Background and Explanation of
Provisions
Internal Revenue Service
The Independent Offices
Appropriations Act (IOAA), which is
codified at 31 U.S.C. 9701, authorizes
agencies to prescribe regulations that
establish charges for services provided
by the agencies (user fees). The charges
must be fair and must be based on the
costs to the government, the value of the
service to the recipient, the public
policy or interest served, and other
relevant facts. The IOAA provides that
regulations implementing user fees are
subject to policies prescribed by the
President. Those policies are currently
set forth in the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) Circular A–25, 58 FR
38142 (July 15, 1993) (the OMB
Circular).
The OMB Circular encourages
agencies to charge user fees for
government-provided services that
confer benefits on identifiable recipients
over and above those benefits received
by the general public. Under the OMB
Circular, an agency that seeks to impose
a user fee for government-provided
services must calculate its full cost of
providing those services. In general, the
amount of a user fee should recover the
cost of providing the service, unless
OMB grants an exception.
