## Abstract

We are amending existing user fees for the inspection for approval of biosecurity level three laboratories. Existing user fees require biosecurity level three laboratories to pay user fees for inspection based on hourly rates. We are replacing the hourly rates for this specific service with a flat rate user fee that would cover all the costs of inspection related to approving a laboratory for handling one defined set of organisms or vectors. We are taking this action in order to ensure that the user fees cover our costs.
