In the 1990's and beyond, new low-level radioactive waste (LLW) disposal facilities will be developed by States and compact regions. These disposal facilities will differ significantly from the existing facilities in a number of ways. One of these ways may be the fee schedule used to determine how much is charged each of the LLW generators to dispose of its wastes. This report reviews the general concept of fee schedules. There are an infinite number of combinations of the potential elements for a fee schedule, but the report focuses on four kinds of schedules: volume-based schedules, activity-based schedules, annual use fees, and cost allocation schedules. The choice of which elements to use and the structure of the schedule will be determined by the facility operator or its regulatory authority. This document is intended to assist them in understanding the choices available and the potential impacts of the schedule that they select .
