Response to Stakeholder Comments on Fee Matrix Kevin Ramsey March 27, 2018 1

Agenda

In December 2017, we conducted a public meeting introducing 3 possible approaches to calculating annual fees.

We will discuss the comments received on each approach.

We will introduce 2 additional approaches that grew out of the comments received.

We will discuss next steps.

2

Comments on Possible Approaches

Status Quo - Feedback was mixed.

Uniform Approach - Feedback was mixed.

Combination Approach - Feedback was mostly negative.

- 85% uniform distribution

- 15% proportional distribution based on billing data for direct services 3

Expanded Set of Possible Approaches

Status Quo (No change at all)

Uniform Approach

Combination Approach (85/15 method)

(NEW) Current matrix with revisions

(NEW) Matrix based on regulated areas 4

Current Matrix with Revisions 5

In response to the comment that factor of 10 difference between high and low is unreasonable, we changed the definitions of high, medium and low from 10-5-1 to 3-2-1.

In response to the comment that Solid UF6 effort for an Enrichment facility should be consistent with the effort for a Category III Fuel Fabrication facility, we lowered the score from high to medium.

In response to the comment that there should be a column for physical security, we added a column.

Matrix Based on Areas Regulated 8

There was a comment that the matrix should include areas that are not technically a licensed process (sensitive information and physical security).

What if we based the whole matrix on areas regulated by NRC (instead of processes)?

Questions on Approaches

Are there any comments on the revisions included in the first new possible approach?

Are there other revisions we should make?

Is the matrix of regulated areas a better approach?

Should the effort factors assigned to regulated areas be different? If so, why?

Are there other approaches we should consider?

11

Next Steps

Request comments in connection with this public meeting by April 27, 2018.

After evaluating the comments, the NRC staff plans to prepare any recommendations on this issue to be included in the Commission paper for the FY19 Proposed Fee Rule.
