SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to Sec.  111.96 of title 19 of the 
Code of Federal Regulations (19 CFR 111.96(c)), U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection (CBP) assesses an annual user fee of $138 for each customs 
broker district and national permit held by an individual, partnership, 
association, or corporation. CBP regulations provide that this fee is 
payable for each calendar year in each broker district where the broker 
was issued a permit to do business by the due date which is published 
in the Federal Register annually. See 19 CFR 24.22(h) and (i)(9). 
Broker districts are defined in the General Notice entitled, 
``Geographical Boundaries of Customs Brokerage, Cartage and Lighterage 
Districts'' published in the Federal Register on September 27, 1995 (60 
FR 49971).
    As required by 19 CFR 111.96, CBP must provide notice in the 
Federal Register no later than 60 days before such due date on which 
the payment is due for each broker permit. This document notifies 
customs brokers that for calendar year 2015, the due date for payment 
of the user fee is February 27, 2015. It is anticipated that for 
subsequent years, the annual user fee for customs brokers will be due 
on the last business day of February of each year.
