Products and materials used in structures are approved via the Technical Suitability of Products (TSP) program under the authority of section 521 of the National Housing Act, 12 U.S.C. 1735e. Under the rule, manufacturers that seek HUD acceptance of their materials and products under the TSP program will be charged fees for initial applications, renewals, and revisions with respect to review of documentation demonstrating technical suitability. Paragraph (c) of 24 CFR 200.934 provides, in relevant part, that the Department will ‘‘establish and amend’’ the fee schedule by publication of a notice in the Federal Register.

A fee increase is necessary for the following reasons: (1) To maintain partial recovery of program costs, since fees have not been adjusted for nearly 20 years; (2) to compensate the Department more adequately for the significant labor involved in processing ‘‘revisions,’’ which require substantially more work than ‘‘renewals’’; (3) to bring the Department’s fees more in line with, although significantly lower than, other similarly-missioned nationally recognized technical evaluation programs (such as the International Code Council Evaluation Service); and (4) to recognize the fact that TSP renewals are for a 3-year period, which is a longer duration than provided by other nationally recognized evaluation programs.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the authority of Section 7(j) of the

which permits the Department to ``establish fees and charges for 
inspection, project review and financing service, . . . and other 
beneficial rights, privileges, licenses, and services'' it provides, 
the Department issued a final rule on August 9, 1984 (49 FR 31854), 
codified at 24 CFR 200.934, establishing a system of fees to be charged 
to manufacturers of products and materials used on structures approved 
for mortgages or loans insured under the National Housing Act (12 
U.S.C. 1701 et seq.). Products and materials used in structures are 
approved via the Technical Suitability of Products (TSP) program under

result of the present User Fee Schedule does not maintain the current 
minimum level of support for the ongoing TSP program and requires 
adjustment to maintain the integrity and effectiveness of the program. 
A fee increase is necessary for the following reasons: (1) To maintain 
partial recovery of program costs, since fees have not been adjusted 
for nearly 20 years; (2) to compensate the Department more adequately 
for the significant labor involved in processing ``revisions,'' which 
require substantially more work than ``renewals''; (3) to bring the 
Department's fees more in line with, although significantly lower than, 
other similarly-missioned nationally recognized technical evaluation 
programs (such as the International Code Council Evaluation Service); 
and (4) to recognize the fact that TSP renewals are for a 3-year 
period, which is a longer duration than provided by other nationally 
recognized evaluation programs.
    Accordingly, notice is hereby given that the Department is revising 
the fee schedule published in the notice of May 1, 1997 (62 FR 23783), 
as set forth below. Note that the Department is discontinuing issuance 
of State Letters of Acceptance (SLA) and Mechanical Engineering 
Bulletins (MEB). This modification reflects a change in Departmental 
procedures which authorized the Department's State Offices to issue 
SLAs; MEBs, which covers separate utility cores or nonstandard 
mechanical systems, i.e. modular utility cores, kitchens and baths, are 
no longer issued by HUD under the TSP program. This notice also 
clarifies that the revision and basic renewal fees apply to Structural 
Engineering Bulletins (SEBs) and Materials Releases (MRs).
    The complete fee schedule, as revised, is as follows:

(i) Initial Applications

    Structural Engineering Bulletins (SEBs)--$6,000.
    Materials Releases (MRs)--$6,000.
    Use of Materials Bulletins--Administrator Review for Acceptance 
(ARAs)--$4,400.

    The following fee schedule, as revised, will be assessed every 
three years for renewal without change:
    Structural Engineering Bulletins (SEBs)--$1,200.
    Materials Releases (MRs)--$1,200.

    Authority: Sections 7 (d) and (j), Department of Housing and 
Urban Development Act, 42 U.S.C. 3535 (d) and (j), and 24 CFR 
200.934(c).
