Revision of Fee Schedules; Fee Recovery for Fiscal Year 2020

Nuclear Regulatory Commission

Abstract

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is proposing to amend the licensing, inspection, special project, and annual fees charged to its applicants and licensees. These proposed amendments are necessary to implement the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990, as amended (OBRA-90), which requires the NRC to recover approximately 90 percent of its annual budget through fees less certain amounts excluded from this fee-recovery requirement.

Action & Dates

Proposed rule.
Dates
Submit comments by March 19, 2020. Comments received after this date will be considered if it is practical to do so, but the NRC is able to ensure consideration only for comments received before this date. Because OBRA-90 requires the NRC to collect the FY 2020 fees by September 30, 2020, the NRC must finalize any revisions to its fee schedules promptly, and thus be unable to grant any request for an extension of the comment period.
