Report to the Chairman,

Interstate Commerce Commission









Interstate Commerce Commission

Should Revise Its User Fee Program





The Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC)
is authorized by statute to assess fees for
special services it provides. However, ICC is
not recovering the full cost of these services
because it does not charge for all of them
and because current user fees, which be-
came effective in 1 972, are set at 50 percent
of the 1971 cost of providing the services.
ICC should charge for all services except
those which can be readily identified as pro-
viding public benefits; periodically review
and update fees to reflect changes in costs;
and adopt a full-cost recovery policy, except
in those instances where it can justify
charging less.

ICC said that it will review its user fee pro-
jram in accordance with GAO's recom-
mendations.
