§2078 — Title 42 The Public Health and Welfare | U.S. Code

Summary

Before the Commission sets a guaranteed purchase price, the length of that price period, or rules for waiving fees for using licensed special nuclear material, it must send the proposal to the Energy Committees. Then 45 days must pass while Congress is in session; when counting those days, skip any day when either House is not in session because of an adjournment longer than three days. After the committees receive the proposal, they can, by written resolution, waive all or part of the 45-day wait.
