Where a fee-funded regulator's money actually goes.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (USAspending toptier agency 031) as recorded in the public spending feed: agency obligations by fiscal year and the largest contract awards. The NRC is a small agency — total obligations sit near $1 billion a year and barely move. This executed money is gross — recovered from licensee fees under NEIMA — not the far smaller net appropriation; the arc runs consistent with the fee-funded model.
Data currency
The NRC has no Department of War's 90-day OPSEC withholding. Normal USAspending reporting lag still applies, so the contracts table is shown for the latest fully-loaded fiscal year; the in-progress fiscal year is partial and would understate.
USAspending's total_budgetary_resources for the NRC is corrupted by Nuclear Waste Fund / financing-account balances (reported in the trillions) and is not a usable spending figure — it is omitted and flagged. Only agency obligations drive this view.

Obligations over time
Total agency obligations by fiscal year — gross execution, nominal dollars. The current fiscal year is partial.
Largest contract awards
Ranked by total obligated amount on the award. For multiyear and IDIQ vehicles this accumulates across option years — a measure of award size, not single-year spend. For a small regulator the top awards are concentrated: IT, technical support, and infrastructure services.
