DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

Office of the Secretary

7 CFR Part 1

RIN 0560-AF55


Fee Schedule; Aerial Photographic Reproductions

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, USDA.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Agriculture issued a proposed rule and is 
now issuing a final rule regarding the revision of fees charged for 
some aerial photographic reproductions in order to reflect changes in 
the costs for some reproductions and to discontinue some reproductions 
due to low demand. However, these revisions do not affect accessibility 
under the Freedom of Information Act.

EFFECTIVE DATE: February 1, 1999.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Linda McDonald, United States 
Department of Agriculture, Farm Service Agency, Aerial Photography 
Field Office, 2222 West 2300 South, Salt Lake City, Utah 84119-2020; 
telephone (801) 975-3500, Ext. 235.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Executive Order 12866

    This rule is an administrative action not subject to Executive 
Order 12866 and, therefore, has not been reviewed by the Office of 
Management and Budget.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

    USDA certifies that this rule would not have a significant economic 
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory 
Flexibility Act of 1980 (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.).

Executive Order 12988

    The rule has been reviewed in accordance with Executive order 
12988, Civil Justice Reform.
    The provisions of this rule are not retroactive and preempt State 
laws to the extent such laws are inconsistent with the provisions of 
this rule and does not require administrative proceedings before 
parties may file in court challenging this rule.

Paperwork Reduction Act

    The authority of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) 
FSA Aerial Photography Field Office to coordinate aerial photography 
and remote sensing programs and for aerial photography is Section 387 
of the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938 (7 U.S.C. 1387).
    Reproductions of photographs are available at cost to any customer. 
All receipts from the sale of aerial photography reproductions and 
services are deposited and sent to the U.S. Treasury.

Background

    A pricing study of all products and services provided by the Aerial 
Photography Field Office was conducted. The study determined that due 
to increased costs of photographic reproduction, it would be necessary 
to increase fees charged for some reproductions. Fees would be reduced 
or left unchanged for some reproductions. Some reproductions would be 
discontinued, due to the small number of reproductions ordered. 
Accordingly, USDA will revise the fees charged for some reproductions, 
discontinue others and make minor administrative changes regarding 
Agency names and other clarifications to amend the appendix to 7 CFR 
part 1, subpart A. While issued as a proposed rule, the USDA Aerial 
Photography Field Office received one comment regarding this rule. The 
comment was to add the cost of Black and White 38x38 Film Positive 
Reproductions to the fee schedule. This item has been added to the fee 
schedule in this final rule.
