Ariz. Admin. Code § 9-7-1306

Current through Register Vol. 30, No. 50, December 13, 2024

Section R9-7-1306 - Application Fees and Annual Fees

A. The application fee or annual fee for each category and type is shown in Table 13.1.

B. The fee for a category D11 license, for a low-level radioactive waste disposal site, is $6,000,000 for years one through five. Based on data gathered during the first five years, the Department shall set a reasonable fee after consideration of the following factors:

1. Unrecovered costs that the Department may charge under A.R.S. § 30-654(B)(18), and

2. Actual costs incurred by the Department in regulating the licensee.

C. The fee for a category D16 license, providing reciprocal recognition under R9-7-320 of a radioactive materials license issued by the NRC or another Agreement state, is half of the annual fee for an Arizona license of the appropriate category and type. If there is no Arizona license of the appropriate category and type, the Department shall assess the "Full Cost" fee according to subsection (D) or (E), as applicable. The fee is due and payable at the time reciprocity is requested, and the general license does not become current until the fee is paid.

D. "Full Cost" for an application fee is based on professional personnel time for preparation, travel, onsite inspection, any reports, review of findings, and preparation of the license or registration or denial charged at $99 per hour and mileage charged at 44.5¢ per mile. The Department shall assess the licensee or registrant 90% of the estimated full cost of issuing the license or registration. The Department will assess for any remaining costs when it is prepared to issue the license, registration, denial, or if Department costs for the requested activity exceed $10,000.

E. "Full Cost" for an annual fee is based on professional personnel time for preparation, travel, onsite inspection, preparation of reports, review of findings, and preparation for any inspections or completion of any amendments to the license, registration or denials charged at $99 per hour and mileage charged at 44.5¢ per mile for the preceding 12 months.
