Background on the CBP Airport and 

Seaport Inspections User Fee Advisory 

Committee 

The CBP Airport and Seaport 

Inspections User Fee Advisory 

Committee (hereinafter the ‘‘Advisory 

Committee’’) was created under the 

authority of Section 286(k) of the 

Immigration and Nationality Act of 

1952, as amended by the Department of 

Justice Appropriations Act of 1986 [Pub. 

L. 99–59; enacted October 30, 1986] (8 

U.S.C. 1356(k)). Formerly known as the 

Immigration and Naturalization Service 

(INS) Airport and Seaport Inspections 

User Fee Advisory Committee, the 

original Advisory Committee was 

responsible only for immigration airport 

and seaport inspectional services and 

associated user fees. The Executive 

Associate Commissioner, Immigration 

and Naturalization Service (INS) chaired 

that advisory committee. 

The Homeland Security Act of 2002 

merged portions of the U.S. Customs 

Service and the INS to create Customs 

and Border Protection (CBP), as part of 

the Department of Homeland Security 

(DHS). Section 1512(d) of the Homeland 

Security Act of 2002 transferred the 

responsibilities of the Advisory 

Committee to CBP. Under CBP, the 

executive Directors of Budget, Office of 

Finance; and Travel Security and 

Facilitation, Office of Field Operations, 

chair the Advisory Committee. 

The Advisory Committee held its first 

meeting under the direction of CBP in 

October 2003. A subsequent meeting 

was held in April 2004. It is noted that 

before the creation of DHS, there was an 

advisory committee called the 

Consolidated Omnibus Budget 

Reconciliation Act (COBRA) Fees 

Advisory Committee, which met to 

discuss user fee issues related to 

customs inspectional services. All 

advisory responsibilities previously 

handled by the COBRA Fees Advisory 

Committee have been vested within this 

Advisory Committee. 

In June 2005, the Advisory 

Committee’s charter was renewed and 

amended in consultation with the DHS 

Committee Management Officer. The 

charter reflects the broader 

responsibilities of CBP, providing that 

the Advisory Committee will give 

advice and recommendations on policy 

and program issues relating to CBP 

inspectional services at airports and 

seaports, whether the inspectional 

services relate to agriculture, customs, 

or immigration functions. 

Purpose of Committee 

The purpose of this Advisory 

Committee is the performance of 

advisory responsibilities pursuant to 

section 286(k) of the Immigration and 

Nationality Act (INA), as amended, 8 

U.S.C. 1356(k) and the Federal Advisory 

Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. app. 1 et seq. 

This Advisory Committee will advise on 

issues related to the performance of 

Airport and Seaport agriculture, 

customs, and immigration inspection 

services. This advice should include, 

but need not be limited to, the time 

period in which such services should be 

performed, the proper number and 

deployment of inspection officers, the 

level of fees, and the appropriateness of 

any proposed fee. These responsibilities 

are related to the assessment of an 

immigration user fee pursuant to 8 

U.S.C. 1356(d), the assessment of a 

customs inspection user fee pursuant to 

19 U.S.C. 58c(a)(5), and the assessment 

of an agriculture inspection user fee 

pursuant to 21 U.S.C 136a. The 

Advisory Committee focuses its 

attention on those areas of most concern 

and benefit to the travel industry, the 

traveling public, and the Federal 

Government.

public may register to attend the public 

session on a first-come, first-served 

basis per the procedures that follow.

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE 

Notice of Lodging of Settlement 

Agreement Under the Oil Pollution Act 

(‘‘OPA’’) 

Notice is hereby given that on 

November 4, 2005, a proposed 

Settlement Agreement in In re Equinox 

Oil Co., Inc., et al., Civil Action Nos. 

99–12688 and 99–13071 was lodged 

with the United States Bankruptcy 

Court for the Eastern District of 

Louisiana. 

The United States and the State of 

Louisiana (‘‘State’’) each filed a Proof of 

Claim in this jointly administered 

bankruptcy action, seeking natural 

resource damages, and the United States 

also sought removal costs paid by the 

Coast Guard to clean up oil that was 

discharged into the waters of Lake 

Grande Ecaille in Plaquemines Parish, 

Louisiana during a well blowout. The 

State and federal claims were 

authorized by the Oil Pollution Act 

(‘‘OPA’’). The well was owned by Alma 

Energy Corporation and operated by 

Equinox Oil Company, Inc. These 

companies filed for bankruptcy and 

subsequently were purchased by 

Elysium Energy, L.L.C. (‘‘Elysium’’), 

which assumed liability for these 

claims. 

Under the Settlement Agreement, 

Elysium agreed to pay $1.2 million to 

resolve the United States’ and the 

State’s natural resource damage claims, 

including costs to implement restoration 

projects on property near the location of 

the oil spill, past assessment costs, and 

estimated future restoration costs. The 

Coast Guard’s removal costs were paid 

earlier. 

The Department of Justice will receive 

for a period of thirty (30) days from the 

date of this publication comments 

relating to the proposed Settlement 

Agreement. Comments should be
