WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S.
Department of Agriculture is
proposing to more nearly recover
costs by increasing fees about 30
percent for voluntary federal in
spection of processed grain
commodities, hay, hops, pulses
and straw. Pulses are beans,
lentils and peas.
USDA is also proposing to in
crease the average fee for 100
individual laboratory tests by
about 30 percent.
Kenneth A. Gilles, administrator
of USDA’s Federal Grain In
spection Service, said these in
spection and testing services are
not required by law, but are per
formed on request from the in
dustry.
He said the increase is necessary
to match the fees as nearly as
possible with costs of providing the
services, as required under the
Agricultural Marketing Act of
1946.
“Fees for providing these ser
vices were last increased in April,
1977,” said Gilles. “Since then we
have absorbed four salary in
creases totalling about 29 percent,
Plus other substantial cost m-
