SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The Independent Offices Appropriation Act of 1952 (IOAA), 31 U.S.C. 
9701, authorizes agencies to establish charges (user fees) for services 
and benefits that they provide to specific recipients. Under the IOAA, 
charges must be fair and based on the costs to the Government, the 
value of the service or thing to the recipient, the public policy or 
interest served, and other relevant facts. The IOAA also provides that 
regulations implementing user fees are subject to policies prescribed 
by the President, which are currently set forth in Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) Circular A-25, User Charges (revised July 8, 1993).
    Under OMB Circular A-25, fees must be established for Government-
provided services that confer benefits on identifiable recipients over 
and above those benefits received by the general public. OMB Circular 
A-25 further provides that user fees must be sufficient to recover the 
full cost to the government for providing the service, resource, or 
good. Agencies are advised to determine or estimate costs based on the 
best available records in the agency and to ensure that cost 
computations cover the direct and indirect costs to the agency of 
providing the service.
    OMB Circular A-25 also directs agencies to review biennially: (1) 
User charges for agency programs to assure that existing charges are 
adjusted to reflect unanticipated changes in costs or market values; 
and (2) all other agency programs to determine whether fees should be 
assessed. The Commission last reviewed and updated its user fees in 
2016, when it revised its methodology for assessing fees to conform to 
OMB Circular A-25. 81 FR 59141 (Aug. 29, 2016).

II. Fee Adjustments

    The Commission has reviewed its data on the time and cost involved 
in providing particular services to arrive at the updated direct and 
indirect labor costs for those services. As part of its assessment, the 
Commission utilized salaries of Full Time Equivalents (FTEs) assigned 
to fee-generating activities to identify the various direct and 
indirect costs associated with providing services. Direct labor costs 
include clerical and professional time expended on an activity. 
Indirect labor costs include labor provided by bureaus and offices that 
provide direct support to the fee-generating offices in their efforts 
to provide services, and include managerial and supervisory costs 
associated with providing a particular service. Other indirect costs 
include Government overhead costs, such as fringe benefits and other 
wage-related Government contributions contained in OMB Circular A-76, 
Performance of Commercial Activities (revised May 29, 2003) and office 
general and administrative expenses.\1\ The sum of these indirect cost 
components gives an indirect cost factor that is added to the direct 
labor costs of an activity to arrive at the fully distributed cost. A 
more detailed description of the Commission's methodology has been 
included in the docket.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ OMB Circular A-76 lists the following indirect labor costs: 
Leave and holidays, retirement, worker's compensation, awards, 
health and life insurance, and Medicare. General and administrative 
costs are expressed as a percentage of basic pay. These include all 
salaries and overhead such as rent, utilities, supplies, and 
equipment allocated to Commission offices that provide direct 
support to fee-generating offices such as the Office of the Managing 
Director, Office of Information Technology, Office of Human 
Resources, Office of Budget and Finance, and the Office of 
Management Services.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission is increasing some fees to reflect increases in 
salary and indirect (overhead) costs. For some services, an increase in 
processing or review time may account for all or part of the increase 
in the amount of the fees. For other services, fees are lower than 
current fees due to an overall reduced cost to provide those services. 
One fee is being removed, and no new fees are being added.
    The Commission is including in the docket two supporting documents 
providing detailed information on the updated user fee calculations. 
The first document shows the current direct and indirect costs for each 
service for which a fee is assessed. The second document compares the 
current fee amounts established in 2016 with the updated fee amounts 
reflecting the current costs, showing the percentage increase or 
decrease and change in dollar amount. We briefly describe below those 
changes that result in more than a 10 percent increase or decrease to a 
particular fee.

A. Informal Small Claims (Part 502)

    The filing fee for informal small claims filed under subpart S of 
the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (46 CFR part 502) is 
increasing from $85.00 to $106.00 due to a shift in some of the 
reviewing and processing time from Office of the Secretary staff to the 
Secretary.

B. Record Search and Document Duplication Fees (Part 503)

    The hourly rate for document searches in response to Freedom of 
Information Act (FOIA) requests are increasing as follows: From $27 to 
$52 per hour for clerical/administrative personnel and from $57 to $81 
per hours for professional executive personnel. The minimum charge for 
a records search is increasing from $27 to $31. The fee for the review 
of records to determine whether they are exempt from disclosure is 
increasing from $57 per hour to $105 per hour. These updated rates 
reflect the higher fiscal year 2017 salaries of the employees 
performing these tasks.
    The fees for duplicating records and documents are also increasing. 
Similar to the search charges, the hourly rate for duplicating 
documents is increasing

[[Page 50292]]

from $27 to $57, and the minimum duplication charge is also increasing 
from $5 to $6, to reflect the higher salaries of staff performing these 
services.

