7 CFR Part 505 

RIN 0518–8AA04 

Modification of Interlibrary Loan Fee 

Schedule 

AGENCY: Agricultural Research Service, 

USDA. 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Agricultural Research 

Service proposes to amend its 

regulations on the fee schedule for 

interlibrary loan from the collections of 

the National Agricultural Library. 

The revised fee schedule is based on 

the method of payment used (traditional 

invoicing through the National 

Technical Information Service (NTIS) or 

payment through the Online Computer 

Library Center (OCLC) network’s 

Interlibrary Fee Management program, a 

debit/credit program for interlibrary 

loan) rather than type of material 

requested (loan, photocopy, microform) 

and eliminates the current billing 

surcharge which is instead incorporated 

into the revised flat fee. The revision 

brings these fees up to date in order to 

support the current cost of providing the 

service and will enable customers to 

estimate charges more easily and 

distribute them more effectively within 

their own institutions. 

DATES: Submit comments on or before 

November 15, 2011. 

ADDRESSES: Send comments to Kay 

Derr, Document Delivery Services 

Branch, National Agricultural Library, 

10301 Baltimore Avenue, Beltsville, MD 

20705–2351. Telephone (301) 504–5879 

or fax (301) 504–6503.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

proposed revised fee schedule for 

interlibrary loan from the collections of 

the National Agricultural Library is 

shown below. 

Format Fee 

Loan Requests, Copy Requests (paper or microfilm up to 50 pages), 

Microfiche Duplication Requests (up to 5 fiche).

$25.00 per request if invoiced through NTIS. 

$18.00 per request if paid through OCLC’s Interlibrary Fee Management (IFM) service. 

This fee schedule applies to 

interlibrary loan requests only. All of 

the current services will continue to be 

offered under the revised fee schedule. 

The lower fee for payment through the 

IFM program reflects the lower 

administrative cost of these transactions 

due to the fact that IFM payment is 

wholly electronic and no invoices have 

to be produced or mailed. The National 

Agricultural Library will continue to 

invoice and collect fees through the 

National Technical Information Service 

(NTIS) for libraries which do not pay 

through IFM. The fee for invoiced 

requests is higher in order to cover the 

fee charged by NTIS for producing and 

processing invoices. This change has 

been reviewed by the Office of 

Management and Budget and deemed 

‘‘not significant.’’ 

This action is not a ‘‘rule’’ as defined 

under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 

U.S.C. 601, et seq.) and thus is exempt 

from provisions of that Act. 

This action is not likely to have an 

impact of $100 million or more on the 

U.S. economy and thus is not a 

‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under 

Executive Order (‘‘E.O.’’) 12866. 

Therefore, this notice is not subject to 

formal Office of Management and 

Budget review. 

List of Subjects in 7 CFR Part 505:

Libraries, Research, User fees. 

For reasons set forth in the preamble, 

the Agricultural Research Service

and reproduction of materials in library 

collections. 

505.3 [Reserved] 

505.4 [Reserved] 

505.5 [Reserved] 

505.6 Payment of fees. 

Authority: 5 U.S.C. 301; 7 U.S.C. 3125a. 

§ 505.1 Scope and purpose. 

These regulations establish fees for 

loans, copying, duplication, or 

reproduction of materials in the 

collections of the National Agricultural 

Library (NAL) within the United States 

Department of Agriculture (USDA). 

§ 505.2 Fees for loans, copying, 

duplicating and reproduction of materials in 

library collections. 

(a) NAL will provide interlibrary loan 

service (including loans of original 

materials from its collections and copies 

of portions of documents with copyright 

compliance) and charge fees for such 

service to other non-Federal and nonUSDA libraries and institutions. Loans 

will be provided within the United 

States and Canada only. Copies will be 

provided within the United States and 

internationally. 

(b) Interlibrary loan service will be 

provided at a flat fee of $18 per request 

for libraries paying electronically 

through OCLC’s Interlibrary Loan Fee 

Management (IFM) program and at a flat 

rate of $25 per request for libraries 

paying by other methods. 

(c) Cost for replacement of lost or 

damaged items will be the actual cost to 

purchase a replacement plus a $50.00 

processing fee; or if replacement cost 

cannot be determined, a flat rate of 

$75.00 for monographs or $150.00 for 

audiovisuals per item plus a $50.00 

processing fee. 

(d) Photographic services from NAL 

Special Collections will be charged at 

cost for reproduction of the photo 

product (slides, transparencies, etc.)

plus a preparation fee of $25.00 per half 

hour or fraction thereof. 

§ 505.3 [Reserved] 

§ 505.4 [Reserved] 

§ 505.5 [Reserved] 

§ 505.6 Payment of Fees. 

NAL charges for interlibrary loans 

through OCLC’s Interlibrary Loan Fee 

Management Program (an electronic 

debit/credit payment program for 

libraries using OCLC’s resource sharing 

service) or by invoice through the 

National Technical Information Service 

(NTIS) of the United States Department 

of Commerce. Payment for invoiced 

services will be made by check, money 

order or credit card in U.S. funds 

directly to NTIS upon receipt of invoice 

from NTIS. NAL encourages users to 

establish deposit accounts with NTIS for 

payment of interlibrary loan fees. 

Subject to a reduction for the actual 

costs of performing the invoicing service 

by NTIS, all funds will be returned to 

NAL for credit to the appropriations 

account charged with the cost of 

processing the interlibrary loan request.

[Docket No. CPSC–2010–0087] 

Petition Requesting Regulations 

Restricting Cadmium in Children’s 

Products 

AGENCY: Consumer Product Safety 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Consumer Product Safety 

Commission (‘‘Commission’’ or ‘‘CPSC’’ 

or ‘‘we’’) has received a petition 

requesting standards restricting 

cadmium in children’s products, 

especially toy metal jewelry. On 

September 6, 2011, the Commission 

granted the petition and directed CPSC 

staff to begin drafting a proposed rule 

unless a voluntary standard for 

cadmium in children’s jewelry is 

published by ASTM International, Inc. 

(‘‘ASTM’’) within three months after 

September 16, 2011. If a voluntary 

standard for cadmium in children’s 

jewelry is published by ASTM within 

this timeframe, then CPSC staff is 

directed to assess the adequacy of the 

voluntary standard and whether there is 

substantial compliance with the 

voluntary standard and based on these 

assessments make a recommendation on 

the disposition of this petition within 

nine months after September 16, 2011. 

In addition, the Commission granted 

the petition and directed CPSC staff to 

begin drafting a proposed rule unless a 

voluntary standard for cadmium in 

children’s toy jewelry is published by 

ASTM within three months after 

September 16, 2011. If a voluntary 

standard for cadmium in children’s toy 

jewelry is published by ASTM within 

this timeframe, then CPSC staff is 

directed to assess the adequacy of the 

voluntary standard and whether there is 

substantial compliance with the 

voluntary standard and based on these 

assessments make a recommendation on 

the disposition of this petition within 

nine months after September 16, 2011.
