User Fees--Commercial Aircraft and Vessels; Phytosanitary
Certificates
AGENCY: Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, USDA.
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: We are proposing to amend the user fee regulations by lowering
the fees charged for certain agricultural quarantine and inspection
services we provide in connection with the arrival of an international
commercial aircraft at a port in the customs territory of the United
States. We are also proposing to amend the user fee regulations by
raising the fees charged for export certification of plants and plant
products. We have determined, based on a review of our user fees, that
the fees must be adjusted to reflect the actual cost of providing these
services. In addition, we are proposing to amend the user fee
regulations to clarify the exemption for certain vessels which sail
only between the United States and Canada.
DATES: Consideration will be given only to comments received on or
before June 23, 1995.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The regulations in 7 CFR 354.3 (referred to below as the
``regulations'') contain provisions for the collection of user fees for
certain international services provided by the Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service (APHIS). In this docket we are proposing to amend 2
user fees: (1) The user fee for servicing international commercial
aircraft arriving at ports in the customs territory of the United
States; and (2) the user fee for certifying plants and plant products
for export. We are also proposing to clarify the exemption from user
fees which applies to certain vessels which sail only between the
United States and Canada. Each amendment is discussed separately below.
International Commercial Aircraft
One service our user fees cover is the cost of agricultural
quarantine and inspection (AQI) services provided by APHIS in
connection with the arrival of an international commercial aircraft at
a port in the customs territory of the United States. (The customs
territory of the United States is defined in the regulations as the 50
States, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico.)
The current user fee for international commercial aircraft became
effective on January 1, 1993, following the publication of an interim
rule in the Federal Register on December 31, 1992 (Docket No. 92-148-1,
57 FR 62468-62473). At that time the fee was set at $61.00. This fee
was later affirmed in a document published in the Federal Register on
November 9, 1993 (Docket No. 92-148-2, 58 FR 59354-59356).
As we have stated in previous proposed and final regulations, we
intend to monitor our user fees and review them at least annually to
determine whether the fees should be adjusted. After reviewing the fees
that were collected in FY 1993 and FY 1994 and calculating our cost and
revenue projections for FY 1995, we have determined that the fee for
international commercial aircraft needs to be lowered from $61.00 to
$53.00 for each arrival. This is necessary to avoid collecting more
revenue than needed to cover the costs of the services we provide.
Calculation of User Fees for Commercial Aircraft
To calculate the adjusted user fees for commercial aircraft, we
determined the total projected cost of providing AQI services in FY
1995 for international commercial aircraft. The cost of providing these
services in FY 1993 and FY 1994 served as a basis for calculating our
projected FY 1995 costs. It is important to note that each year in the
budget process, Congress limits or specifies how much APHIS can
withdraw from the AQI User Fee Account. For FY 1993, APHIS was
authorized to spend $83.3 million. For FY 1994 we were authorized to
spend $91.6 million, plus $6.9 million to cover additional AQI program
needs.
In FY 1992, APHIS established accounting procedures to segregate
AQI user fee program costs. We published a detailed description of
these procedures in the Federal Register on December 31, 1992 (57 FR
62469-62471), as part of a document (Docket No. 92-148-1) amending some
of our user fees.
As part of our accounting procedures, we established distinct
accounting codes to record costs that can be directly related to each
inspection activity. At the State level and below, the following costs
are direct-charged to the AQI User Fee Account: Salaries and benefits
for inspectors and canine officers, supervisors (such as officers-in-
charge) and clerical staff, user-fee-specific equipment, contracts, and
large supply items such as x-ray equipment or uniforms.
Other costs that cannot be directly charged to individual accounts
are charged to ``distributable'' accounts established at the State
level. The following types of costs are charged to distributable
accounts: utilities, rent, telephone, vehicles, office supplies, etc.
The costs in these distributable accounts are prorated (or distributed)
among all the activities that benefit from the expense, based on the
ratio of the costs that are directly charged to each activity divided
by the total costs directly charged to each account at the field level.
For example, if a State office performs work on domestic programs, AQI
user fee programs, and AQI appropriated programs, the costs are
distributed among each program, based on the percentage of the direct
costs for that activity at the field level that is charged to that
activity. Costs incurred at the regional, headquarters program staff,
and agency-level support offices are also prorated to the separate AQI
[[Page 27438]] activities based on the percentage of the costs that
were directly charged to each activity at the field level, as discussed
above.