C. Certification and Validation of Documents (Part 503)

    The fees for certifying and validating documents filed with or 
issued by the Commission is increasing from $84 to $124. This updated 
fee reflects the higher fiscal year 2017 salaries of the staff who 
perform these tasks.

D. Non-Attorney Admission To Practice (Part 503)

    The application fee for non-attorneys seeking admission to practice 
before the Commission is increasing from $153 to $208. This updated fee 
reflects the higher fiscal year 2017 salaries of the employees who 
review and process these applications.

E. Docket Mailing List (Part 503)

    The Commission is removing the $9 fee associated with being placed 
on a mailing list to receive all issuances pertaining to a specific 
docket. Docket issuances are posted in the electronic reading room on 
the Commission's website,\2\ and mailing lists for specific dockets are 
therefore no longer necessary.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ https://www.fmc.gov/electronic_reading_room/activity_logs.aspx.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

F. OTI Licensing Fees (Part 515)

    The paper application fee for a new ocean transportation 
intermediary (OTI) license is increasing from $1,055 to $1,962, and the 
paper application fee for a change to an OTI license or license 
transfer is increasing from $735 to $1,548. These changes reflect 
increased review and processing times for these applications. Fees for 
electronically filed applications remain the same: $250 for new OTI 
licenses and $125 for changes to an OTI license or license transfer. 
While the automated filing system allows users to file their 
applications electronically, the automated system for processing the 
applications is still under development. As noted in the 2016 final 
rule, the fees for the electronic filing of OTI applications will be 
addressed by the Commission when the entire FMC-18 automated system is 
complete and operational, and the costs of the system and its impact on 
the review of OTI applications can be quantified.

G. Passenger Vessel Operator Performance and Casualty Certificates 
(Part 540)

    The application fees for Certificates of Financial Responsibility 
for Indemnification of Passengers for Nonperformance of Transportation 
are increasing as follows: From $2,284 to $3,272 for general 
applications; and from $1,224 to $1,652 for applications to add or 
substitute a vessel to the applicant's fleet. For Certificates of 
Financial Responsibility to Meet Liability Incurred for Death or Injury 
to Passengers or Other Persons on Voyages, the application fees are 
increasing as follows: From $1,085 to $1,441 for general applications; 
and from $593 to $718 for applications to add or substitute a vessel to 
the applicant's fleet. These increases are primarily due to a change in 
grade level of the staff reviewing and processing these applications.
    This rule also corrects errors made to Sec.  540.3(e) by the 2016 
user fee rulemaking. The 2016 final rule's amendatory instructions 
inadvertently duplicated the first sentence of Sec.  540.3 and deleted 
the last sentence. This rule restores the text (aside from the updated 
fee amounts) to the pre-2016 version.

III. Public Participation

How do I prepare and submit comments?

    Your comments must be written and in English. To ensure that your 
comments are correctly filed in the docket, please include the docket 
number of this document in your comments.
    You may submit your comments via email to the email address listed 
above under ADDRESSES. Please include the docket number associated with 
this notice and the subject matter in the subject line of the email. 
Comments should be attached to the email as a Microsoft Word or text-
searchable PDF document. Only non-confidential and public versions of 
confidential comments should be submitted by email.
    You may also submit comments by mail to the address listed above 
under ADDRESSES.

How do I submit confidential business information?

    The Commission will provide confidential treatment for identified 
confidential information to the extent allowed by law. If your comments 
contain confidential information, you must submit the following by mail 
to the address listed above under ADDRESSES:
     A transmittal letter requesting confidential treatment 
that identifies the specific information in the comments for which 
protection is sought and demonstrates that the information is a trade 
secret or other confidential research, development, or commercial 
information.
     A confidential copy of your comments, consisting of the 
complete filing with a cover page marked ``Confidential--Restricted,'' 
and the confidential material clearly marked on each page. You should 
submit the confidential copy to the Commission by mail.
     A public version of your comments with the confidential 
information excluded. The public version must state ``Public Version--
confidential materials excluded'' on the cover page and on each 
affected page, and must clearly indicate any information withheld. You 
may submit the public version to the Commission by email or mail.

Will the Commission consider late comments?

    The Commission will consider all comments received before the close 
of business on the comment closing date indicated above under DATES. 
Because this is a direct final rule that will go into effect as 
specified in the DATES section in the absence of significant adverse 
comment received during the comment period, the Commission will not 
consider any comments filed after the comment closing date.

How can I read comments submitted by other people?

    You may read the comments received by the Commission at the 
Commission's Electronic Reading Room or the Docket Activity Library at 
the addresses listed above under ADDRESSES.

