Revision of Fee Schedules; Fee Recovery for Fiscal Year 2023

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. The proposed amendments are necessary to comply with the Nuclear Energy Innovation and Modernization Act, which requires the NRC to recover, to the maximum extent practicable, approximately 100 percent of its annual budget less certain amounts excluded from this fee-recovery requirement.

Dates
Submit comments by April 3, 2023. Comments received after this date will be considered if it is practical to do so, but the NRC is only able to ensure consideration for comments received before this date. Because the Nuclear Energy Innovation and Modernization Act requires the NRC to collect fees for fiscal year 2023 by September 30, 2023, the NRC must finalize any revisions to its fee schedules promptly, and thus is unable to grant any extension request of the comment period.
