SUBJECT:
NATURA RESOURCES, LLC - ASSIGNMENT OF PROJECT NUMBER AND EXPLANATION OF BILLING AND FEES
Dear Mr. Robinson:
By \
letter dated January 29, 2024, (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML24030A014) Natura Resources, LLC (Natura) outlined its plans for interactions with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff during pre-application activities associated with Naturas commercial molten salt reactor. Based on the contents of that letter, the NRC staff understands that Natura intends to engage in preapplication activities beginning in calendar year 2025.
To facilitate these preapplication activities, the NRC staff assigned the Natura Resources reactor a project number. As such, Natura should reference project number 99902122 in all future correspondence supporting preapplication licensing activities with the NRC staff. The NRC staff time devoted to activities conducted specifically in support of Naturas anticipated application(s) will be charged to this project number. This is pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 170, "Fees for Facilities, Materials, Import and Export Licenses, and Other Regulatory Services Under the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as Amended."
Preapplication activities, and activities associated with the review of a license application will be billed in accordance with 10 CFR Part 170. Following the issuance of a license, Natura will also be billed, as applicable, an annual fee in accordance with 10 CFR Part 171, "Annual Fees for Reactor Licenses and Fuel Cycle Licenses and Materials Licenses, Including Holders of Certificates of Compliance, Registrations, and Quality Assurance Program Approvals and Government Agencies Licensed by the NRC."
NRC staff from the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation and the Office of the Chief Financial Officer are available to provide additional details on the NRCs fee structure and billing processes. Guidance on licensee fees can be found at the following website:
