     CHAPTER 72--UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR VETERANS CLAIMS
 
                        SUBCHAPTER II--PROCEDURE
 
Sec. 7262. Fee for filing appeals

    (a) The Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims may impose a fee of not 
more than $50 for the filing of any appeal with the Court. The Court 
shall establish procedures under which such a fee may be waived in the 
case of an appeal filed by or on behalf of a person who demonstrates 
that the requirement that such fee be paid will impose a hardship on 
that person. A decision as to such a waiver is final and may not be 
reviewed in any other court.
    (b) The Court may from time to time adjust the maximum amount 
permitted for a fee imposed under subsection (a) of this section based 
upon inflation and similar fees charged by other courts established 
under Article I of the Constitution.
