{"abstract":"The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is proposing to amend the licensing, inspection, special project, and annual fees charged to its applicants and licensees. These proposed amendments are necessary to implement the Nuclear Energy Innovation and Modernization Act (NEIMA), which, starting in fiscal year (FY) 2021, requires the NRC to recover, to the maximum extent practicable, approximately 100 percent of its annual budget less certain amounts excluded from this fee-recovery requirement. In addition, the NRC is also proposing improvements associated with fee invoicing to implement provisions in NEIMA.","action":"Proposed rule.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION","name":"Nuclear Regulatory Commission","id":383,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/nuclear-regulatory-commission","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/383","parent_id":null,"slug":"nuclear-regulatory-commission"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2021/02/22/2021-03282.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":"15","title":10},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":"170","title":10},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":"171","title":10}],"citation":"86 FR 10459","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":"2021-03-24","correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Submit comments by March 24, 2021.
