Date Petition Received | 08/17/2009 |
Petitioner | Harvey V. Lankford, MD |
That the recently-adopted radiological materials fee schedules be re-examined and
revised so as not to exceed comparable federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)
fees, that they be consistent with what the petitioner believes the Board represented
in regulatory promulgation documents (culminating in the March 2009 final regulations)
to the effect that licensees' fees would be "significantly reduced in most cases"
and would therefore be less than those imposed by the NRC.
Agency Plan
The agency will review all comments received in response to publication of this petition
and will look closely at the possibility of revising the fee schedules affecting radiological
materials licensees.

Agency Response Date | 02/01/2010 |

businesses.
