Title: ●Changes in Fees for Meat, Poultry, and Egg Products Inspection Service
Abstract: The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is proposing to change 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. The Agency is proposing to raise the fees for voluntary base time and holiday and overtime inspection services. These increases in fees reflect, among other factors, the national and locality pay raise for Federal employees (proposed 4.1 percent increase effective January 2003) and inflation. FSIS is also proposing to decrease the fee for laboratory services because of greater efficiencies realized. The Agency is also proposing to decrease the annual fee for the Accredited Laboratory Program from $1,500.00 to $1,000.00.
