Title: ●Changes in Fees for Meat, Poultry, and Egg Products Inspection Services 
Abstract: The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is proposing to amend its regulations to establish formulas for calculating the fees that it charges meat and poultry establishments, egg products plants, importers, and exporters for providing voluntary inspection, identification and certification services, overtime and holiday inspection services, and laboratory services. If the rule becomes effective, FSIS will calculate these fees based on the formulas. For future fiscal years, FSIS will calculate the fees on an annual basis and apply them at the start of the fiscal year. The Agency is also proposing to increase the codified flat annual fee for its Accredited Laboratory Program.
