RSICC does not charge for the packages that we deliver; however, we are required by the Federal government to recoup the cost associated with our operations. This fee is based on the cost for RSICC to maintain its archive, update its archive and support customer requests and registrations. This cost includes the effort required to perform the background and export control compliance checks that are mandated by the Federal government.

The cost recovery fee for those individuals that require more extensive export control and nonproliferation reviews will be $1056 while the cost recovery fee for those individuals that do not require the extensive reviews will be $840. For those individuals that are only approved for access to RSICC software on RSICC’s secure cloud server the fee will be $1576. These rates will be effective on November 1, 2024.

An invoice will be sent to you via email if you are required to pay the cost recovery fee. The invoice will contain instructions on how to pay the cost recovery fee depending on your affiliation.

• DOE customers (DOE Federal employees or employees of DOE national laboratories) will be required to utilize the DOE Payment and Collection (DOE-PAC) System for paying the cost recovery fee.
