Revision of Fee Schedules; Fee Recovery for FY 2006
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is amending the licensing, inspection, and annual fees charged to its applicants and licensees. The amendments are necessary to implement the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990 (OBRA-90), as amended, which requires that the NRC recover approximately 90 percent of its budget authority in fiscal year (FY) 2006, less the amounts appropriated from the Nuclear Waste Fund (NWF) and for Waste Incidental to Reprocessing (WIR) activities. The required fee recovery amount for the FY 2006 budget is approximately $624 million, which is increased by approximately $0.9 million to account for billing adjustments, resulting in a total of approximately $625 million that must be recovered through fees in FY 2006.

Business Loan Programs; Premier Certified Lenders Program Alternative Loan Loss Reserve Pilot Program
The U.S. Small Business Administration (``SBA'' or ``the Administration'') proposes to amend its Premier Certified Lenders Program (``PCLP'') in accordance with recent statutory amendments to the PCLP. Presently, under the PCLP, participating Certified Development Companies (``CDCs'') have increased authority in connection with making and servicing loans made under SBA's development company loan program (``504 Program''). One PCLP requirement relates to a loan loss reserve fund (``LLRF'') which a CDC participating in the PCLP (``PCLP CDC'') must maintain to cover losses it may incur in connection with the 504 Program loans (``504 Loans'') it has made under the PCLP (``PCLP loans''). Recent statutory changes to the PCLP include two pilot programs related to PCLP LLRF requirements. One pilot (``Pilot 1'') changes LLRF requirements by requiring the value of an LLRF to equal 1 percent of the combined outstanding balances of each debenture issued by a PCLP CDC to fund a PCLP loan (``PCLP Debenture''), instead of the combined original face value of those PCLP Debentures. Another pilot (``Pilot 2'') authorizes certain PCLP CDCs with significantly large LLRFs to elect to meet alternative LLRF requirements in lieu of certain existing PCLP LLRF requirements. The proposed regulations would implement requirements, procedures, and guidelines relating to Pilot 1 and Pilot 2.

Substantial Product Hazard Reports
Section 15(b) of the Consumer Product Safety Act, 15 U.S.C. 2064(b), requires manufacturers, distributors, and retailers of consumer products to report potential product hazards to the Consumer Product Safety Commission. The Commission publishes proposed revisions to its interpretative rule advising manufacturers, distributors, and retailers how to comply with the requirements of section 15(b). The proposed revisions identify certain factors the Commission and staff consider when assessing whether a product is defective or not. The proposed revisions also clarify that compliance with voluntary or mandatory product safety standards may be considered by the Commission in making certain determinations under section 15(b).\1\ In addition, the Commission may consider the adoption of an interpretative regulation related to the statutory factors for the assessment of civil penalties pursuant to section 20, CPSA (15 U.S.C. 2069(b), (c)). A separate Federal Register notice, if approved, will be issued for public comment.
