## Abstract

The Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration (GIPSA) is increasing fees by approximately 4.8 percent for all hourly rates and certain unit rates. The fees apply to federal rice inspection performed under the Agricultural Marketing Act (AMA) of 1946. These increases are needed to cover increased operational costs resulting from the mandated January 2000 Federal pay increase.
