    Abstract: The Harbor Maintenance Fee (HMF) and Trust Fund is used 
for the operation and maintenance of certain U.S. channels and harbors 
by the Army Corps of Engineers. U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) is required to collect the HMF from importers, domestic shippers, 
and passenger vessel operators using federal navigation projects. 
Commercial cargo loaded on or unloaded from a commercial vessel is 
subject to a port use fee of 0.125 percent of its value if the loading 
or unloading occurs at a port that has been designated by the Army 
Corps of Engineers. The HMF also applies to the total ticket value of 
embarking and disembarking passengers and on cargo admissions into a 
Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ).
    CBP Form 349, Harbor Maintenance Fee Quarterly Summary Report, and 
CBP Form 350, Harbor Maintenance Fee Amended Quarterly Summary Report 
are completed by domestic shippers, foreign trade zone applicants, and 
passenger vessel operators and submitted with payment to CBP.
    CBP uses the information collected on CBP Forms 349 and 350 to 
verify that the fee collected is timely and accurately submitted. These 
forms are authorized by the Water Resources Development Act of 1986 (26 
U.S.C. 4461, et seq.) and provided for by 19 CFR 24.24, which also 
includes the list of designated ports. CBP Forms 349 and 350 are 
accessible at http://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/publications/forms or they
