How later courts describe this case
- charge was a “fee,” not a “tax,” because it helped pay for costs of administrative agency’s regulatory activities
- NRC empowered under IOAA to charge for EIS because EIS is prerequisite for license and part of cost of providing special benefit to licensee
- “So long as the service provides a special benefit, above and beyond that which accrues to the public at large, to a readily-identifiable [ ] individual, the fee is permissible.”
