Fee Schedules: Fee Recovery for Fiscal Year 2025; Correction

EnergyEnvironment

Summary

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is correcting its fee schedule for fiscal year 2025, which determines how much companies that operate nuclear power plants and handle radioactive materials must pay for NRC oversight and licensing services. This correction ensures that the fees accurately reflect the agency's costs and are fairly distributed among the organizations it regulates.

Key Points

  • 1The NRC adjusted its fee amounts for 2025 to correct errors in the original fee schedule it published earlier
  • 2Companies operating nuclear reactors, processing radioactive materials, and handling nuclear waste will see updated fee bills based on these corrections
  • 3The corrected fees help cover the NRC's costs for inspecting nuclear facilities, reviewing safety applications, and protecting public health and the environment
  • 4Different types of nuclear operations pay different fees based on the level of NRC oversight required for their activities
  • 5This is a routine annual adjustment; the NRC recalculates fees each year to ensure the nuclear industry pays for the cost of federal regulation
