Update of Existing and Addition of

Federal Maritime Commission.
Final rule.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
SUMMARY: The Federal Maritime
Commission (‘‘Commission’’) revises its
existing fees for filing petitions and
complaints; various public information
services, such as record searches,
document copying, and admissions to
practice; filing ocean transportation
intermediary license applications;
applications for special permission;
service contracts; agreements; and
passenger vessel performance and
casualty certificate applications. These
revised fees reflect current costs to the
Commission. In addition, the
Commission is establishing a separate
fee for the filing of terminal exempt
agreements.
DATES: Effective on April 4, 2005.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Bryant L. VanBrakle, Secretary, Federal
Maritime Commission, 800 North
Capitol Street, NW., Washington, DC
20573–0001. E-mail: secretary@fmc.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
On August 31, 2004, the Commission
published in the Federal Register a
notice of proposed rulemaking (‘‘NPR’’),
69 FR 53027, in Docket No. 04–11,
Update of Existing and Addition of New
Filing Fees. This NPR proposed to
update the Commission’s current filing
and service fees which have been in
VerDate jul<14>2003
11:59 Mar 02, 2005
Jkt 205001
effect since July 15, 2002, and are no
longer representative of the
Commission’s actual costs for providing
such services. Fee increases primarily
reflected increases in salary and indirect
(overhead) costs. For some services, the
increase in processing or review time
accounted in part for the increase in the
level of fees. For other services, fees
were lower due to overall reduced costs
to provide those services.
The Commission also established a
separate fee for terminal exempt
agreements. Currently, the Commission
maintains the same filing fee for carrier
and terminal exempt agreements;
however, terminal exempt agreements
generally require less processing time
than carrier exempt agreements.
Consequently, the Commission
proposed to establish a separate filing
fee for terminal exempt agreements to
reflect better the difference in
processing times.
II. Comments
The Commission received one
comment, from B. Sachau, a private
citizen. The commenter suggested that
fees should be much higher because,
since 2002, everything has gone up by
a commenter-estimated one hundred
percent. The commenter also suggested
that fees should be updated annually,
and that all fees should be a minimum
of $550, except for document searches,
which should cost $8.00 per hour
maximum. Further, the commenter
suggested that it should not cost
anything to have one’s name on a
mailing list for specific dockets.
III. Discussion
The Commission followed established
OMB guidelines enumerated in OMB
Circular A–25 (‘‘Circular’’) when
developing its user fee schedule. The
Circular provides that costs be
determined from agency records, and
that costs cover the direct and indirect
costs to the Government of carrying out
an activity, including, but not limited
to, personnel costs, physical overhead,
management and supervisory costs, and
the costs of enforcement, collection,
PO 00000
Frm 00014
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
search, establishment of standards and
regulations, etc. This method of
determining fees addresses the concern
raised in the comment that fees pay for
the operation of the agency. With regard
to specific fee suggestions in the
comments, no documentary basis is
provided for setting fees at an arbitrary
minimum, for increasing fees beyond
those proposed in the NPR, for setting
document search costs at a certain
maximum amount, or for providing
mailing list services for no fee. As the
Commission followed standard
Government guidelines in developing
its fees and the comment provides no
basis for their modification, the fees set
out in the NPR will be made final.
This Final Rule reflects changes in
certain CFR section numbers and
Commission bureau names which were
put into effect in other Commission
rulemakings which became final after
the NPR was issued in this proceeding.
The Commission intends to update its
fees biennially in keeping with OMB
guidance. In updating its fees, the
Commission will incorporate changes in
employee salaries into direct labor costs
associated with its services, and
recalculate its indirect costs (overhead)
based on the current level of costs.
In accordance with the Regulatory
Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq., the
Chairman of the Federal Maritime
Commission has certified that the rule
will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small
entities. As stated in the NPR, while the
Commission recognized that the rule
may impact businesses that qualify as
small entities under Small Business
Administration guidelines, the
Commission is required to assess
recipients of specific governmental
services reasonable charges to recover
the costs of providing these services.
The charges in the rule reflect the costs
of specific Commission services
mandated by statute, and these services
benefit the shipping industry and the
foreign commerce of the United States.
The Commission believes that the
charges in the rule will not have a
harmful effect on entities within the
