Nuclear Energy Innovation and Modernization Act (NEIMA)
Jason Shay, Director Office of the Chief Financial Officer Division of Budget
44 On January 14, 2019, the Nuclear Energy Innovation and Modernization Act or NEIMA was signed into law. NEIMA impacts the following areas in the NRCs Congressional Budget Justification (effective FY 2021):
- Corporate Support - NEIMA caps the NRCs corporate support costs at 30 percent of the annual budget request for FY 2021, stepping down to 28 percent in FY 2025 and beyond, to the maximum extent practicable.
- Operating Power Reactors Annual Fee - NEIMA caps the operating power reactor licensee annual fee to the amount established in the FY 2015 final fee rule, adjusted for inflation, to the maximum extent practicable.
- Requested Activities - NEIMA requires anticipated expenditures for requested activities of the Commission to be identified in the annual budget justification.
- Accurate Invoicing - NEIMA requires the appropriate review and approval prior to issuance of invoices; the development and implementation of processes to audit invoices to ensure accuracy, transparency, and fairness, and the modification of regulations to ensure fair and appropriate processes to provide licensees and applicants an opportunity to efficiently dispute or otherwise seek correction of errors in invoices for those fees.
Corporate Support 45 Since FY 2014, the Corporate Support budget has decreased by approximately $74.7 million, or approximately 22 percent.
