The final rule amends the licensing, inspection, and annual fees NRC charges to its applicants and licensees. NRC is required by law to recover through fees approximately 90 percent of its budget authority in fiscal year 2011, not including amounts appropriated from the Nuclear Waste Fund, amounts appropriated for Waste Incidental to Reprocessing, and amounts appropriated for general homeland security activities. Based on the appropriations for fiscal year 2011, NRC's required fee recovery amount is approximately $915.8 million for the year. Enclosed is our assessment of NRC's compliance with the procedural steps required by section 801 (a)(1)(B)(i) through (iv) of title 5 with respect to the rule. Our review of the procedural steps taken indicates that NRC complied with the applicable requirements. GAO-1 1-818R
