Increases in Fees for Meat, Poultry, and Egg Products Inspection Services-Fiscal Year (FY) 2001

Riepilogo

The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is increasing the fees that it charges meat and poultry establishments, egg products plants, importers, and exporters for providing voluntary inspection services, overtime and holiday inspection services, identification services, certification services, and laboratory services. These increases in fees reflect the national and locality pay raise for Federal employees (proposed 3.7 percent effective January 2001) and inflation. The Agency will make the increases in fees effective October 8, 2000. At this time, FSIS is not proposing to amend the fee for the Accredited Laboratory Program.
