## Abstract

The Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration (GIPSA) is implementing, effective October 1, 1997, a 12.5-percent increase in the administrative service fee for official inspection and weighing services performed in the United States under the United States Grain Standards Act (USGSA), as amended. The fee adjustment is necessary to cover indirect field office and headquarters operational costs and to maintain a 3-month operational reserve. GIPSA is also deleting from the fee schedule the unit fees for submitted samples and factor only analysis performed online at an applicant's facility.
