## Description

Effective March 27, 2026, USGBC consolidated supplemental review (appeal) fees into a single flat fee for all credits, eliminating the previous tiered structure that had separate fees for 'simple' versus 'complex' credits. This simplifies the fee structure for project teams seeking to appeal credit review decisions.
