CBP Schedules Oct. 22 User Fee Advisory Committee Meeting

The CBP User Fee Advisory Committee is scheduled to meet on Oct. 22 from 1-3 p.m., the agency said in a notice. The meeting will include discussion of work by two subcommittees that were established last month (see 14090217), it said. The Financial Assessment and Options Subcommittee will be responsible for providing CBP an "overview of current worldwide user fees being paid by industry, mapping how industry collects and transmits user fees," it said. It will also discuss initiating a third party study that would improve the committee and CBP's understanding of budget, costs, and funding sources, said CBP. "The Processes Subcommittee will be responsible for developing advice that would enhance CBP operational efficiencies," the notice said.
