## Abstract

The Federal Grain Inspection Service (FGIS) of the Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration (GIPSA) is increasing by approximately 3 percent fees it charges for certain of its official inspection and weighing services performed in the United States under the United States Grain Standards Act (USGSA), as amended. The increase covers hourly rates and certain unit rates on tests performed at other than an applicant's facility. The increase is designed to generate additional revenue required to recover operational costs created by mandated cost-of-living increases to Federal salaries in fiscal year 1997.
