Administrative Cost Recovery

TVA proposes to amend its administrative cost recovery regulations by: Adding a provision requiring payment to TVA of nonrefundable application processing fees to recover the costs of reviewing plans for the construction, operation, or maintenance of dams, appurtenant works, or other obstructions affecting navigation, flood control, or public lands or reservations in the Tennessee River system under Section 26a of the TVA Act; eliminating cost recovery exemptions for agricultural licenses; firewood cutting permits; permits for the nonexclusive short-term use of TVA land; conveyance or abandonment of TVA land or landrights to States, municipalities, and political subdivisions and agencies thereof; and use of TVA land for utility line crossings; authorizing the responsible land manager to establish a standard charge for each category of action rather than determining the actual administrative costs for each individual action; increasing the range of fees for certain actions. The implementation of these regulations would allow TVA to recover more of its administrative costs incurred in processing certain actions from those persons who directly benefit from the actions.
