Agriculture Department, Agricultural Marketing Service
The Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS), Federal Grain Inspection Service (FGIS or Service) proposes to amend its user fee regulations to establish standardized formulas the agency would use to calculate hourly and unit fees. The proposed changes would allow FGIS to charge reasonable fees sufficient to cover the costs of providing official services and re-establish a 3-to 6-month operating reserve, as required by the United States Grain Standards Act (USGSA). This proposed rulemaking would also make specified conforming changes and minor technical changes to the regulations to correct two typographical errors.
