Notes that the fees paid by industry vary substantially year by year, which complicates budget planning and that fees paid with regard to one regulation can only be used in that section of the Agency’s budget, which can mean surplus in one section and deficit in other sections of the budget; calls on the Commission to carry out a study to explore budget flexibilities in order to make it easier for the Agency to plan ahead;
