## Abstract

The Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) is increasing the hourly fee rate charged for voluntary Federal seed testing and certification services and establishing a fee for issuing preliminary test reports. The fee rate is increased to cover increases in salaries of Federal employees, rent, supplies, replacement equipment, and other increased Agency costs. A new fee is established to recover the cost of providing preliminary test reports.
