Lets Nuclear Agency leaders offer higher pay to certain career staff.
This bill would let the head of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) offer higher pay to certain career employees. It would allow the NRC Chairman to set their annual pay up to 110 percent of the maximum for top executive positions. This new authority would apply to all eligible career appointees, no matter when they were hired.
Currently, the NRC Chairman cannot set annual basic pay for career appointees above a certain limit. Specifically, they cannot be paid up to 110 percent of the maximum for top executive positions. If this bill becomes law, the NRC Chairman would gain authority to set annual basic pay for these career employees. This pay could be up to 110 percent of that maximum, no matter when they were appointed.
