April 10, 2020 The Honorable John A. Barrasso Chairman, Committee on Environment and Public Works United States Senate Washington, DC 20510
Dear Mr. Chairman:
On behalf of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), I am providing an update to the Commissions April 3, 2020, response to your letter of March 27, 2020, requesting that the NRC consider temporarily deferring collecting fees and charges from NRCs licensees that are experiencing challenges given the COVID-19 Pandemic.
The Commission has approved a 90-day deferral of all annual-fee (10 C.F.R. Part 171) invoices that would have been issued in the third quarter of Fiscal Year 2020. The NRC is taking this action to temporarily mitigate the financial impacts and economic disruptions caused by the COVID-19 Pandemic. The new billing date for annual fees that were scheduled to be billed in the third quarter (April, May, and June) will be July 22, 2020.
We will continue to keep you and your staff apprised of substantive developments. If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me or have your staff contact Eugene Dacus, Director of the Office of Congressional Affairs, at (301) 415-1776.
Sincerely, Kristine L. Digitally signed by Kristine L. Svinicki Svinicki Date: 2020.04.10 14:54:29 -04'00' Kristine L. Svinicki
