ACTION: Final rule; correcting amendment. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) published a final rule amending regulations that became effective August 23, 2016. The fiscal year (FY) 2016 final fee rule, published June 24, 2016, amended the licensing, inspection, special project, and annual fees charged to NRC applicants and licensees. This document corrects the annual fee for materials licensees in the category ``Nuclear laundries'' from the FY 2016 rate of $0 to the FY 2015 rate of $40,100. This correction allows Agreement States to continue to collect fees in this fee category. DATES: Effective Date: September 6, 2016.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michele Kaplan, Office of the Chief Financial Officer, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001, telephone: 301-415-5256, email: [email protected]. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NRC published a final rule amending regulations that became effective August 23, 2016. The FY 2016 final fee rule, published June 24, 2016 (81 FR 41171), amended the licensing, inspection, special project, and annual fees charged to NRC applicants and licensees. Fee category 6.A. under Sec. 171.16(d) includes fees for licenses for the commercial collection and laundry of items contaminated with byproduct material, source material, or special nuclear material [Program Code(s): 03218]. Because the NRC has no licensees in this category, the final rule inadvertently set the fee amount at $0. However, there are several Agreement States with licensees in this category. Agreement States that regulate nuclear laundries incorporate by reference the NRC fee schedule into their own regulations to establish their fees. To establish a fee for nuclear laundries in the absence of an NRC fee amount, the Agreement States would need to initiate a rulemaking, a timely and costly solution to fix the NRC's administrative oversight. Therefore, the NRC is correcting this oversight and changing the annual fee for fee category 6.A. for materials licensees from the FY 2016 rate of $0 to the FY 2015 rate of $40,100. This correction will have no material impact on the fees paid by NRC licensees for services; it will, however, allow Agreement States to continue to set and collect fees for regulated services in the equivalent fee category. Rulemaking Procedure Under the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553(b)), an agency may waive the normal notice and comment requirements if it finds, for good cause, that they are impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest. As authorized by 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B), the NRC finds good cause to waive notice and opportunity for comment on this amendment. This amendment is needed to correct an inadvertent error by the NRC, which removed the fee amount for nuclear laundries. The NRC incorrectly believed that there would be no consequences to removing the fee amount because there are no NRC-regulated nuclear laundries for which the NRC must collect fees. However, the NRC did not realize that many Agreement States regulating nuclear laundries base their fees upon the NRC-prescribed amount. Removal of the NRC fee would have the unforeseen and unintended adverse consequence of preventing those Agreement States from collecting fees from nuclear laundries regulated by those Agreement States. This rulemaking merely restores the previously prescribed fee for NRC-regulated nuclear laundries. The sole purpose of this rulemaking is to allow those Agreement States that base their fees on the NRC-prescribed amount to collect fees from nuclear laundries regulated by those Agreement States. As set forth earlier, this action has no effect on NRC-regulated entities because there are no NRC-regulated nuclear laundries. For these reasons, the NRC finds, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), that good cause exists to make this rule effective upon publication of this notice.

For the reasons set out in the preamble and under the authority of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended; the Energy Reorganization Act of 1974, as amended; and 5 U.S.C. 552 and 553, the NRC is adopting the following amendments to 10 CFR part 171: PART 171--ANNUAL FEES FOR REACTOR LICENSES AND FUEL CYCLE LICENSES AND MATERIALS LICENSES, INCLUDING HOLDERS OF CERTIFICATES OF COMPLIANCE, REGISTRATIONS, AND QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM APPROVALS AND GOVERNMENT AGENCIES LICENSED BY THE NRC 0 1.

The annual fee is waived for those materials licenses and holders of certificates, registrations, and approvals who either filed for termination of their licenses or approvals or filed for possession only/storage licenses before October 1, 2015, and permanently ceased licensed activities entirely before this date. Annual fees for licensees who filed for termination of a license, downgrade of a license, or for a possession- only license during the FY and for new licenses issued during the FY will be prorated in accordance with the provisions of Sec. 171.17. If a person holds more than one license, certificate, registration, or approval, the annual fee(s) will be assessed for each license, certificate, registration, or approval held by that person. For licenses that authorize more than one activity on a single license (e.g., human use and irradiator activities), annual fees will be assessed for each category applicable to the license. \2\ Payment of the prescribed annual fee does not automatically renew the license, certificate, registration, or approval for which the fee is paid.
