Veterinary Diagnostic Services User Fees

We are revising user fees for veterinary diagnostic services to reflect changes in operating costs and changes in calculations. We are also adding user fees to cover the costs of additional veterinary diagnostic services. In addition, we are reorganizing these user fees to list user fees by type of service and location where the service is provided, and to group reagents into categories. We are also revising user fees for the use of animal import centers operated by the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service and adding user fees for new spaces. These actions are necessary to ensure that we recover our costs. The Food, Agriculture, Conservation, and Trade Act of 1990, as amended, authorizes us to set and collect these user fees.
