                  15. Nuclear Waste Fund Fees [42 U.S.C. 10222]

      Sec. 302. (a) contracts.--(1) In the performance of his functions
    under this Act, the Secretary is authorized to enter into contracts with
    any person who generates or holds title to high-level radioactive waste,
    or spent nuclear fuel, of domestic origin for the acceptance of title,
    subsequent transportation, and disposal of such waste or spent fuel.
    Such contracts shall provide for payment to the Secretary of fees
    pursuant to paragraphs (2) and (3) sufficient to offset expenditures
    described in subsection (d).

                                      * * *

      (4) Not later than 180 days after the date of enactment of this Act,
    the Secretary shall establish procedures for the collection and payment
    of the fees established by paragraph (2) and paragraph (3). The
    Secretary shall annually review the amount of the fees established by
    paragraphs (2) and (3) above to evaluate whether collection of the fee
    will provide sufficient revenues to offset the costs as defined in
    subsection (d) herein. In the event the Secretary determines that either
    insufficient or excess revenues are being collected, in order to recover
    the costs incurred by the Federal Government that are specified in
    subsection (d), the Secretary shall propose an adjustment to the fee to
    insure full cost recovery. The Secretary shall immediately transmit this
    proposal for such an adjustment to Congress. The adjusted fee proposed
    by the Secretary shall be effective after a period of 90 days of
    continuous session have elapsed following the receipt of such
    transmittal unless during such 90-day period either House of Congress
    adopts a resolution disapproving the Secretary's proposed adjustment in
    accordance with the procedures set forth for congressional review of an
    energy action under section 551 of the Energy Policy and Conservation
    Act [42 U.S.C. 6421].

                                                              Sec. 1130(16A)
