Specifically, GAO examined how the four key design and implementation characteristics of user fees -- how fees are set, collected, used, and reviewed -- may affect the economic efficiency, equity, revenue adequacy, and administrative burden of cost-based fees. GAO reviewed economic and policy literature on federal and nonfederal user fees, including prior GAO work, and used relevant case examples to illustrate different types of design elements and the impacts they may have.Federal user fees User chargesGovernment policyUnited StatesUser chargesGovernment policyEJBEJBGPOBOOK9910696731103321Federal user fees3437468UNINA