Under these accounting procedures, we calculated the total cost of
providing AQI services in FY 1993 and FY 1994 by determining the
amounts in each direct-charge account, then adding the pro rata share
of the distributable accounts maintained at the State, regional,
headquarters, and agency levels. In FY 1993, it cost APHIS
approximately $13.9 million to provide services to commercial aircraft;
in FY 1994 the cost was approximately $17.5 million.
We projected that in FY 1995, it will cost APHIS a total of $18.9
million to provide inspection services for international commercial
aircraft. Of this total, $15.7 million is for program delivery costs,
which are costs incurred at the State level and below. The total also
includes $1.7 million for a pro rata share of the program direction and
support costs, as explained above, which include items at the regional
and headquarters program staff levels. Finally, the total includes $1.5
million for a pro rata share of agency-level support costs, as
discussed above, which include activities that support the entire
agency, such as recruitment and development, legislative and public
affairs, regulations development, regulatory enforcement, budget and
accounting services, and payroll and purchasing services. The
exceptions are costs for billing and collection services, legal
counsel, and rate development services. These costs are directly
related to user fee activities, so these costs are directly added to
the user fee activities they support and are not included in the
proration of agency-level costs.
For the commercial aircraft user fee, we also have the authority to
include an amount that would provide for a reasonable reserve balance
in the AQI User Fee Account (referred to below as ``the Account''). We
defined a ``reasonable reserve balance'' as equal to 3 months' normal
operating expenses. We have now accumulated a reserve balance equal to
this amount in the Account for international aircraft. Therefore, the
reserve component of this user fee would be eliminated in our proposed
fee adjustments.
Volumes
We estimated the annual number of international commercial aircraft
that would be subject to inspection. The estimates, which were based on
our FY 1993 and FY 1994 collection history, were then used as a basis
for projecting activity volumes for FY 1995.
A total of 357,442 commercial aircraft were subject to inspection
during FY 1993. During FY 1993, we revised the aircraft clearance fee
from $76.75 per arrival to $61.00 per arrival. The decrease became
effective for all aircraft arriving in the United States on or after
January 1, 1993. To arrive at the FY 1993 volume for aircraft, we
divided the first quarter collections (October 1 through December 31,
1992) of $6,187,047.75 by $76.75, the per arrival fee, for a total
first quarter volume of 80,613. We divided the 3 remaining quarter
collections of $16,886,569.00 by $61.00, the revised per arrival fee,
for a volume total of 276,829 for the remainder of the fiscal year.
This produced a total FY 1993 volume of 357,442. Our FY 1994, volume
projection is 350,293. To arrive at the FY 1994 volume for aircraft, we
divided our projected FY 1994 collections of $21,367,873.00 by $61.00,
the per arrival fee, for a volume total of 350,293. While the actual
volume went down in FY 1994, we do not expect that to happen again in
FY 1995. In fact, in FY 1995 we are projecting a modest volume increase
of 2 percent. Therefore, we applied a 2 percent increase to the FY 1994
volume of 350,293 to arrive at a projected FY 1995 commercial aircraft
volume of 357,299.
Fee Adjustments and Rounding of Fees
In calculating the adjusted user fees, our final step was to divide
the sum of the cost of providing service by the projected number of
international commercial aircraft subject to inspection, thereby
arriving at a ``raw'' fee.
For the commercial aircraft user fee, the raw fee was $52.99;
rounding this fee up to the nearest quarter yields a fee of $53.00.
Rounding up ensures that the fee would be easy to calculate and
collect. The lower fee of $53.00 would be sufficient to recover the
full cost of providing aircraft inspection services, without collecting
more revenue than needed to cover the costs of the services provided.
Commercial Vessels
Another AQI service we offer is inspection of commercial vessels of
100 net tons or more. Certain categories of commercial vessels are
exempt from paying APHIS user fees under the current regulations. Among
those is ``any vessel which sails only between United States and
Canadian ports'' (see current Sec. 354.3(b)(2)(vi)).
