Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 114 / Wednesday, June 16, 2021 / Rules and Regulations increase in generic transportation costs for materials users.
A constant multiplier is established to recover the total general costs including allocated generic transportation costs of $27.6 million. To derive the constant multiplier, the general cost amount is divided by the sum of all fee categories application fee plus the inspection fee divided by inspection priority then multiplied by the number of licensees.
This calculation results in a constant multiplier of 1.0 for FY 2021. The average inspection cost is the average inspection hours for each fee category multiplied by the professional hourly rate of $288. The inspection priority is the interval between routine
inspections, expressed in years. The inspection multiplier is established in order to recover the $7.7 million in inspection costs. To derive the inspection multiplier, the inspection costs amount is divided by the sum of all fee categories inspection fee divided by inspection priority then multiplied by the number of licensees. This calculation results in an inspection multiplier of 1.43 for FY 2021. The unique category costs are any special costs that the NRC has budgeted for a specific category of licenses. Please see the work papers for more detail about this classification.
The annual fee being assessed to each licensee also takes into account a share
32157

of approximately $0.087 million in LLW
surcharge costs allocated to the materials users fee class see Table IV, Allocation of LLW Surcharge, FY
2021, in Section II, Discussion, of this document. The annual fee for each fee category is shown in the revision to 171.16d.
h. Transportation The NRC will collect $1.4 million in annual fees to recover generic transportation budgeted resources in FY
2021, as shown in Table XVII. The FY
2020 fees are shown for comparison purposes.

In comparison to FY 2020, the annual fee for the transportation fee class is increasing primarily due to the following: 1 The decline in 10 CFR
part 170 estimated billings related to delays in new amendment packages;
and 2 an increase in the budgeted resources for contract costs due to a reduction in the utilization of prior-year unobligated carryover funding compared to FY 2020, an increase in the number and complexities of transportation package applications as a result of an increase in the number of power reactors in decommissioning, and the expanded use of accident tolerant fuels. The increase in the annual fee is partially offset by an approximate $0.1
million 10 CFR part 171 billing adjustment that was included in the
transportation fee class calculation due to the deferral of annual fees and fees for services due to the COVID19
pandemic.
Consistent with the policy established in the NRCs FY 2006 final fee rule 71
FR 30721; May 30, 2006, the NRC
recovers generic transportation costs unrelated to DOE by including those costs in the annual fees for licensee fee classes. The NRC continues to assess a separate annual fee under 171.16, fee category 18.A., for DOE transportation activities. The amount of the allocated generic resources is calculated by multiplying the percentage of total CoCs used by each fee class and DOE by the total generic transportation resources to be recovered.
This resource distribution to the licensee fee classes and DOE is shown
in Table XVIII. Note that for the nonpower production or utilization facilities fee class, the NRC allocates the distribution to only those licensees that are subject to annual fees. Although five CoCs benefit the entire non-power production or utilization facilities fee class, only 4 out of 31 non-power production or utilization facilities licensees are subject to annual fees.
Consequently, the number of CoCs used to determine the proportion of generic transportation resources allocated to annual fees for the non-power production or utilization facilities fee class has been adjusted to 0.7 so these licensees are charged a fair and equitable portion of the total fees see the work papers.
