What is a significant rule?

Significant regulatory action is a term used to describe an agency rule that has had or might have a large impact on the economy, environment, public health, or state or local governments. These actions may also conflict with other rules or presidential priorities. As part of its role in the regulatory review process, the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) determines which rules meet this definition.

Under the Nuclear Energy Innovation and Modernization Act, the NRC is required to recover, to the maximum extent practicable, approximately 100 percent of its annual budget in fees charged licensees. This rule would amend the NRC fee schedule for 2025 to reflect budgetary changes.

Summary of the rule

The following is a summary of the rule from the rule's entry in the Federal Register:[2]

“ The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is amending the licensing, inspection, special project, and annual fees charged to its applicants and licensees. These amendments are necessary to comply with the Nuclear Energy Innovation and Modernization Act[4] ”

Summary of provisions

The following is a summary of the provisions from the rule's entry in the Federal Register:[2]

“ The NRC is issuing this FY 2025 final fee rule based on its enacted budget in Public Law 119-4, Full-Year Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2025 (the Full-Year Continuing Resolution). The final fee rule reflects a total budget authority in the amount of $944.1 million, which did not change from FY 2024.[4] ”

Significant impact

See also: Significant regulatory action

Executive Order 12866, issued by President Bill Clinton (D) in 1993, directed the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to determine which agency rules qualify as significant rules and thus are subject to OMB review.

Significant rules have had or might have a large impact on the economy, environment, public health, or state or local governments. These actions may also conflict with other rules or presidential priorities. Executive Order 12866 further defined an economically significant rule as a significant rule with an associated economic impact of $100 million or more. E.O. 14215, issued on February 18, 2025, by President Donald Trump (R), required independent agencies to comply with all aspects of OMB review, including review by the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA).[2]

The text of the rule states that OMB deemed this rule economically significant under E.O. 12866:

“ The Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) has determined that this final rule is a significant regulatory action under E.O. 12866.[4] ”
