    To provide authority for the NRC to recover costs of regulating 
                       Agreement State programs.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be referred to as the ``Nuclear Regulatory Commission 
Fee Equity Act of 1994''.

SEC. 2. COLLECTION AUTHORITY.

    Section 6101(c) of Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990 (42 
U.S.C. 2214) is amended to read as follows:
    ``(c) Annual Charges.--
            ``(1) Persons subject to charge.--Any licensee of the 
        Commission or any State with which the Commission has entered 
        into a cooperative agreement pursuant to section 274 of the 
        Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, may be required to pay, 
        in addition to the fees set forth in subsection (b), an annual 
        charge.
            ``(2) Aggregate amount of charges.--The aggregate amount of 
        the annual charge collected from all persons subject to such 
        charge, as identified in paragraph (1), shall equal an amount 
        that approximates 100 percent of the budget authority of the 
        Commissions in the fiscal year in which such charge is 
        collected, less any amount appropriated to the Commission from 
        the Nuclear Waste Fund and the amount of fees collected under 
        subsection (b) in such fiscal year.
            ``(3) Amount.--The Commission shall establish, by rule, a 
        schedule of charges fairly and equitably allocating the 
        aggregate amount of charges described in paragraph (2) among 
        persons subject to such charge as identified in paragraph (1). 
        To the maximum extent practicable, the charges shall have a 
        reasonable relationship to the cost of providing regulatory 
        services and may be based on the allocation of the Commission's 
        resources among licensees, classes of licensees, and States 
        with which the Commission has entered into a cooperative 
        agreement pursuant to section 274 of the Atomic Energy Act of 
        1954, as amended.''.

                                 <all>
