ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS
The Director of the Federal Emergency Management
Agency shall promulgate through rulemaking a methodol-
ogy for assessment and collection of fees to be assessed
and collected in fiscal year 1995 applicable to persons sub-
HR 4624 RS
ject to the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s ra-
diological emergency preparedness regulations. The aggre-
gate charges assessed pursuant to this section during fis-
cal year 1995 shall approximate, but not be less than, 100
per centum of the amounts anticipated by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency to be obligated for its ra-
diological emergency 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 plan-
ning, preparedness, response and associated services. 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 fis-
cal year 1995.
Of the budgetary resources available to the Federal
Emergency Management Agency during fiscal year 1995,
$1,441,000 are permanently canceled. The Director of the
Federal Emergency Management Agency shall allocate the
amount of budgetary resources canceled among the Agen-
cy’s accounts available for procurement and procurement-
related expenses. Amounts available for procurement and
HR 4624 RS
procurement-related expenses in each such account shall
be reduced by the amount allocated to such account. For
the purposes of this paragraph, the definition of ‘‘procure-
ment’’ includes all stages of the process of acquiring prop-
erty or services, beginning with the process of determining
a need for a product or service and ending with contract
completion and closeout, as specified in 41 U.S.C. 403(2).
