Delay of Effective Date

ACTION: Interim rule; delay of effective
date.
mstockstill on PROD1PC61 with RULES
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: We recently published an
interim rule amending the foreign
quarantine and user fee regulations by
removing the exemptions from
inspection for imported fruits and
vegetables grown in Canada and the
exemptions from user fees for
commercial vessels, commercial trucks,
commercial railroad cars, commercial
aircraft, and international air passengers
entering the United States from Canada.
That interim rule had an effective date
of November 24, 2006. We are delaying
the effective date of the removal of the
user fee exemption for international air
passengers until January 1, 2007, and
the effective date for the remaining
provisions of the rule, including the
removal of the exemption from user fees
for commercial vessels, commercial
trucks, commercial railroad cars, and
commercial aircraft entering the United
States from Canada, until March 1,
2007. We are making these changes to
allow additional time for affected
entities to make necessary preparations
to comply with the inspection and
collection procedures that we will be
instituting as a result of the interim rule.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
DATES:
Background
The regulations in 7 CFR part 319
prohibit or restrict the importation of
certain plants and plant products into
the United States to prevent the
introduction of plant pests. Similarly,
the regulations in 9 CFR subchapter D
prohibit or restrict the importation of
certain animals and animal products
into the United States to prevent the
introduction of pests or diseases of
livestock. The regulations in 7 CFR part
354 provide rates and requirements for
overtime services relating to imports
and exports and for user fees.
On August 25, 2006, we published an
interim rule in the Federal Register (71
FR 50320–50328) amending the
regulations in 7 CFR parts 319 and 354
by removing the exemptions from
inspection for imported fruits and
vegetables grown in Canada and the
exemptions from user fees for
commercial vessels, commercial trucks,
commercial railroad cars, commercial
aircraft, and international air passengers
entering the United States from Canada.
As a result of this action, all agricultural
products imported from Canada were to
be subject to inspection, and
commercial conveyances, as well as
airline passengers arriving on flights
from Canada, were to be subject to
inspection and user fees. The interim
rule had an effective date of November
24, 2006.
Delay in Effective Date
We recently received comments from
industry representatives and the
Government of Canada expressing
concern about the possible impact of the
rule on affected entities and questioning
whether the November 2006 effective
date allowed adequate time for those
entities to prepare to comply with the
new inspection and collection
procedures that we would be instituting
in order to enforce the interim rule. A
delay of the effective date was
requested. After evaluating the
comments, we have elected to delay the
effective date of the interim rule. We are

from user fees for commercial vessels,
commercial trucks, commercial railroad
