Electron bombardment mass spectrometers having both of the following features: d.1. A molecular beam inlet system that injects a collimated beam of analyte molecules into a region of the ion source where the molecules are ionized by an electron beam; and d.2. One or more cold traps that can be cooled to a temperature of 193 K (¥80 °C) or less in order to trap analyte molecules that are not ionized by the electron beam; e. Mass spectrometers equipped with a microfluorination ion source designed for actinides or actinide fluorides. Technical Notes: 1. ECCN 3A233.d controls mass spectrometers that are typically used for isotopic analysis of UF6 gas samples. VerDate Sep<11>2014 2. Electron bombardment mass spectrometers in ECCN 3A233.d are also known as electron impact mass spectrometers or electron ionization mass spectrometers. 3. In ECCN 3A233.d.2, a ‘‘cold trap’’ is a device that traps gas molecules by condensing or freezing them on cold surfaces. For the purposes of this ECCN, a closed-loop gaseous helium cryogenic vacuum pump is not a cold trap. 16:24 Aug 17, 2023 Jkt 259001 National Environmental Satellite, Data and Information Service (NESDIS), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Department of Commerce. ACTION: Final rule. AGENCY: In this final rule, NESDIS establishes a new schedule of fees for special access to NOAA data, information, and related products and services. NOAA continues to make its environmental data available to the public without any fee in most instances, primarily via NOAA’s Comprehensive Large Array-Data Stewardship System (CLASS). NESDIS is revising the fee schedule that has been in effect since 2021 to ensure that the fees accurately reflect the costs of providing access to the environmental data, information, and related products and services.

PO 00000 Frm 00007 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 56465 NESDIS maintains some 1,300 databases containing over 2,400 environmental variables at NCEI and 7 World Data Centers. These centers respond to over 2,000,000 requests for these data and products annually from over 70 countries, the vast majority of which are fulfilled at no fee to the requestor via NOAA CLASS. This collection of environmental data and products is growing rapidly, both in size and sophistication, and as a result the associated costs have increased. If CLASS is unable to meet a user’s need, users have the ability to access the special data products described in the table in Appendix A to part 950 offline, online and through the NESDIS eCommerce System (NeS) online store. Our ability to provide these special data, information, products and services depends on user fees. New Fee Schedule NESDIS is authorized under 15 U.S.C. 1534 to assess fees, based on fair market value, depending upon the user and intended use, for access to environmental data, information, and products derived from, collected, and/or archived by NOAA. In this final rule, NESDIS establishes a new schedule of fees for access to these special data, information, and related products and services. NESDIS is revising the fee schedule that has been in effect since 2021 to ensure that the fees accurately reflect the costs of providing access to the environmental data, information, and related products and services. The new fee schedule lists both the current fee charged for each item and the new fee to be charged to users that will take effect beginning September 30, 2023. The schedule applies to the listed services provided by NESDIS on or after September 30, 2023, except for products and services covered by a subscription agreement in effect as of September 30, 2023that extends beyond September 30, 2023. In those cases, the increased fees will apply upon renewal of the subscription agreement or at the earliest amendment date provided by the agreement. NESDIS will continue to review these user fees periodically, and will revise such fees as necessary. Any future changes in the user fees and their effective date will be announced through notice in the Federal Register.

Because a notice of proposed rulemaking and an opportunity for public comment are not required to be given for this rule under 5 U.S.C. 553 or by any other law, the requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) are not applicable.

Schedule of Fees for Access to NOAA Environmental Data, 
Information, and Related Products and Services

AGENCY: National Environmental Satellite, Data and Information Service 
(NESDIS), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In this final rule, NESDIS establishes a new schedule of fees 
for special access to NOAA data, information, and related products and 
services. NOAA continues to make its environmental data available to 
the public without any fee in most instances, primarily via NOAA's 
Comprehensive Large Array-Data Stewardship System (CLASS). NESDIS is 
revising the fee schedule that has been in effect since 2021 to ensure 
that the fees accurately reflect the costs of providing access to the 
environmental data, information, and related products and services.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    NESDIS operates NOAA's National Centers for Environmental 
Information (NCEI). Through NCEI, NESDIS provides and ensures timely 
access to global environmental data from satellites and other sources, 
provides information services, and develops science products.
    NESDIS maintains some 1,300 databases containing over 2,400 
environmental variables at NCEI and 7 World Data Centers. These centers 
respond to over 2,000,000 requests for these data and products annually 
from over 70 countries, the vast majority of which are fulfilled at no 
fee to the requestor via NOAA CLASS. This collection of environmental 
data and products is growing rapidly, both in size and sophistication, 
and as a result the associated costs have increased.
    If CLASS is unable to meet a user's need, users have the ability to 
access the special data products described in the table in Appendix A 
to part 950 offline, online and through the NESDIS e-Commerce System 
(NeS) online store. Our ability to provide these special data, 
information, products and services depends on user fees.

New Fee Schedule

    NESDIS is authorized under 15 U.S.C. 1534 to assess fees, based on 
fair market value, depending upon the user and intended use, for access 
to environmental data, information, and products derived from, 
collected, and/or archived by NOAA. In this final rule, NESDIS 
establishes a new schedule of fees for access to these special data, 
information, and related products and services. NESDIS is revising the 
fee schedule that has been in effect since 2021 to ensure that the fees 
accurately reflect the costs of providing access to the environmental 
data, information, and related products and services. The new fee 
schedule lists both the current fee charged for each item and the new 
fee to be charged to users that will take effect beginning September 
30, 2023. The schedule applies to the listed services provided by 
NESDIS on or after September 30, 2023, except for products and services 
covered by a subscription agreement in effect as of September 30, 
2023that extends beyond September 30, 2023. In those cases, the 
increased fees will apply upon renewal of the subscription agreement or 
at the earliest amendment date provided by the agreement.
    NESDIS will continue to review these user fees periodically, and 
will revise such fees as necessary. Any future changes in the user fees 
and their effective date will be announced through notice in the 
Federal Register.

Classification

    This rule has been determined to be significant for purposes of 
E.O. 12866.
    The provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553) 
requiring notice of proposed rulemaking and the opportunity for public 
participation are

[[Page 56466]]

inapplicable because this rule falls within the public property 
exception of paragraph (a)(2) of section 553, as it relates only to the 
assessment of fees, as authorized by 15 U.S.C. 1534. Further, no other 
law requires that a notice of proposed rulemaking and an opportunity 
for public comment be given for this rule.
    Because a notice of proposed rulemaking and an opportunity for 
public comment are not required to be given for this rule under 5 
U.S.C. 553 or by any other law, the requirements of the Regulatory 
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) are not applicable. Accordingly, 
no Regulatory Flexibility Analysis is required and none has been 
prepared.
    This rule contains no information collection requirements under the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
