SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946, as 
amended, (AMA)(7 U.S.C. 1621-1627), provides for the collection of fees 
to cover costs of various inspection, grading, certification or 
auditing services covering many agricultural commodities and products. 
The AMA also provides for the recovery of costs incurred in providing 
laboratory services. The Cotton Statistics and Estimates Act (7 U.S.C. 
471-476) and the U.S. Cotton Standards Act (7 U.S.C. 51-65) provide for 
classification of cotton and development of cotton standards materials 
necessary for cotton classification. The Cotton Futures Act (7 U.S.C. 
15b) provides for futures certification services and the Tobacco 
Inspection Act (7 U.S.C. 511-511s) provides for tobacco inspection and 
grading. These Acts also provide for the recovery of costs associated 
with these services.
    On November 13, 2014, The Department of Agriculture (Department) 
published in the Federal Register a final rule that established 
standardized formulas for calculating the fees charged by AMS user-
funded programs (79 FR 67313).
    This notice announces the fee rates for voluntary grading, 
inspection, certification, auditing and laboratory services for a 
variety of agricultural commodities including meat and poultry, fruits 
and vegetables, eggs, dairy products, and cotton and tobacco on a per-
hour rate and, in some instances, the equivalent per-unit cost. The 
per-unit cost is provided to facilitate understanding of the costs 
associated with the service to the industries that historically used 
unit-cost basis for payment. The fee rates will be effective at the 
beginning of the fiscal year, crop year, or as required by specific 
laws (June 1 for cotton programs).
    The rates reflect direct and indirect costs of providing services. 
Direct costs include the cost of salaries, employee benefits, and if 
applicable, travel and some operating costs. Indirect or overhead costs 
include the cost of Program and Agency activities supporting the 
services provided to the industry.
    These services include the grading, inspection or certification of 
quality factors in accordance with established U.S. Grade Standards; 
audits or accreditation according to International Organization for 
Standardization (ISO) standards and/or Hazard Analysis and Critical 
Control Point (HACCP) principles; and other marketing claims. The 
quality grades serve as a basis for market prices and reflect the value 
of agricultural commodities to both producers and consumers. AMS' 
grading and quality verification and certification, audit and 
accreditation, plant process and equipment verification, and laboratory 
approval services are voluntary tools paid by the users on a fee-for-
service basis. The agriculture industry can use these tools to promote 
and communicate the quality of agricultural commodities to consumers. 
Laboratory services are provided for analytic testing, including but 
not limited to chemical, microbiological, biomolecular, and physical 
analyses. AMS is required by statute to recover the costs associated 
with these services.
    As required by the Cotton Statistics and Estimates Act (7 U.S.C. 
471-476), consultations regarding the establishment of the fee for 
cotton classification with U.S. cotton industry representatives were 
held between January 2014 and the present. Representatives of all 
segments of the cotton industry, including producers, ginners, bale 
storage facility operators, merchants, cooperatives, and textile 
manufacturers were informed of the fees during various industry-
sponsored forums.

Rates Calculations

    AMS calculated the rate for services, per hour per program employee 
using the following formulas (a per-unit base is included for programs 
that charge services based on a per-unit base):
    (1) Regular rate. The total AMS grading, inspection, certification, 
classification, audit, or laboratory service program personnel direct 
pay divided by direct hours for the previous year, which is then 
multiplied by the next year's percentage of cost of living increase, 
plus the benefits rate, plus the operating rate, plus the allowance for 
bad debt rate. If applicable, travel expenses may also be added to the 
cost of providing the service.
    (2) Overtime rate. The total AMS grading, inspection, 
certification, classification, audit, or laboratory service program 
personnel direct pay divided by direct hours, which is then multiplied 
by the next year's percentage of cost of living increase and then 
multiplied by 1.5, plus the benefits rate, plus the operating rate, 
plus an allowance for bad debt. If applicable, travel expenses may also 
be added to the cost of providing the service.
    (3) Holiday rate. The total AMS grading, inspection, certification, 
classification, audit, or laboratory service program personnel direct 
pay divided by direct hours, which is then multiplied by the next 
year's percentage of cost of living increase and then multiplied by 2, 
plus benefits rate, plus the operating rate, plus an allowance for bad 
debt. If applicable, travel expenses may also be added to the cost of 
providing the service.
    All rates are per-hour except when a per-unit cost is noted. The 
specific amounts in each rate calculation are available upon request 
from the specific AMS program.
