Dear Mr. President: 

I enclose the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s (NRC’s) Fiscal Year 2016

Reports Consolidation Act of 2000 and the Government Performance and Results Act 

Modernization Act of 2010. 

I have assessed the completeness and reliability of the program and financial data 

contained in the NRC’s Fiscal Year 2016 Performance and Accountability Report. Based on 

evaluation criteria issued by the Office of Management and Budget, I conclude that the data is 

complete and reliable. 

The NRC places a high priority on sound management and public accountability. The

the Government and the American people. 

Respectfully, 

 /RA/
