SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Independent Offices Appropriations Act
of 1952 (IOAA), codified at 31 U.S.C. 9701, authorizes Federal agencies
to establish fees for a service or thing of value provided by the
agency to members of the public. Office of Management and Budget
Circular A-25 allows agencies to impose user fees for services that
confer a special benefit to identifiable recipients beyond those
accruing to the general public. Pursuant to 31 CFR 223.22, Treasury
imposes fees on surety companies and reinsuring companies seeking to
obtain or renew certification or recognition from Treasury. The fees
imposed and collected cover the costs incurred by the Government for
services performed reviewing, analyzing, and evaluating the companies'
applications, financial statements, and other information. Treasury
determines the amount of fees in accordance with the IOAA and the
Office of Management and Budget Circular A-25, as amended. The change
in fees is the result of a thorough analysis of costs associated with
the corporate federal surety bond program.
The new fee rate schedule is as follows:
(1) Examination of a company's application for a Certificate of
Authority as an acceptable surety or as an acceptable reinsuring
company on Federal bonds: $11,300.
(2) Determination of a company's continued qualification for annual
renewal of its Certificate of Authority: $ 7,000.
(3) Examination of a company's application for recognition as an
Admitted Reinsurer: $4,100.
(4) Determination of a company's continued qualification for annual
renewal of its authority as an Admitted Reinsurer: $2,900.
Questions concerning this notice should be directed to the Surety
Bond Branch, Special Assets and Liabilities Division, Bureau of the
Fiscal Service, Surety Bonds (A-1G), 257 Bosley Industrial Drive,
Parkersburg, WV 26106, Telephone (304) 480-6635.
Timothy E. Gribben,
Commissioner, Bureau of the Fiscal Service.
