Import/Export User Fees

AGENCY: Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, USDA.
ACTION: Proposed rule.
SUMMARY: We propose to change our user fees for import- and export- related services that we provide for animals, animal products, birds, germ plasm, organisms, and vectors. We propose increases for fiscal years 2000 through 2004 for standard annual increases in expenses. We have determined that the fees must be adjusted annually to reflect the anticipated cost of providing these services each year. By publishing the annual user fee changes in advance, users can incorporate the fees into their budget planning. The user fees pay for the actual cost of providing these services. We also propose to make some editorial changes to make the regulations easier to read and eliminate duplication.
