ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS 
The Director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency Regulations. 
shall promulgate through rulemaking a methodology for assessment 
and collection of fees to be assessed and collected in fiscal year 
1995 applicable to persons subject to the Federal Emergency 
Management Agency's radiological emergency preparedness regula-
tions. The aggregate charges assessed pursuant to this section 
during fiscal year 1995 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 he 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 1995. 
Of the budgetary resources available to the Federal Emergency 
Management Agency during fiscal year 1995, $1,441,000 are perma-
nently canceled. The Director of the Federal Emergency Manage-
ment Agency shall allocate the amount of budgetary resources 
canceled among the Agency's accounts available for procurement 
and procurement-related expenses. Amounts available for procure-
ment and procurement-related expenses in each such account shall 
be reduced by the amount allocated to such account. For the pur-
poses of this paragraph, the definition of "procurement" includes 
all stages of the process of acquiring property 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).

accounts 
available 
for 
procurement 
and 
procurement-related 
expenses. Amounts available for procurement and procurement-

process of acquiring property 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). 
Notwithstanding the limitation on the availability of funds 
appropriated for "Human space flight", "Science, aeronautics and 
technology", or "Mission support" by this appropriations Act, when 
any activity has been initiated by the incurrence of obligations 
for construction of facilities as authorized by law, the amount avail-
108 STAT. 2328 
PUBLIC LAW 103-327—SEPT. 28, 1994 
able for such activity shall remain available until expended. This 
provision does not apply to the amounts appropriated in "Mission 
support" pursuant to the authorization for repair, rehabilitation 
and modification of facilities, minor construction of new facilities 
and additions to existing facilities, and facility planning and design. 
Notwithstanding the limitation on the availability of funds

funded facility for exclusive use in support of a contract or contracts

which the Administration would be required to substantially amor-
tize through payment or reimbursement such contractor investment, 
unless an appropriations Act specifies the lease or contract pursuant 
to which such facilities are to be constructed or leased or such 
facility is otherwise identified in such Act. The Administrator may 
authorize such facility lease or construction, if he determines, in 
consultation with the Committees on Appropriations, that deferral 
of such action until the enactment of the next appropriations Act 
would be inconsistent with the interest of the Nation in aeronautical 
and space activities. 
The unexpired balances of prior appropriations to NASA for 
activities for which funds are provided under this Act may be 
transferred to the new account established for the appropriation 
that provides funds for such activity under this Act. Balances so 
transferred may be merged with funds in the newly established 
account and thereafter may be accounted for as one fund to be 
available for the same purposes and under the same terms and 
conditions.
