Benchmark: NRC Proposed Annual Fee Adjustments for FY2026

Take this benchmark to assess how much you would benefit from the course, “Understanding the Proposed NRC Annual Fee Rule.” It’s a quick, practical check of how well you grasp the rule’s intent, likely impacts, and where your organization may need to prepare or engage.

What you’ll get from taking this benchmark:

• Clarity on why the fee updates matter now and what value they aim to deliver.
• Insight into who could be most affected (e.g., power reactors, fuel cycle, materials) and why.
• Awareness of trade-offs (predictability vs responsiveness, consistency vs flexibility, cost recovery vs burden on small entities).
• Readiness cues: where your current processes, budgeting, or engagement plans may need adjustment.
• Direction on how effective public comments and participation can shape the final rule.

Note: This is not a scored exam. It’s a pre-course self-check to highlight knowledge gaps and help you focus your learning. After the benchmark, the course will guide you through the rule’s purpose, structure, analysis, and practical ways to participate effectively.
