Section 117.4. Allocation of funds

(a) Because the number of spent nuclear fuel shipments and the resulting revenue fees generated from those shipments will vary from year to year, no predetermined annual fund amount can be established for the RTERF.

(b) An application from an eligible county or State agency will be processed by the Agency on an individual basis in the order that the application is received during a funding year—July 1 to June 30. The eligibility of an applicant, whether a county or State agency, is determined by the requirements in § 117.5 (relating to eligible expenditures).

(c) The allocation of funds to an eligible applicant will be determined as the result of the application review process described in § 117.6 (relating to application and review procedures for funding) and by the availability of funds being present in the RTERF at the time of the intended disbursement.

(d) The RTERF will not contain funds for discretionary use by an eligible applicant. Funding allocations will only be for the approved eligible expenditures.

(e) Funds that remain in the RTERF at the termination of the funding year—June 30—will be automatically placed in the RTERF of the succeeding funding year. That sum will be applied to only those funding requests submitted during that succeeding funding year.
