FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY


Fee for Services To Support FEMA's Offsite Radiological Emergency 
Preparedness (REP) Program

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with regulations FEMA has established a Fiscal 
Year (FY) 2002 hourly rate of $36.71 for assessing and collecting fees 
from Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) licensees for services 
provided by FEMA personnel for FEMA's REP Program.

DATES: This user fee hourly rate is effective for FY 2002 (October 1, 
2001, to September 30, 2002).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Russell Salter, Division Director, 
Technological Hazards Division, Readiness, Response, and Recovery 
Directorate, Federal Emergency Management Agency, 500 C Street SW., 
Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646-3030 (phone), or (email) 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As authorized by Public Law 105-276, 112 
Stat. 2461, FEMA we will charge an hourly user fee rate of $36.71 to 
NRC licensees of commercial nuclear power plants for all REP Program 
site-specific related services provided by FEMA personnel as described 
in 44 CFR Part 354. FEMA will deposit these funds in the REP Program 
Fund to offset the actual costs by FEMA for its REP Program.
    FEMA established the hourly rate on the basis of the methodology 
set forth in 44 CFR 354.4(b), ``Determination of site-specific biennial 
exercise related component for FEMA personnel,'' and will use the rate 
to assess and collect fees for site-specific biennial exercise related 
services rendered by FEMA personnel. This hourly rate only addresses 
charges to NRC licensees for services that FEMA personnel provide under 
the site-specific component, not charges for services FEMA personnel 
provide under the flat fee component referenced at 44 CFR 354.4(d), nor 
for services that FEMA contractors provide. We will charge for FEMA 
contractors' services in accordance with 44 CFR 354.4(c) and (d) for 
the recovery of appropriated funds obligated for the Emergency 
Management Planning and Assistance (EMPA) portion of FEMA's REP Program 
budget.

Kenneth S. Kasprisin,
Assistant Director, Readiness, Response and Recovery Directorate.
