New Prices for USGS Map Products

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) will implement a new price structure for map products on November 1, 1999. The USGS will raise the handling fee for all product orders to $5.00 per order. International orders will include a $20.00 shipping fee plus the $5.00 handling fee. All international orders exceeding 50 items will be charged actual shipping costs. The new price structure for the USGS published maps is described below. (1) The price for the USGS Primary Series topographic quadrangle maps (7.5 minute--1:24,000, 1:25,000, 1:20,000; 7.5 x 15 minute-- 1:25,000, 1:63,360 scales) will remain $4.00 per sheet. (2) The price for National Earthquake Information Center (NEIC) maps being a private sector copyright will be $10.00 per sheet. (3) The price for all other map titles and scales (including 1:100,000-scale series, 1:250,000-scale series and small scale topographic maps, as well as thematic maps) will be $7.00 per sheet. (4) Prices for maps published by other federal agencies and sold by the USGS may vary. Unlike the 1995 price change to $4.00 for all maps regardless of size or scale, the new price structure is designed to reflect the higher publishing and distribution costs for
