        <RULE_TITLE>Electronic Payment and Refund of Quarterly Harbor Maintenance Fees  </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Amendment to part 24 of title 19 of the Code of Federal Regulations prescribing an alternative procedure by which payers of the quarterly harbor maintenance fee (HMF) may submit payments or refund requests to Customs and Border Protection (CBP) electronically via an Internet account established by the payer and located at www.pay.gov.  CBP will continue to accept quarterly HMF payments or refund requests via mail. This document also clarifies the regulations to state that each HMF quarterly payment, whether paper or electronic, must be accompanied by a CBP Form 349 (HMF Quarterly Summary Report) and that supplemental HMF payments must be accompanied by both a CBP Form 350 (HMF Amended Quarterly Summary Report) and a CBP Form 349.  The changes set forth in this document are intended to provide the trade with an expanded electronic payment/refund option for quarterly HMF payments and to modernize and enhance CBPs port use fee collection efforts.]]></ABSTRACT>
