Proposed Rules

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

Office of the Secretary

7 CFR Part 1

RIN 0560-AF55

Fee Schedule; Aerial Photographic Reproductions

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, USDA.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Agriculture proposes to revise the fees
charged for some aerial photographic reproductions in order to reflect
changes in the costs for some reproductions and to discontinue some
reproductions due to low demand. However, these revisions do not affect
accessibility under the Freedom of Information Act.

DATES: Comments must be submitted by November 6, 1998 to assure
consideration.

ADDRESSES: Submit written comments to Linda McDonald, United States
Department of Agriculture, Farm Service Agency, Aerial Photography
Field Office, 2222 West 2300 South, Salt Lake City, Utah 84119-2020.
All comments received will be available for public inspection at the
above address during regular business hours.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Linda McDonald, United States
Department of Agriculture, Farm Service Agency, Aerial Photography
Field Office, 2222 West 2300 South, Salt Lake City, Utah 84119-2020;
telephone (801) 975-3500, Ext. 235.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Executive Order 12866

This proposed rule is an administrative action not subject to
Executive Order 12866 and, therefore, has not been reviewed by the
Office of Management and Budget.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

USDA certifies that this proposed rule will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.).

Executive Order 12988

The proposed rule has been reviewed in accordance with Executive
order 12988, Civil Justice Reform.
The provisions of this rule are not retroactive and preempt State
laws to the extent such laws are inconsistent with the provisions of
this rule and does not require administrative proceedings before
parties may file in court challenging this rule.

Paperwork Reduction Act

The authority of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA)
FSA Aerial Photography Field Office to coordinate aerial photography
and remote sensing programs and for aerial photography is Section 387
of the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938 (7 U.S.C. 1387).
Reproductions of photographs are available at cost to any customer.
All receipts from the sale of aerial photography reproductions and
services are deposited and sent to the U.S. Treasury.

Background

A pricing study of all products and services provided by the Aerial
Photography Field Office was conducted. The study determined that due
to increased costs of photographic reproduction, it would be necessary
to increase fees charged for some reproductions. Fees would be reduced
or left unchanged for some reproductions. Some reproductions would be
discontinued, due to the small number of reproductions ordered.
Accordingly, USDA proposes to revise the fees charged for some
reproductions, to discontinue others and to make minor administrative
changes regarding Agency names and other clarifications to amend the
appendix to part 1, subpart A.
