UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON , D.C. 20555-0001 January 31, 20 18 The Honorable James E. Risch Chairman , Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship United States Senate Washington , DC 20510
Dear Mr. Chairman :
On behalf of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Comission (NRC) , as required by the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, I am reporting on the status of the agency provision of "Compliance Guides" to small entities for rules that affect them .
The agency directs much of its regulatory activity to NRC licensees that are not considered small entities under the size standards in § 2.810 of Title 1O of the Code of Federal Regulations, "NRC size standards." However, there are a few rules that do have a significant impact on a substantial number of small entities. A complete list of those rulemakings and their corresponding guidance documents is available on the agency's Web site at https://www.nrc.gov/about-nrc/regulatory/rulemaking/flexibility-act/small-entities.html.
Since our last report on this matter dated May 19, 2017, only one new rule has been determined to have a significant impact on a substantial number of small entities. This final rule ,
"Revision of Fee Schedules; Fee Recovery for Fiscal Year 2017," amended the licensing ,
inspection, and annual fees that the NRC charges to its applicants and licensees (82 FR 30682; June 30 , 2017).
If you have any questions or concerns regarding this matter, please contact me or have your staff contact Eugene Dacus, Director of the Office of Congressional Affairs, at (301) 415-1776.
Sincerely, rt" Kristine L. Svinicki cc: Senator Jeanne Shaheen
