Sec. 3. (a) Annual license fees for radioactive materials are those set forth in 10 CFR 170, and other radioactive materials fees as described in 10 CFR 171:

(1) No refund shall be made if a license is terminated or suspended.

(2) If, by amendment or otherwise, a license changes to another fee category, the fee for the new category will take effect on the anniversary date of the license.

(b) Fees shall be paid using a method approved by the department.

(c) An initial application for a license must be accompanied by the appropriate fees set forth in 10 CFR 170. Thereafter, if the department approves the license application, the department shall issue an annual fee invoice in accordance with the appropriate fee schedule in 10 CFR Part 171 on a quarterly basis. The invoice quarter will be based on the month of license issuance. Invoices will be issued during the quarter prior. Fees shall be paid by the last day of the quarter as shown on the license fee invoice. This subsection does not apply to full cost recovery licenses.

(d) An application for reciprocal recognition of a license must be accompanied by the fees set forth in 10 CFR 170 and 10 CFR 171.

(e) The department shall not accept an initial application for a license or reciprocal recognition of a license before payment of the fees required by subsections (c) and (d).

(f) If a single license authorizes more than one (1) activity (e.g., human use and irradiator activities), annual fees will be assessed for each fee category applicable to the license. If a person holds more than one (1) license, the total annual fee assessed will be the cumulative total of the annual fees applicable to each license held.

(g) Special provisions for calculating annual fees during the agreement state transition period:

(1) The annual fees for the NRC licenses that are transferred to the state of Indiana on the date the state of Indiana becomes an agreement state shall be invoiced during the next invoice quarter based on the month of license issuance.

(2) During the first year after the date the department attains agreement state status, the annual fee for each NRC license transferred to the state of Indiana shall be prorated, based on the schedule of fees in 10 CFR 171, for the period from the date agreement state status is attained until the license's next invoice quarter.
