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.
