Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 33 / Monday, February 22, 2021 / Proposed Rules regulations to establish a variable annual fee structure for light-water SMRs 81 FR 32617. Under the variable annual fee structure, an SMRs annual fee would be calculated as a function of its licensed thermal power rating.
Currently, there are no operating SMRs;
therefore, the NRC will not assess an
annual fee in FY 2021 for this type of licensee.
b. Spent Fuel Storage/Reactor Decommissioning The NRC proposes to collect $30.1
million in annual fees from 10 CFR part 50 power reactor licensees, and from 10
10467
CFR part 72 licensees that do not hold a 10 CFR part 50 license, to recover the budgeted costs for the spent fuel storage/reactor decommissioning fee class in FY 2021, as shown in Table VII.
The FY 2020 spent fuel storage/reactor decommissioning fees are shown for comparison purposes.

In comparison to FY 2020, the FY
2021 proposed annual fee for the spent fuel storage/reactor decommissioning fee class is increasing primarily due to the increase in the budgeted resources and the decline in the 10 CFR part 170
estimated billings.
The budgeted resources for the spent fuel storage/reactor decommissioning fee class increased primarily to support of the following: 1 Decommissioning activities associated with power reactors in decommissioning, including the transition of Duane Arnold from operation to the power reactor decommissioning program; and 2
waste research activities associated with accident tolerant fuel, high burnup, and enrichment extension fuels.
The 10 CFR part 170 estimated billings for FY 2021 decreased primarily due to the following: 1 A reduction in hours associated with the staffs review of renewals and amendments for independent spent fuel storage installation ISFSI licenses and dry cask storage certificates of compliance CoCs; 2 the near completion of the staffs review of the Interim Storage Partners consolidated interim storage facility application; 3 the completion
of certain follow-up inspections and other inspection activities for San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station; 4
the completion of licensing actions, partial site release requests, and a decrease in confirmatory survey work at multiple sites; 5 the near completion of the license termination for the La Crosse Boiling Water Reactor; 6 a reduction in contract support due to a decrease in confirmatory survey contractor work expected; and 7 a decrease in billable hours for the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station due to the site converting to decommissioning.
This decrease in the 10 CFR part 170
estimated billings is partially offset by increased work to support the following:
1 The review of renewals and amendments for dry cask storage certificates of compliance, and inspection activities for ISFSI licenses and dry cask storage CoCs; 2 the staffs safety and environmental review of the Holtec HISTORE consolidated interim storage facility application; 3 the staffs review of the Holtec Thermal Topical Report on the HISTORM 100 and HI
STORM FW Systems; 4 activities within the power reactor
decommissioning program associated with the plant closures of Duane Arnold, Indian Point Units 2 and 3, and Three Mile Island Nuclear Generating Station, Unit 1; and 5 the review of decommissioning license amendments, exemptions, and inspection activities at multiple sites.
The increase in the annual fee is partially offset by an approximate $0.6
million 10 CFR part 171 billing adjustment that was included in the spent fuel storage/reactor decommissioning calculation due to the deferral of annual fees and fees for services due to the COVID19 public health emergency.
The required annual fee recovery amount is divided equally among 122
licensees, resulting in a proposed FY
2021 annual fee of $246,000 per licensee.
c. Fuel Facilities The NRC proposes to collect $17.2
million in annual fees from the fuel facilities fee class in FY 2021, as shown in Table VIII. The FY 2020 fuel facilities fees are shown for comparison purposes.
