We qualify as a small business as well and are against paying more with the Commonwealth as a small business than we have with the NRC in past years. As a small business, these sorts of fees impact our cash flow more severely than larger firms and our budgets have been developed using the former NRC rate. Please reconsider the rates for small businesses, a rate at or near that of the NRC’s would be a great relief, especially in today’s economic climate where small businesses do not have the extra money for these sorts of inflations. Thank you for your reconsideration.
