Sec. 5196e. Radiological Emergency Preparedness Fund

    There is hereby established in the Treasury a Radiological Emergency 
Preparedness Fund, which shall be available under the Atomic Energy Act 
of 1954 [42 U.S.C. 2011 et seq.], as amended, and Executive Order 12657, 
for offsite radiological emergency planning, preparedness, and response. 
Beginning in fiscal year 1999 and thereafter, the Director of the 
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) shall promulgate through 
rulemaking fees to be assessed and collected, applicable to persons 
subject to FEMA's radiological emergency preparedness regulations. The 
aggregate charges assessed pursuant to this section during fiscal year 
1999 shall not be less than 100 percent of the amounts anticipated by 
FEMA necessary for its radiological emergency preparedness program for 
such fiscal year. The methodology for assessment and collection of fees 
shall be fair and equitable; and shall reflect costs of providing such 
services, including administrative costs of collecting such fees. Fees 
received pursuant to this section shall be deposited in the Fund as 
offsetting collections and will become available for authorized purposes 
on October 1, 1999, and remain available until expended.
