Subject: Nuclear Regulatory Commission: Revision of Fee Schedules, Fee Recovery for Fiscal
Year 2022
Pursuant to section 801(a)(2)(A) of title 5, United States Code, this is our report on a major rule
promulgated by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) entitled Revision of Fee
Schedules, Fee Recovery for Fiscal Year 2022 (RIN: 3150-AK44). We received the rule on
June 13, 2022. It was published in the Federal Register as a final rule on June 22, 2022.
87 Fed. Reg. 37197. The effective date is August 22, 2022.
The final rule, according to NRC, amends the licensing, inspection, special project, and annual
fees charged to its applicants and licensees. NRC stated these amendments are necessary to
implement the Nuclear Energy Innovation and Modernization Act, 42 U.S.C. § 2215, which
requires NRC to recover, to the maximum extent practicable, approximately 100 percent of its
annual budget less certain amounts excluded from this fee-recovery requirement.
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. If you have any questions about
this report or wish to contact GAO officials responsible for the evaluation work relating to the
subject matter of the rule, please contact Shari Brewster, Assistant General Counsel, at (202)
512-6398.
