for assessment and collection of fees to be assessed and col-

subject to the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s ra-
diological emergency preparedness regulations. The aggre-
gate charges assessed pursuant to this section during fiscal

centum of the amounts anticipated by the Federal Emer-

be fair and equitable, and shall reflect the full amount of
costs of providing radiological emergency planning, pre-
paredness, response and associated services. Such fees will
be assessed in a manner that reflects the use of agency re-
sources for classes of regulated persons and the administra-
tive costs of collecting such fees. Fees received pursuant to
this section shall be deposited in the general fund of the
Treasury as offsetting receipts. Assessment and collection of
such fees are only authorized during fiscal year 1996.