The United States Customs Service (Customs), U.S. Department of the
Treasury, collects APHIS user fees and remits them to us. Customs has
requested that we amend our regulations to make it easier for them to
determine which vessels are exempt from our fees.
Under our regulations, certain vessels are exempt from paying APHIS
user fees. Customs must determine, when reviewing the paperwork
presented for each arriving vessels, which vessels are exempt. In order
to ensure that they have the necessary information to make this
determination, Customs has requested that we amend Sec. 354.3(b)(2)(vi)
of our regulations to require Masters of vessels in the United States-
Canada trade arriving from Canada to certify, in the ``Remarks'' block
of the General Declaration, Customs Form 1301, that the vessel has
sailed solely between the United States and Canada for the previous 2
years.
The proposed certification would be placed in a document which
vessels arriving in the United States are required, under Customs
regulations in 19 CFR 4.7, to present to the Customs official on duty
at the port of arrival. In addition to helping Customs to more
accurately and efficiently collect APHIS user fees, the proposed
requirement would also clarify that vessels which ``sail only between
United States and Canada ports'' are vessels which have done so for at
least the previous 2 years. The 2-year restriction is necessary to
ensure that pests and regulated articles brought on board the vessel at
ports outside Canada or the United States no longer pose a pest or
disease risk. This requirement is identical to requirements in our
regulations concerning the handling and disposal of garbage from places
outside the United States (see 7 CFR 330.400 and 9 CFR 95.4).
Phytosanitary Certificates
In addition to AQI services, our user fees also cover the issuance
of phytosanitary certificates for the export of plants and plant
products. Phytosanitary certificates are issued in accordance with 7
U.S.C. 147a and regulations in 7 CFR part 353. These documents certify
agricultural products as being free from plant pests, according to the
phytosanitary requirements of the foreign countries to which the plants
or plant products may be exported, or to the freedom from exposure to
plant pests while in transit through the United States. These
certificates must be issued in accordance with 7 CFR part 353 to be
accepted in international commerce.
The user fees for some phytosanitary certificates issued by APHIS
became effective on March 17, 1993, upon publication of a final rule in
the Federal Register on March 17, 1993 (Docket 92- [[Page 27439]] 088-
2, 58 FR 14305-14307). The user fees for other phytosanitary
certificates issued by APHIS became effective on February 9, 1992,
following the publication of a final rule in the Federal Register on
January 9, 1992 (Docket No. 91-135, 57 FR 755-773). The fees were set
at: (1) $30.00 for a certificate for a commercial shipment; (2) $19.00
for a certificate for certain low-value commercial shipments; (3)
$19.00 for a certificate for a non-commercial shipment; (4) $30.00 for
a certificate for reexport of a commercial shipment; (5) $19.00 for a
certificate for reexport of certain low value commercial shipments; (6)
$30.00 for a processed product certificate for a commercial shipment;
(7) $6.00 for reissuing any certificate or certificate for reexport
(see current 7 CFR 354.3(g)(5)). In addition, there is a $6.00 user fee
for processing unissued phytosanitary certificates of all types (see 7
CFR 354.3(h)).
After reviewing the fees for phytosanitary certificates that were
collected in FY 1993 and FY 1994 and calculating our cost and revenue
projections for FY 1995, we have determined that, for the reasons
discussed below, the fees need to be adjusted in order to recover the
full cost of providing services. Therefore, we are proposing to raise
our user fees for phytosanitary certificates as follows: (1) to $50.00
for a certificate for a commercial shipment; (2) to $23.00 for a
certificate for certain low-value commercial shipments; (3) to $23.00
for a certificate for a non-commercial shipment; (4) to $50.00 for a
certificate for reexport of a commercial shipment; (5) to $23.00 for a
certificate for reexport of certain low value commercial shipments; (6)
to $50.00 for a processed product certificate for a commercial
shipment; (7) to $7.00 for reissuing any certificate or certificate for
reexport. In addition, we are proposing to raise the user fee for
processing unissued phytosanitary certificates of all types to $7.00.
Calculation of User Fees for Phytosanitary Certificates
To calculate the adjusted user fees for phytosanitary certificates,
we determined the total projected cost of providing phytosanitary
certificate services in FY 1995. The cost of providing these services
in FY 1993 and FY 1994 served as a basis for calculating our projected
FY 1995 costs.
