MARCH 3, 2022 ENCLOSURE C
Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards (NMSS)
Items of Interest Week Ending February 25, 2022 Revision of Fee Schedules: Fee Recovery for Fiscal Year 2022: Proposed Rule; 10 CFR Parts 170 and 171 [NRC-2020-0031; RIN 3150-AK44]
On February 23, 2022, the NRC published a notice in the Federal Register (87 FR 10081) 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 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. In addition, on August 20, 2021, the Chief Financial Officer granted a public interest exemption from the provisions in the fiscal year 2021 final fee rule that required fees for import and export licensing actions. Therefore, this proposed rule would not assess fees for import and export licensing activities in fiscal year 2022. Comments are requested by March 25, 2022.
