8     (420 ILCS 20/13)  (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 241-13)
9     Sec. 13. Waste fees.
10     (a) The Department shall collect a fee from each generator

13 fee shall be $50.00 or the following amount, whichever is
14 greater:
15         (1) $1 per cubic foot of waste shipped for storage,
16     treatment or disposal if storage of the waste for shipment

24     treatment or disposal if storage of the waste for shipment

3 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, no fee under
4 this Section shall be collected from a generator for waste
5 generated incident to manufacturing before December 31, 1980,
6 and shipped for disposal outside of this State before December
7 31, 1992, as part of a site reclamation leading to license
8 termination.
9     (b) Each nuclear power reactor in this State for which an
10 operating license has been issued by the Nuclear Regulatory
11 Commission shall not be subject to the fee required by
12 subsection (a) with respect to (1) waste stored for shipment if
13 storage of the waste occurs on or after January 1, 1986; and
14 (2) waste shipped for storage, treatment or disposal if storage
15 of the waste for shipment occurs on or after January 1, 1986.

32 fiscal year. The fee due on July 1, 1998 shall be payable on

1 the Low-Level Radioactive Waste Facility Development and
2 Operation Fund falls below $500,000, as of the end of any
3 fiscal year after fiscal year 2002, the Department is
4 authorized to assess by rule, after notice and a hearing, an
5 additional annual fee to be paid by the owners of nuclear power
6 reactors for which operating licenses have been issued by the
7 Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The additional annual fee shall
8 be payable on the date or dates specified by rule and shall not
9 exceed $30,000 per operating reactor per year.
10     (c) In each of State fiscal years 1988, 1989 and 1990, in
11 addition to the fee imposed in subsections (b) and (d), the
12 owner of each nuclear power reactor in this State for which an
13 operating license has been issued by the Nuclear Regulatory
14 Commission shall pay a fee of $408,000. If an operating license

20 1988, $204,000 shall be paid on October 1, 1987 and $102,000

25 1989, October 1, 1989, January 1, 1990 and April 1, 1990. If
26 the operating license is issued during one of the 3 fiscal
27 years, the owner shall be subject to those payment dates, and
28 their corresponding amounts, on which the owner possesses an
29 operating license and, on June 30 of the fiscal year of
30 issuance of the license, whatever amount of the prorated fee
31 remains outstanding.
32     All of the amounts collected by the Department under this
33 subsection (c) shall be deposited into the Low-Level
34 Radioactive Waste Facility Development and Operation Fund

2 the owner of any nuclear power reactor that has an operating
3 license issued by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission shall pay
4 an annual fee of $30,000 per reactor, provided that the fee
5 shall not apply to a nuclear power reactor with regard to which
6 the owner notified the Nuclear Regulatory Commission during
7 State fiscal year 1998 that the nuclear power reactor
8 permanently ceased operations. The fee shall be due and payable
9 on July 1 of each fiscal year. The fee due on July 1, 1998 shall

19     All of the amounts collected by the Department under this
20 subsection (d) shall be deposited into the Low-Level
21 Radioactive Waste Facility Development and Operation Fund
22 created pursuant to subsection (a) of Section 14 of this Act

25     All payments made by licensees under this subsection (d)
26 for fiscal year 1992 that are not appropriated and obligated by
27 the Department above $1,750,000 per reactor in fiscal year

29 reduce the per reactor fees required under this subsection (d)
30 for fiscal year 1993.
31     (e) The Department shall promulgate rules and regulations
32 establishing standards for the collection of the fees

14 revenues (1) to pay all costs and expenses properly incurred or
15 accrued in connection with, and properly allocated to,
16 performance of the contractor's obligations under the
17 operating agreement, and (2) to provide reasonable and
