NIA Public Comments
NIA submitted public comments on NRC’s proposed rule, Fee Schedules: Fee Recovery for Fiscal Year 2026. NIA generally supports NRC fee reform but has legal and policy concerns about NRC's proposal to establish caps on service fees for NRC licensing actions that require a final safety evaluation, and therefore recommends excluding them from the final rule. While NIA agrees with NRC's objective to “drive increased efficiency and accountability in the NRC's licensing activities and other activities requested by applicants and licensees,” NIA disagrees that NRC’s proposed fee caps will further that objective.
