Conclusion
DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
For the reasons provided above, ITA
believes its revised fees are consistent
with the objective of OMB Circular A–
25 to ‘‘promote efficient allocation of
the Nation’s resources by establishing
charges for special benefits provided to
the recipient that are at least as great as
costs to the Government of providing
the special benefits.’’ OMB Circular A–
25(5) (b). For 2017 data, the fees will be
increased as proposed. ITA will
continue to reassess the fee schedule, in
accordance with OMB Circular A–25, at
