2023-13378. Update of Existing FMC User Fees

AGENCY:

Federal Maritime Commission

ACTION:

Correcting amendments.

SUMMARY:

On March 21, 2023, the Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) published in the Federal Register a direct final rule and request for comment updating its user fees. The document inadvertently stated an incorrect amount for two fees. The document stated as the cost for certification/validation of documents as $93 instead of $107, and for Non-Attorney Admission to Practice as $195 instead of $229. This document corrects the error by aligning the fees as stated in the rule with those that were correctly identified in the 2023–3–07FY23 User Fee Control File provided in the docket as a supporting document.

DATES:

This correction is effective on July 24, 2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

In the March 21, 2023 direct final rule that the FMC published in the Federal Register , the rule inadvertently stated the incorrect amount for two fees for certain services. The fee for the certification/validation of documents found at both 46 CFR 503.50(c)(4) and 46 CFR 503.69(b)(2) was stated as $93 instead of $107. Similarly, the fee for Non-Attorney Admission to Practice at 46 CFR 503.50(d) was listed as $195 instead of $229. Included in the docket with the direct final rule as a supporting document was the 2023–3–07FY23 User Fee Control File.

The FMC is now correcting the error by aligning the fees in stated in the rule with those that were correctly identified in the 2023–3–07FY23 User Fee Control File provided in the docket as a supporting document.
