(a) Calculation of Domestic Utilities' Annual Assessment
Ratio to the Fund. Domestic utilities shall be assessed
annually for their share of the Fund. The amount of the assessment
shall be determined by the ratio of SWUs produced by DOE and
purchased by domestic utilities prior to October 24, 1992, to the
total number of SWUs produced by DOE for all purposes (including
SWUs produced for defense purposes). All calculations will be
carried out to the fifth significant digit. This ratio is expressed
by the following hypothetical example:
SWUs purchased by all
domestic utilities
Total SWUs produced - all
purposes
Special assessment ratio
12345
÷
45678
=
.27026
(b) Calculation of the Baseline Total Annual Special
Assessment for Domestic Utilities. The Annual Special
Assessment ratio calculated in paragraph (a) of this section shall
be multiplied by $480 million, yielding the total amount of the
Baseline Total Annual Special Assessment as of October 1992. In the
event that this amount is in excess of $150 million, the Baseline
Total Annual Special Assessment shall be capped at $150 million.
All calculations will be carried out to the fifth significant
digit. The Baseline Total Annual Special Assessment is determined
as shown in the following hypothetical example:
Total fund
Annual assessment ratio
Baseline total annual special
assessment
$480,000,000
×
0.27026
=
$129,724,800
(c) Calculation of Baseline Total Annual Special Assessment
per Utility. The ratio of the total number of SWUs purchased by
an individual domestic utility for commercial electricity
generation, to the total number of SWUs purchased by all domestic
utilities for commercial electricity generation, multiplied by the
Baseline Total Annual Special Assessment calculated in paragraph
(b) of this section, determines an individual utility's share of
the Baseline Total Annual Special Assessment. All calculations will
be carried out to the fifth significant digit. A hypothetical
example of such a calculation follows:
Single utility SWUs
All utility SWUs
Utility ratio
Baseline total annual special
assessment
Individual utility special
Assessment
300
÷
12345
=
.02430
×
$129,724,800
$3,152,312.64
(d) Calculation of Inflation Adjustment. The Baseline
Total Annual Special Assessment billed to domestic utilities shall
be adjusted for inflation using the most recently published monthly
CPI-U and the CPI-U for October 1992. All calculations will be
carried out to the fifth significant digit. A hypothetical example
of such a calculation follows:
