On October 1, 2009, the veterinary import/export user fees for fiscal year 2010 will take effect. You may view the regulations in 9 CFR part 130, which includes charts showing all the fiscal year 2010 veterinary import/export user fees, on the Internet at Regulation.gov, at https://www.regulations.gov/ fdmspublic/component/ main?main=DocketDetail&d=APHIS2009-0054. Veterinary Diagnostic Services User Fees User fees to reimburse APHIS for the costs of providing veterinary diagnostic services are also contained in 9 CFR part 130. These user fees are authorized by section 2509(c) of the Food, Agriculture, Conservation, and Trade Act of 1990, as amended (21 U.S.C. 136a), which provides that the Secretary of Agriculture may, among other things, prescribe regulations and collect fees to recover the costs of veterinary diagnostics relating to the control and eradication of communicable diseases of livestock and poultry within the United States. In a final rule published in the Federal Register on December 19, 2007 (72 FR 71744–71750, Docket No. APHIS–2006–0161), and effective January 18, 2008, we established, for fiscal years 2008 through 2012 and beyond, user fees for certain veterinary diagnostic services, including certain diagnostic tests, reagents, and other veterinary diagnostic materials and services. Veterinary diagnostics is the work performed in a laboratory to determine whether a disease-causing organism or chemical agent is present in body tissues or cells and, if so, to identify those organisms or agents. Services in this category include: (1) Performing identification, serology, and pathobiology tests and providing diagnostic reagents and other veterinary diagnostic materials and services for the National Veterinary Services Laboratories (NVSL) in Ames, IA; and (2) performing laboratory tests and providing reagents and other veterinary diagnostic materials and services at the VerDate Nov<24>2008 16:33 Sep 25, 2009 Jkt 217001 NVSL Foreign Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory (NVSL FADDL) in Greenport, NY. The veterinary diagnostic services user fees are found in §§ 130.12 through 130.19 and cover the following: • Virology identification tests performed at NVSL (excluding FADDL) or other authorized sites; • Bacteriology serology tests performed at NVSL (excluding FADDL) or other authorized sites; • Virology serology tests performed at NVSL (excluding FADDL) or other authorized sites; • Veterinary diagnostic tests performed at the Pathobiology Laboratory at NVSL (excluding FADDL) or other authorized sites; • Bacteriology reagents produced by the Diagnostic Bacteriology Laboratory at NVSL (excluding FADDL) or other authorized sites; • Virology reagents produced by the Diagnostic Virology Laboratory at NVSL (excluding FADDL) or other authorized sites; and, • Other veterinary diagnostic services or materials available from NVSL (excluding FADDL). On October 1, 2009, the veterinary diagnostic services user fees for fiscal year 2010 will take effect.
