March 10, 2020 ALL AGREEMENT STATES PROPOSED RULE - FEE RECOVERY FOR FISCAL YEAR 2020 (STC-20-018)
Purpose:
This is to inform you that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has published a proposed rule for comment to modify Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Parts 170 and 171 regarding the licensing, inspection and annual fees to recover approximately 90 percent of its Fiscal Year (FY) 2020 budget authority.
Background:
These amendments are reviewed annually to support budget needs to implement the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990, as amended, which mandates that NRC recover through fees approximately 90 percent of its FY 2020 budget authority less certain amounts excluded from this fee-recovery requirement. The proposed rule was published in the Federal Register on February 18, 2020 (Volume 85, Number 32, pages 9328-9356). The proposed rule assesses fees to those Agreement State licensees who perform work in Non-Agreement States under the reciprocity provisions of 10 CFR 150.20.
For FY 2020, the proposed reciprocity fee is $2,100. The proposed rule also includes a Schedule of Materials Fees for FY2020 which contains changes from the published final FY 2019 fees. The comment period for the proposed rule closes on March 19, 2020, comments received after this date will be considered if practicable.
Discussion: The proposed rule is no longer being printed, but is available on the Federal eRulemaking Portal at: http://www.Regulations.gov; and search under Docket ID:
NRC-2017-0228. The proposed Schedule of Materials Fees for FY2020 can be found on pages 9343 through 9349 of the February 18, 2020, Federal Register notice. The proposed reciprocity fee can be found at the end of the Schedule of Materials Fees on page 9348. Please inform your licensees of the proposed fee rule and how they can access it.
