In comparison to FY 2020, the FY
2021 proposed annual fee for the uranium recovery fee class is decreasing primarily due to a decline in the budgeted resources because of an expected decrease in casework associated with uranium recovery policy issues, environmental review coordination activities, and guidance development.
The NRC regulates DOEs Title I and Title II activities under the Uranium
Mill Tailings Radiation Control Act UMTRCA.3 The annual fee assessed to DOE includes the costs specifically budgeted for the NRCs UMTRCA Title I and II activities, as well as 10 percent of the remaining budgeted costs for this fee class. The NRC described the overall methodology for determining fees for UMTRCA in the FY 2002 fee rule 67 FR
42625; June 24, 2002, and the NRC
continues to use this methodology. The
DOEs UMTRCA annual fee decreased compared to FY 2020 due to an increase in the 10 CFR part 170 estimated billings for the anticipated workload increases at various DOE UMTRCA
sites. The NRC assesses the remaining 90 percent of its budgeted costs to the remaining licensee in this fee class, as described in the work papers. This is reflected in Table XII:
