D26—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, October 9,1982
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S.
Department of Agriculture is
proposing to increase some and
lower other federal grain in
spection fees and will hold a public
meeting to discuss the changes, a
USDA officials said.
The proposed increases from 6
to 28 percent are for original
inspection, official weighing and
supervision of weighing services in
the United States and Canada. The
proposed decreases are for
supervision of truck inspections
and protein reinspection.
The public meeting is scheduled
for Oct. 13 from 9 to 11:30 a.m. in
Room 1072-S of USDA’s South
Building, Washington, D.C.
“Even though the Federal Gram
(Inspection Service has
significantly decreased ex
penditures this past year by more
than $l2 million, revenue still does
not adequately cover the current
or projected costs of providing
most of the services,” said Ken

USDA proposes
neth A. Gilles, administrator of
USDA’s Federal Grain Inspection
Service. “Basic fees under the U.S.
Grain Standards Act have not been
increased since December 1980. ’ ’
In the past year, the Federal
Gram Inspection Service has cut
its workforce from 1,452 to 1,013,
closed its five regional offices and
five field offices, reduced travel
costs and other discretionary
expenses, Gilles said.
“We plan further cost reductions
for fiscal year 1983, and we will
continue to monitor costs and
revenues to determine if fees are
at the minimum level necessary to
assure effective services,” he said.
Under the proposal:
—Fees for providing inspection
services under contract m the U.S.
during regular workdays would be
increased from $18.60 to $21.80 per
hour and from $22 to $25.20 per
hour for a non-regular mght,
weekend and holiday workday.
In Canada, the fees under contract

—Travel tune for U.S. service

sample basis for all reinspections
