Sec. 33.6  Fees.

    (a) General. Fees provide for administrative costs and payment of 
claims. Fees are set annually on the basis of past and anticipated claim 
experience. The annual agreement year for which fees are payable starts 
on October 1 and ends on September 30 of the following year.
    (b) Amount and payment. The amount of each annual fee or adjusted 
fee will be established by the Office Director of the Office of Marine 
Conservation, Bureau of Oceans and International Environmental and 
Scientific Affairs, by publication of a notice in the Federal Register. 
Each notice will establish the amount of the fee, when the fee is due, 
when the fee is payable, and any special conditions surrounding 
extension of prior agreements or execution of new agreements. Unless 
otherwise specified in such notices, agreement coverage will commence 
with the postmarked date of the fee payment and application.
    (c) Adjustment and refund. Fees may be adjusted at any time to 
reflect actual seizure and detention experience for which claims are 
anticipated. Failure to submit adjusted fees will result in agreement 
termination as of the date the adjusted fee is payable. No fees will be 
refunded after an agreement is executed by the Secretary.
    (d) Disposition. All fees will be deposited in the Fishermen's 
Guaranty Fund. They will remain available without fiscal year limitation 
to carry out section 7 of the Act. Claims will be paid from fees and 
from appropriated funds, if any. Fees not required to pay administrative 
costs or claims may be invested in U.S. obligations. All earnings will 
be credited to the Fishermen's Guaranty Fund.
