Title: ●User Fees; Export Certification for Plants and Plant Products 
Abstract: This rulemaking would amend the user fee regulations by adjusting the fees charged for export certification of plants and plant products. We are proposing to increase these user fees to reflect the anticipated costs associated with providing these services. We are also proposing to add a new user fee for Federal export certificates for plants and plant products that an exporter obtains from a State or county cooperator in order to recover our administrative costs associated with that service. Finally, we are proposing to make several nonsubstantive changes to the regulations for clarity. These proposed changes would enable us to properly recover the costs of providing export certification services for plants and plant products.
