What this bill would do
This bill is known as the NRC Staff Pay Alignment Act. It amends the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 to give the Chairman compensation authority for certain career appointees. Under this authority, the Chairman can set the annual basic pay for a career appointee up to 110 percent of the maximum rate for Senior Executive Service positions within the Commission. This pay authority applies regardless of when the career appointee was appointed. The bill also requires reporting on the total number of career appointees who have their compensation fixed under this new subsection. Finally, it includes conforming amendments relating to Government Accountability Office reports.