IV. Rulemaking Analyses and Notices

Direct Final Rule Justification

    The Commission expects the user fee updates to be noncontroversial. 
Under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), a 
final rule may be issued without notice and comment when the agency for 
good cause finds (and incorporates the finding and a brief statement of 
reasons therefor in the rules issued) that notice and public procedure 
thereon are impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public 
interest. This rule merely updates the user fee amounts for various 
services provided by the Commission based on a review of the costs to 
provide these services. This rule makes no substantive changes to the 
Commission's regulations nor does it

[[Page 50293]]

affect any filing or other requirement. Accordingly, the Commission has 
determined that providing an opportunity for comment prior to 
publication of this direct final rule is unnecessary under 5 U.S.C. 
553(b)(B).
    This rule will therefore become effective on the date listed in the 
DATES section, unless the Commission receives significant adverse 
comments within the specified period. The Commission recognizes that 
parties may have information that could impact the Commission's views 
and intentions with respect to the revised regulations, and the 
Commission intends to consider any comments filed. The Commission will 
withdraw the rule by the date specified in the DATES section if it 
receives significant adverse comments.
    We note that the scope of the rulemaking is limited to the amounts 
charged for Commission services, and any changes to the underlying 
regulations governing those services or related requirements would be 
outside this scope. Accordingly, comments on the underlying regulations 
and related requirements will not be considered adverse. Filed comments 
that are not adverse may be considered for modifications to the 
Commission's regulations at a future date. If no significant adverse 
comments are received, the rule will become effective without 
additional action by the Commission.

Congressional Review Act

    The rule is not a ``major rule'' as defined by the Congressional 
Review Act, codified at 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq. The rule will not result 
in: (1) An annual effect on the economy of $100,000,000 or more; (2) a 
major increase in costs or prices; or (3) significant adverse effects 
on competition, employment, investment, productivity, innovation, or 
the ability of United States-based companies to compete with foreign-
based companies. 5 U.S.C. 804(2).

Regulatory Flexibility Act

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act (codified as amended at 5 U.S.C. 
601-612) provides that whenever an agency promulgates a final rule 
after being required to publish a notice of proposed rulemaking under 
the APA (5 U.S.C. 553), the agency must prepare and make available a 
final regulatory flexibility analysis (FRFA) describing the impact of 
the rule on small entities. 5 U.S.C. 604. An agency is not required to 
publish a FRFA, however, for the following types of rules, which are 
excluded from the APA's notice-and-comment requirement: Interpretative 
rules; general statements of policy; rules of agency organization, 
procedure, or practice; and rules for which the agency for good cause 
finds that notice and comment is impracticable, unnecessary, or 
contrary to public interest. See 5 U.S.C. 553(b).
    As discussed above, the Commission has for good cause determined 
that notice and comment in this case is unnecessary. Therefore, the APA 
does not require publication of a notice of proposed rulemaking in this 
instance, and the Commission is not required to prepare a FRFA.

National Environmental Policy Act

    The Commission's regulations categorically exclude certain 
rulemakings from any requirement to prepare an environmental assessment 
or an environmental impact statement because they do not increase or 
decrease air, water or noise pollution or the use of fossil fuels, 
recyclables, or energy. 46 CFR 504.4. This rule updates user fees for 
services that fall within various categorical exclusions, and no 
environmental assessment or environmental impact statement is required. 
In particular, rulemakings related to the following fall under 
categorical exclusions: Processing OTI licenses (Sec.  504.4(a)(1)); 
certification of financial responsibility of passenger vessels under 
part 540 (Sec.  504.4(a)(2)); promulgation of procedural rules under 
part 502 (Sec.  504.4(a)(4); receipt of service contracts (Sec.  
504.4(a)(5)); consideration of special permission applications under 
part 520 (Sec.  504.4(a)(6)); consideration of agreements (Sec.  
504.4(a)(9)-(13), (30)-(35); action taken on special docket 
applications under Sec.  502.271 (Sec.  504.4(a)(19)); and action 
regarding access to public information under part 503 (Sec.  
504.4(a)(24)).

Executive Order 12988 (Civil Justice Reform)

    This rule meets the applicable standards in E.O. 12988 titled, 
``Civil Justice Reform,'' to minimize litigation, eliminate ambiguity, 
and reduce burden.

Paperwork Reduction Act

    The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3521) requires 
an agency to seek and receive approval from the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) before collecting information from the public. 44 
U.S.C. 3507. The agency must submit collections of information in rules 
to OMB in conjunction with the publication of a rule. 5 CFR 1320.11. 
This rule does not contain any collections of information as defined by 
44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c).

Regulation Identifier Number

    The Commission assigns a regulation identifier number (RIN) to each 
regulatory action listed in the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory 
and Deregulatory Actions (Unified Agenda). The Regulatory Information 
Service Center publishes the Unified Agenda in April and October of 
each year. You may use the RIN contained in the heading at the 
beginning of this document to find this action in the Unified Agenda, 
available at http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/eAgendaMain.
