Inspection Billing Enhancements The NRC is dedicated to improving transparency in its fee billing. In the staff requirements memorandum (SRM) to SECY-15-015, Project Aim 2020 Report and Recommendations (ADAMS Accession No. ML15159A234), the Commission approved staff recommendations intended to simplify how the NRC calculates its fees, improve transparency in the fee billing process, and improve the timeliness of the NRCs communications about fee changes. Since that time, the staff has been actively implementing those improvements. The revised licensee invoice is one major change.
Above is the old bill; at right is the improved bill.
