allocates the budgeted resources for each class of licensees and calculates the fees.
Paragraphs a. through h. of this section describe the budgeted resources
allocated to each class of licensees and the calculations of the rebaselined fees.

In comparison to FY 2020, the FY
2021 annual fee for the operating power reactors fee class is increasing primarily due to the following: 1 The decline in 10 CFR part 170 estimated billings; 2
the reduction in the total number of operating power reactors due to the closure of Duane Arnold and Indian Point Energy Center Indian Point Unit 3; and 3 the absence of the fee-relief credit that was provided in FY 2020 as part of the fee-relief adjustment. The increase in the annual fee for the operating power reactors fee class is partially offset due to the following: 1
The decrease in budgeted resources; 2
the 10 CFR part 171 billing adjustment that was included in the operating power reactors fee class calculation due to the deferral of annual fees and fees for services due to the coronavirus disease COVID19 pandemic; and 3
the current year collection adjustment

due to the shutdown of Indian Point Unit 3. These components are discussed in the following paragraphs.
The 10 CFR part 170 estimated billings declined primarily due to the following: 1 The decrease due to the plant closures; 2 the completion of construction activities at Vogtle Electric Generating Plant, Unit 3 Vogtle Unit 3;
3 the completion of the NuScale small modular reactor SMR design certification review; and 4 the impact of continued travel restrictions and limited on-site presence on inspection activities due to the COVID19
pandemic. This decrease in the 10 CFR
part 170 estimated billings is partially offset by increased work to support the following: 1 The review of the Oklo Power LLC combined license COL
application for the Aurora micro reactor, which was docketed in June 2020; and 2 rescheduled inspection activities

that were deferred due to the COVID19
pandemic.
In addition, as a result of the revised fee-recovery framework under NEIMA, the FY 2021 annual fee increased due to the absence of the fee-relief credit that was provided in FY 2020 as part of the fee-relief adjustment. Because NEIMA
eliminated the approximately 90
percent requirement for fee recovery and, in turn, the 10 percent limit on feerelief activities, the NRC will no longer provide a fee-relief credit or assess a feerelief surcharge as part of the calculation of annual fees for each licensee fee class.
The increase in the annual fee is partially offset by a decline in FTEs associated with changes in workload, including, but not limited to, the following: 1 The completion of probabilistic risk assessment reviews related to lessons learned from the
