Fiscal Year 2005 Reimbursable Overtime Rates and Veterinary Diagnostic Service User Fees
A Notice by the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service on 08/31/2004
Docket No. 04-080-1
https://www.federalregister.gov/d/04-19809 https://www.federalregister.gov/d/04-19809
This notice pertains to reimbursable overtime charged for Sunday, holiday, or other overtime work performed in connection with the inspection, laboratory testing, certification, or quarantine of certain articles and to user fees for certain veterinary diagnostic services. The purpose of this notice is to remind the public of the reimbursable overtime charges and user fees for fiscal year 2005 (October 1, 2004, through September 30, 2005).
For information concerning reimbursable overtime charges related to Plant Protection and Quarantine program operations, contact Mr. Michael Caporaletti, Senior Program Analyst, Quarantine Policy Analysis and Support, PPQ, APHIS, 4700 River Road Unit 60, Riverdale, MD 20737-1231; (301) 734-5781.
For information concerning reimbursable overtime charges related to animal programs and Veterinary Services import and export program operations, contact Dr. Lee Ann Thomas, Director, National Center for Import and Export, VS, APHIS, 4700 River Road Unit 39, Riverdale, MD 20737-1231; (301) 734-3277.
In March 2003, the agricultural import and entry inspection activities that had been performed by employees of the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) were transferred to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The regulations cited in this notice have not yet been updated to reflect this change, so in the interests of consistency with those regulations this notice continues to refer to “APHIS employees” and services provided or work performed by APHIS employees. Readers should be aware, however, that DHS personnel are currently performing certain of the agricultural import and entry inspection activities discussed in this notice for which overtime charges or user fees are applicable.
In a final rule published in the Federal Register on July 25, 2002 (67 FR 48519-48525, Docket No. 00-087-2), and effective August 11, 2002, we established, for the fiscal years 2002 through 2006 and beyond, reimbursable overtime rates for Sunday, holiday, or other overtime work performed by APHIS employees for any person, firm, or corporation having ownership, custody, or control of animals, poultry, animal byproducts, germ plasm, organisms, vectors, plants, plant products, or other regulated commodities or articles subject to inspection, laboratory testing, certification, or quarantine. In this document we are providing notice to the public of the reimbursable overtime fees for fiscal year 2005 (October 1, 2004, through September 30, 2005).
