Inspection and Certification Fees and Charges

NMFS announces changes in its fees and charges for voluntary fishery products inspection, grading, and certification services. NMFS increased the basic fee for full-time in-plant inspection services by $1.95, making the hourly rate $46.35. The fees for NMFS laboratory services and inspection services conducted by the State of Alaska remain unchanged. It also includes a 3.6-percent base salary increase and varying locality pay increases effective January 1999. NMFS is continuing its separate fee structure for facilities with less than full-time contract services. This fee reflects increases in salary, general operating, and overhead costs that are charged by NMFS and NOAA.
