Revision of Fee Schedules; Fee Recovery for Fiscal Year 2020

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is amending the licensing, inspection, special project, and annual fees charged to its applicants and licensees. These amendments are necessary to implement the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990, as amended (OBRA-90), which requires the NRC to recover approximately 90 percent of its annual budget through fees less certain amounts excluded from this fee- recovery requirement. To mitigate the financial impact and economic disruption caused by the COVID-19 Pandemic, the NRC has suspended billing of annual fees and fees for services for the 90-day period of April through June 2020. Deferred fees will be billed in July 2020.
