• General submissions – Used for transmitting reports or other electronic filings to the NRC



• Criminal History – Used by licensees to transmit background check information to the NRC, the fee for processing Criminal History checks is $36.00



• Fitness for Duty - Used by licensees to meet 10 CFR Part 26 reporting requirements
