## Abstract

The Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration (GIPSA) is implementing an approximate 3.7 percent increase in fees for all hourly rates and certain unit rates for inspection services performed under the Agricultural Marketing Act (AMA) of 1946 in the commodity and rice inspection programs. These increases are needed to cover increased operational costs resulting from the mandated January 2001 Federal pay increase. This final rule reflects a change made to the Rice program's contract hourly rate from the rate that appeared in the proposed rule.
