Notwithstanding section 451 of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1451), the Secretary may, during the 10-year period beginning on the date of the enactment of this Act and upon the request of any person, enter into an agreement with that person under which— U.S. Customs and Border Protection will provide services described in paragraph
(2)at a land border port of entry; and that person will pay a fee imposed under subsection
(b)to reimburse U.S. Customs and Border Protection for the costs incurred in providing such services. Services described in this paragraph are any services related to customs and immigration matters provided by an employee or contractor of U.S. Customs and Border Protection at land border ports of entry. Nothing in this paragraph may be construed to reduce the responsibilities or duties of U.S. Customs and Border Protection to provide services at land border ports of entry that have been authorized or mandated by law and are funded in any appropriation Act or from any accounts in the Treasury of the United States derived by the collection of fees. The Secretary shall impose a fee on a person requesting the provision of services by U.S. Customs and Border Protection pursuant to an agreement entered into under subsection
(a)to reimburse U.S. Customs and Border Protection for the costs of providing such services, including— the salaries and expenses of the employees or contractors of U.S. Customs and Border Protection that provide such services and temporary placement or relocation costs for those employees or contractors; and any other costs incurred by U.S. Customs and Border Protection in providing services pursuant to agreements entered into under subsection (a). U.S. Customs and Border Protection shall terminate the provision of services pursuant to an agreement entered into under subsection
(a)with a person that, after receiving notice from the Secretary that a fee imposed under paragraph
(1)is due, fails to pay the fee in a timely manner. Notwithstanding section 3302 of title 31, United States Code, a fee collected under paragraph
(1)pursuant to an agreement entered into under subsection
(a)shall— be credited as an offsetting collection to the account that finances the salaries and expenses of U.S. Customs and Border Protection; be available for expenditure only to pay the costs of providing services pursuant to that agreement; and remain available until expended without fiscal year limitation.
