SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    Section 13031 of the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act 
of 1985 (Pub. L. 99-272) established that an annual user fee of $125 is 
to be assessed for each Customs broker's permit held by an individual, 
partnership, association or corporate broker. This fee is set forth in 
the Customs Regulations in Sec. 111.96 (19 CFR 111.96).
    Section 111.96 Customs Regulations provides that the fee is payable 
for each calendar year in each district where a broker has a permit to 
do business by the due date which will be published in the Federal 
Register annually.
    Section 1893 of the Tax Reform Act of 1986 (Pub. L. 99-0415), 
provides that notice of the date on which payment is due of the user 
fee for each broker permit shall be published by the Secretary of the 
Treasury in the Federal Register no later than 60 days before such due 
date.
    This document notifies brokers that for 1994, the due date for 
payment of the user fee is March 1, 1994. It is expected that annual 
user fees for brokers for subsequent years will be due on or about the 
15th of January each year.

Commissioner of Customs.
