Fees for Official Inspection and Weighing Services

The Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration (GIPSA) is proposing fee increases to generate the additional revenue required to recover the increased operational costs resulting from a projected approximate 3.6 percent January 1999 cost-of-living increase to Federal salaries for official inspection and weighing services performed in the United States under the United States Grain Standards Act (USGSA), as amended. An approximate 3.6 percent increase is being proposed for all hourly rates and certain unit rates on tests performed at both an applicant's facility and other than an applicant's facility. In addition, an average increase of 1.2 percent is being proposed to recover the salary and benefits portion of the administrative tonnage fee.
