透明度与问责制允许海港通关手续费用于设备和设施升级,而不仅限于人员薪资,并禁止海关及边境保护局(CBP)要求港口免费提供办公场所。
透明度与问责制
- CBP费用使用年度报告 — 局长须每年向国会报告费用收入及资本支出情况
详细内容
美国海关与边境保护局对每次通过海港入境的进口商品向进口商收取费用,这些费用称为「商品处理费」。目前这些费用只能用于支付机构薪资和日常开支。《海关与边境保护局空间法》扩展了这些费用的允许用途,使其也可用于资本支出,例如海港检查设施的设备升级及建设或维护。法案还禁止CBP要求海港自费为机构工作人员提供办公室、培训或休闲空间。自法律颁布180天后,CBP须每年向国会报告收取的费用总额、用于海港设施的金额及剩余资本需求。
国会摘要
CBP SPACE Act This bill expands the authorities for adjusting the rate for merchandise processing fees and the requirements for using certain customs user fees. It also prohibits U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) from requiring sea ports of entry to provide or maintain certain facilities for CBP inspection services. Specifically, the bill authorizes the Department of the Treasury to adjust the ad valorem rate for merchandise processing and the related limits on the amount of the fees to offset CBP's capital costs for processing entries and releases of merchandise. (Currently, Treasury may only adjust the rate and limits to offset CBP's related salaries and expenses.) The bill also requires Treasury to use certain customs user fees to reimburse CBP for paying capital costs associated with passenger inspection services. Additionally, the bill (1) prohibits CBP from requesting or requiring a sea port of entry to provide or maintain administrative, training, or recreational facilities at the port for purposes of facilitating CBP's inspection services; and (2) requires CBP to submit an annual report to appropriate congressional committees on the amount and use of proceeds from merchandise processing fees.
