The Nuclear Regulatory Commission's money — gross, fee-recovered, and net, kept apart.
Office of the Chief Financial Officer · U.S. NRC
The NRC is largely fee-funded. By law (NEIMA), it recovers roughly all of its appropriation from fees on its licensees, booked as offsetting collections. So the headline most readers see — about $0.9 billion — is gross budget authority; what general appropriations actually fund, after fee recovery, is the small net appropriation. This monitor surfaces all three — gross, fee recovery, net — and never shows net without the other two. Every business line, FY2025 enacted through the FY2027 request, recomputes against its source.
