ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISION
The Director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency
shall promulgate through rulemaking a methodology for assessment
and collection of fees to be assessed and collected beginning in
fiscal year 1996 applicable to persons subject to the Federal Emer-
gency Management Agency’s radiological emergency preparedness
regulations. The aggregate charges assessed pursuant to this section
during fiscal year 1996 shall approximate, but not be less than,
100 per centum of the amounts anticipated by the Federal Emer-
gency Management Agency to be obligated for its radiological emer-
gency preparedness program for such fiscal year. The methodology
for assessment and collection of fees shall be fair and equitable,
and shall reflect the full amount of costs of providing radiological
emergency planning, preparedness, response and associated serv-
ices. Such fees will be assessed in a manner that reflects the
use of agency resources for classes of regulated persons and the
administrative 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.
