Fund to offset 
the actual costs by FEMA for its REP Program.
    FEMA established the hourly rate on the basis of the methodology 
set forth in 44 CFR 354.4(b), ``Determination of site-specific biennial 
exercise related component for [FEMA] personnel.'' FEMA will use the 
rate to assess and collect fees for site-specific biennial exercise 
related services rendered by FEMA personnel. This hourly rate only 
addresses charges to NRC licensees for services that FEMA personnel 
provide under the site-specific biennial exercise component, not 
charges for services FEMA personnel provide under the flat fee 
component referenced at 44 CFR 354.4(d), and not for services that FEMA 
contractors provide.

    Authority: 42 U.S.C. 5196(e), 44 CFR part 354.

W. Craig Fugate,
Administrator, Federal Emergency Management Agency.
