Abstract: The NRC bills licensees, applicants, and individuals for the payment of civil penalties, full cost licensing fees, inspection fees, and other fees. The five methods used to pay bills owed to the NRC are: (1) Payment by Automated Clearinghouse Network (ACH); (2) Payment by Credit Card; (3) Payment by Electronic Funds Transfer/ FedWire; (4) Payment by Check, and (5) Payment by Digital Wallet. NUREG/BR– 0254, ‘‘Payment Methods’’ provides instructions on how to transfer monies owed to the NRC; no information is collected by the NRC in using this brochure. The NRC is discontinuing use of the pdf NRC Form 629, “Authorization for Payment by Credit Card” and will be exclusively collecting the same information using Pay.gov for future transactions.
