| E9-23387 | User Fees for Agricultural Quarantine and Inspection Services | Rule | We are amending the user fee regulations by adjusting the fees charged for certain agricultural quarantine and inspection (AQI) services that are provided in connection with certain commercial vessels, commercial trucks, commercial railroad cars, commercial aircraft, and international airline passengers arriving at ports in the customs territory of the United States. The recent downturn in the U.S. economy has negatively impacted travel volumes, and, as a result, our user fee collections, which fund these services, have diminished. Although the volume of international travel and trade has decreased, inspection and related support services continue to be provided at their existing levels, so expenses have not decreased. As a result, our user fee collections have not been sufficient to enable us to provide those services and maintain a reasonable reserve balance. We are therefore increasing our AQI user fees in order to provide adequate funds for these purposes. | 2009-09-28 | 2009 | 9 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2009/09/28/E9-23387/user-fees-for-agricultural-quarantine-and-inspection-services | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2009-09-28/pdf/E9-23387.pdf | Agriculture Department; Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service | 12,22 | We are amending the user fee regulations by adjusting the fees charged for certain agricultural quarantine and inspection (AQI) services that are provided in connection with certain commercial vessels, commercial trucks, commercial railroad cars,... | 0579-AC99 |
