Summary
Pursuant to the Privacy Act of 1974 and Office of Management and Budget Circular No. A-108, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) gives notice that an agency component, the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), proposes to modify an existing system of records notice titled, APHIS Veterinary Services User Fee System, USDA/APHIS-18. The system will be renamed the APHIS User Fee System, USDA/APHIS-18. This system, among other things, helps APHIS track, collect, and process fees associated with services APHIS provides.

The modification of the APHIS User Fee System directly affects businesses by introducing new regulatory requirements for payment submissions for services related to import/export activities in agriculture. As businesses will now be required to pay user fees for various services provided by APHIS, this has financial implications for operational costs and compliance.
