User Fees

Recommendation 2023-8, User Fees – provides best practices for agencies and Congress to consider in designing and implementing user fees in administrative programs. It addresses how Congress and agencies might determine when user fees are appropriate; how agencies might determine fair and reasonable user fees for specific programs, including whether there are reasons for waivers, exemptions, or reduced rates; when and how agencies should engage with the public in determining or modifying user fees; and how agencies should review their user fee programs.
