USDA/APHIS RIN: 0579-AC59 Publication ID: Fall 2008 
Title: Import/Export User Fees 
Abstract: This rulemaking would amend the regulations concerning user fees for import- and export-related services that we provide for animals, animal products, birds, germplasm, organisms, and vectors. We are proposing increases in those fees for fiscal years 2009 through 2013 in order to ensure that the fees accurately reflect the anticipated costs 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.
