contains notices to the public of the proposed
issuance of rules and regulations. The
purpose of these notices is to give interested
persons an opportunity to participate in the

7 CFR Part 505
RIN 0518–8AA04
Modification of Interlibrary Loan Fee
Schedule
AGENCY:
Agricultural Research Service,
USDA.
ACTION:
Proposed rule.
The Agricultural Research
Service proposes to amend its
regulations on the fee schedule for
interlibrary loan from the collections of
the National Agricultural Library.
The revised fee schedule is based on
the method of payment used (traditional
invoicing through the National
Technical Information Service (NTIS) or
payment through the Online Computer
Library Center (OCLC) network’s
Interlibrary Fee Management program, a
debit/credit program for interlibrary
loan) rather than type of material
requested (loan, photocopy, microform)
and eliminates the current billing
surcharge which is instead incorporated
into the revised flat fee. The revision
brings these fees up to date in order to
SUMMARY:
support the current cost of providing the
service and will enable customers to
estimate charges more easily and
distribute them more effectively within
their own institutions.
DATES: Submit comments on or before
November 15, 2011.
ADDRESSES: Send comments to Kay
Derr, Document Delivery Services
Branch, National Agricultural Library,
10301 Baltimore Avenue, Beltsville, MD
20705–2351. Telephone (301) 504–5879
or fax (301) 504–6503.

The
proposed revised fee schedule for
interlibrary loan from the collections of
the National Agricultural Library is
shown below.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Fee
Loan Requests, Copy Requests (paper or microfilm up to 50 pages),
Microfiche Duplication Requests (up to 5 fiche).
$25.00 per request if invoiced through NTIS.
WREIER-aviles on DSK29S0YB1PROD with PROPOSALS
$18.00 per request if paid through OCLC’s Interlibrary Fee Management (IFM) service.
This fee schedule applies to
interlibrary loan requests only. All of
the current services will continue to be
offered under the revised fee schedule.
The lower fee for payment through the
IFM program reflects the lower
administrative cost of these transactions
due to the fact that IFM payment is
wholly electronic and no invoices have
to be produced or mailed. The National
Agricultural Library will continue to
invoice and collect fees through the
National Technical Information Service
(NTIS) for libraries which do not pay
through IFM. The fee for invoiced
requests is higher in order to cover the
fee charged by NTIS for producing and
processing invoices. This change has
been reviewed by the Office of
Management and Budget and deemed
‘‘not significant.’’
This action is not a ‘‘rule’’ as defined
under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5
U.S.C. 601, et seq.) and thus is exempt
from provisions of that Act.
This action is not likely to have an
impact of $100 million or more on the
U.S. economy and thus is not a
‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under
Executive Order (‘‘E.O.’’) 12866.
Therefore, this notice is not subject to
