Abstract
We are amending the existing user fees for the inspection and approval of embryo collection centers. Existing user fees require embryo collection centers to pay user fees based on hourly rates for inspections and approval. We are replacing the hourly rates for this specific service with a flat rate annual user fee that will cover the cost of approval and all required inspections of the facility for that year. We are taking this action in order to make the collection of user fees simpler and to allow centers to better predict the costs of APHIS' inspection and approval.
