----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ Annual fees will be assessed based on whether a licensee held a valid license with the NRC authorizing
possession and use of radioactive material during the fiscal year. However, 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 prior to October 1, 1995, and
permanently ceased licensed activities entirely by September 30, 1995. Annual fees for licensees who filed for
termination of a license, downgrade of a license, or for a POL during the fiscal year and for new licenses
issued during the fiscal year 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. Licensees paying annual fees under Category 1.A. (1).
are not subject to the annual fees of Category 1.C and 1.D for sealed sources authorized in 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. Renewal applications must be filed in accordance with the requirements of
parts 30, 40, 70, 71, or 72 of this chapter.
\3\ For FYs 1997 and 1998, fees for these materials licenses will be calculated and assessed in accordance with
Sec. 171.13 and will be published in the Federal Register for notice and comments.
\4\ A Class I license includes mill licenses issued for the extraction of uranium from uranium ore. A Class II
license includes solution mining licenses (in-situ and heap leach) issued for the extraction of uranium from
uranium ores including research and development licenses. An ``other'' license includes licenses for
extraction of metals, heavy metals, and rare earths.
\5\ Two licenses have been issued by NRC for land disposal of special nuclear material. Once NRC issues a LLW
disposal license for byproduct and source material, the Commission will consider establishing an annual fee
for this type of license.
\6\ Standardized spent fuel facilities, parts 71 and 72 Certificates of Compliance, and special reviews, such as
topical reports, are not assessed an annual fee because the generic costs of regulating these activities are
primarily attributable to the users of the designs, certificates, and topical reports.
\7\ Licensees in this category are not assessed an annual fee because they are charged an annual fee in other
categories while they are licensed to operate.
\8\ No annual fee is charged because it is not practical to administer due to the relatively short life or
temporary nature of the license.
\9\ Separate annual fees will not be assessed for pacemaker licenses issued to medical institutions who also
hold nuclear medicine licenses under Categories 7B or 7C.
\10\ This includes Certificates of Compliance issued to DOE that are not under the Nuclear Waste Fund.
\11\ No annual fee has been established because there are currently no licensees in this particular fee
category.