In FY 1992, APHIS established accounting procedures to segregate
phytosanitary certificate-related costs. We established distinct
accounting codes to record costs that can be directly related to this
activity. At the State level and below, the following costs are charged
directly to the phytosanitary certificate user fee account: salaries
and benefits for inspectors, supervisors (such as officers-in-charge)
and clerical staff, user-fee-specific equipment, contracts, and large
supply items such as uniforms.
Other costs that cannot be directly charged to individual accounts
are charged to ``distributable'' accounts established at the State
level. The following types of costs are charged to distributable
accounts: utilities, rent, telephone, vehicles, office supplies, etc.
The costs in these distributable accounts are prorated (or distributed)
among all the activities that benefit from the expense, based on the
ratio of the costs that are directly charged to each activity divided
by the total costs directly charged to each account at the field level.
For example, if a State office performs work on domestic programs and
phytosanitary certificate programs, the costs are distributed among
each program, based on the percentage of the direct costs for that
activity at the field level that is charged to that activity. Costs
incurred at the regional, headquarters program staff, and agency-level
support offices are also prorated to the separate phytosanitary
certificate-related activities, based on the percentage of the costs
that were directly charged to each activity at the field level, as
discussed above.
Under these accounting procedures, we calculated the total cost of
providing phytosanitary certificate services in FY 1993 and FY 1994 by
determining the amounts in each direct-charge account, then adding the
pro rata share of the distributable accounts maintained at the State,
regional, headquarters, and agency levels. In FY 1993, it cost APHIS
approximately $3.5 million to issue phytosanitary certificates, and it
cost APHIS approximately $4.1 million in FY 1994. We project our FY
1995 costs to be $4.6 million. Of this total, $3.83 million is for
program delivery costs, which are costs incurred at the State level and
below. The total also includes $389,000 for a pro rata share of the
program direction and support costs, as explained above, which include
items at the regional and headquarters program staff levels. Finally,
the total includes $384,000 for a pro rata share of agency-level
support costs, as discussed above, which include activities that
support the entire agency, such as recruitment and development,
legislative and public affairs, regulations development, regulatory
enforcement, budget and accounting services, and payroll and purchasing
services. The exceptions are costs for billing and collection services,
legal counsel, and rate development services. These costs are directly
related to user fee activities, so these costs are directly added to
the user fee activities they support and are not included in the
proration of agency-level costs.
To calculate the adjusted user fees for phytosanitary certificates,
we determined the total projected cost of issuing phytosanitary
certificates in FY 1995, based on our costs to provide these services
in FY 1993 and FY 1994.
Under our accounting procedures, we calculated the total cost of
issuing phytosanitary certificates in FY 1993 by determining the amount
in each direct-charge account, then adding the prorata share of the
distributable accounts maintained at the State, regional, headquarters,
and agency levels.
We then used a weighted average method to develop the rate for each
type of phytosanitary certificate. The average time to complete each
type of certificate was calculated. Each type of phytosanitary
certificate fee was assigned a weighted value. This was done by
comparing the time value for each certificate type relative to the time
value for commercial certificates. The time value of commercial
certificates was 2.45. This was weighted 1.00 (2.45/2.45). Non-
commercial certificates were given a value of 0.46 (1.13/2.45), and
reissued certificates were given a value of 0.14 (0.35/2.45).
We then applied the weighted values to our volume estimates for FY
1995 to determine the weighted transaction amounts. The total number of
transactions for each category was then added and divided into the
total program cost. In this way we arrived at an average per inspection
cost of $49.84. We multiplied the average per inspection cost by the
activity weight. This produced the weighted average cost for each type
of certificate. The raw fees calculated using this method were: $49.84
for commercial phytosanitary certificates; $22.76 for non-commercial
phytosanitary certificates; and $7.05 for reissued and returned
phytosanitary certificates. We then rounded the raw fees for commercial
and non-commercial certificates up to the nearest quarter, for final
fees of $50.00 and $23.00. Due to the small number of reissued and
returned certificates which we process, and in order to make collecting
fees easier, we rounded the raw fee for these certificates down for a
final fee of $7.00.
