Abstract
The Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) is adopting, as a final rule, with changes, an interim final rule revising the regulations governing permissive inspection of tobacco that special tests and services be provided by AMS, as requested by the industry. This action incorporates recommendations made by the Burley Tobacco Advisory Committee and the buying segment of the tobacco industry that moisture testing be performed by AMS on all burley tobacco marketed during the 1999-2000 marketing season. The revisions will continue to provide regulatory authority to conduct moisture testing and collect fees and charges for these services.
