{"abstract":"The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is proposing to amend the size standards it uses to qualify an NRC licensee as a small entity under the Regulatory Flexibility Act and making the same change to its annual fee rule. NRC proposes to increase the receipts-based small business size standard from $5 million to $6.5 million to conform to the standard set by the Small Business Administration (SBA). This size standard reflects the most commonly used SBA size standard for the nonmanufacturing industries. SBA adjusted this standard on January 23, 2002 (67 FR 3041) and on December 6, 2005 (70 FR 72577) to account for inflation.","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/2007/08/10/E7-15554.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":2,"title":10},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":171,"title":10}],"citation":"72 FR 44988","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":"2007-09-10","correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"The direct final rule will become effective on October 24, 2007, unless significant adverse comments on the amendment are received by September 10, 2007.