Executive Order 12866 and Regulatory Flexibility Act
This rule has been reviewed under Executive Order 12866. The rule
has been determined to be significant for the [[Page 27440]] purposes
of Executive Order 12866 and, therefore, has been reviewed by the
Office of Management and Budget.
This proposed rule, if adopted, would increase the user fees for
phytosanitary certificates to recover the cost to APHIS of providing
export certification services for plants and plant products. This
proposed rule, if adopted, would also reduce the user fee for
international commercial aircraft to correspond with the cost to APHIS
of providing services. Amendments to user fees are necessary to adjust
for changes in service volume and in costs.
Federal phytosanitary certificates are issued in accordance with
the International Plant Protection Convention. They certify that
agricultural products moving between countries are free from injurious
insects and diseases. These certificates must be issued by APHIS to be
accepted in international commerce, and must accompany the majority of
agricultural commodities (except livestock products) traded. Traded
commodities generally include cereals and grains (such as soybeans,
wheat, and corn), fruit and vegetables, and other horticultural
products. In 1993, the value of exported agricultural products
requiring phytosanitary certificates was estimated at $3 billion.
Current user fees for phytosanitary certificates do not fully
recover APHIS's costs for services performed. In the past fiscal year,
the total cost of providing phytosanitary certificate services was
$3,487,347, while total fee collections amounted only to $2,875,716.
The reason for the discrepancy is that we overestimated the number of
certificates that would be issued, thereby underestimating the cost of
issuing each certificate. The total program cost for the 1994-1995
fiscal year, which we must recover through user fees, is estimated at
$4,643,385. This amount includes costs associated with program
delivery, program direction and support, agency support, departmental
charges, and Office of the General Counsel services. If the proposed
fee increases are adopted, estimated collections would rise to
$4,717,947.
Exporters of agricultural commodities would be affected by this
rule. The Regulatory Flexibility Act requires APHIS to address the
economic impact of imposing user fees on ``small'' entities. The Small
Business Administration (SBA) criteria for a small wholesale business
engaged in the trading of fresh fruits and vegetables is that the
business have 100 or fewer employees. SBA criteria for a small crop
production business is that it have annual revenues up to $500,000.
Approximately 90,000 phytosanitary certificates were issued in
1993. Certificates for commercial shipments are issued to wholesale
businesses engaged in the trading of fresh fruits and vegetables, and
to crop production businesses. Certificates are also issued to export
brokers who handle shipments of produce from various sources. The
proportion of exporters in this group which may qualify as small is
unknown. It is likely that a large number of these brokers employ fewer
than 100 workers.
In general, the value of an average commercial shipment is likely
to be well over the proposed $50 user fee. Given that the total value
of agricultural products requiring phytosanitary certificates exported
in 1993, estimated at $3 billion, is much larger in magnitude than the
$4.7 million in total user fee collection, any impact on U.S.
producers/exporters is expected to be small.
Phytosanitary certificates for noncommercial exporters are
generally issued to individuals and to exporters of low value
commodities. The user fee for this category of phytosanitary
certificate is proposed to increase from $19 to $23, an increase of 21
percent. Although user fees represent a proportionately larger share of
the total value of noncommercial and low-value exports, these small
exports may possess a much higher value in the foreign country than in
the United States. Moveover, exports by individuals may be gift items
with nonmonetary values offsetting some of the impact of the fee
increase.
SBA criteria for a small airline is that it have 1,500 or fewer
employees. Data from the 1988 Census indicates that there were 67
domestic and international airline operators employing a total of
481,000 employees. Although the size distribution of air carriers that
enter the customs territory of the United States is unknown, the impact
of the proposed user fee change, regardless of carrier size, is
positive--we are proposing a 13 percent user fee reduction, from $61 to
$53 per aircraft. The lower fee is sufficient to recover the full cost
of providing aircraft inspection services, without collecting more
revenue than needed to recover costs. The estimated cost to provide
inspection services for international commercial aircraft in FY 1995 is
$18.9 million. At the proposed user fee of $53 per aircraft and a
projected FY 1995 commercial aircraft volume of 357,299, total
collections would amount to $18.9 million.
Under these circumstances, the Administrator of the Animal and
Plant Health Inspection Service has determined that this action would
not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities.
