## Abstract

The Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) is increasing current fees for laboratory testing services for agricultural commodities. Without the fee increase, anticipated revenue would not cover program costs. This rule includes additional tests for various commodity products and removes test time allotments. Time allotments serve no useful purpose since they no longer represent test times accurately because of the development of numerous new analytical procedures.
