SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On April 12, 2011, FSIS published a final rule amending its 
regulations to establish formulas for calculating the rates it charges 
meat and poultry establishments, egg products plants, and importers and 
exporters for providing voluntary, overtime, and holiday inspection and 
identification, certification, and laboratory services (76 FR 20220).
    In the final rule, FSIS stated that it would use the formulas to 
calculate the annual rates, publish the rates in Federal Register 
notices prior to the start of each calendar year. This notice provides 
the 2017 rates, which will be applied starting on February 5, 2017.

2017 Rates and Calculations

    The following table lists the 2017 Rates per hour, per employee, by 
type of service:

------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The regulations state that FSIS will calculate the rates using 
formulas that include the Office of Field Operations (OFO) inspection 
program personnel's previous fiscal year's regular direct pay and 
regular hours (9 CFR 391.2, 391.3, 391.4, 590.126, 590.128, 592.510, 
592.520, and 592.530). In 2013, an Agency reorganization eliminated the 
OIA program office and transferred all of its inspection program 
personnel to OFO. Therefore, inspection program personnel's pay and 
hours are identified in the calculations as ``OFO inspection program 
personnel's'' pay and hours.
    FSIS determined the 2017 rates using the following calculations:
    Basetime Rate = The quotient of dividing the Office of Field 
Operations (OFO) inspection program personnel's previous fiscal year's 
regular direct pay by the previous fiscal year's regular hours, plus 
the quotient multiplied by the calendar year's percentage of cost of 
living increase, plus the benefits rate, plus the travel and operating 
rate, plus the overhead rate, plus the allowance for bad debt rate.
    The calculation for the 2017 basetime rate per hour per program 
employee is:
    [FY 2016 OFO Regular Direct Pay divided by the previous fiscal 
year's Regular Hours ($474,751,934/16,702,093)] = $28.42 + ($28.42 * 
1.60% (calendar year 2017 Cost of Living Increase)) = $28.87 + 
$9.81(benefits rate) + $0.97 (travel and operating rate) + $16.19 
(overhead rate) + $0.02 (bad debt allowance rate) = $55.86 rounded down 
to 55.84 so that it is divisible by 4.
    Overtime Rate = The quotient of dividing the Office of Field 
Operations (OFO) inspection program personnel's previous fiscal year's 
regular direct pay by the previous fiscal year's regular hours, plus 
that quotient multiplied by the calendar year's percentage of cost of 
living increase, multiplied by 1.5 (for overtime), plus the benefits 
rate, plus the travel and operating rate, plus the overhead rate, plus 
the allowance for bad debt rate.
    The calculation for the 2017 overtime rate per hour per program 
employee is:
    [FY 2016 OFO Regular Direct Pay divided by previous fiscal year's 
Regular Hours ($474,751,934/16,702,093)]= $28.42 + ($28.42 * 1.60% 
(calendar year 2017 Cost of Living Increase)) =$28.87 * 1.5 = $43.31 + 
$9.81 (benefits rate) + $0.97 (travel and operating rate) + $16.19 
(overhead rate) + $.02 (bad debt allowance rate) = $70.30, rounded down 
to $70.28 so that it is divisible by 4.
    Holiday Rate = The quotient of dividing the Office of Field 
Operations (OFO) inspection program personnel's previous fiscal year's 
regular direct pay by the previous fiscal year's regular hours, plus 
that quotient multiplied by the calendar year's percentage of cost of 
living increase, multiplied by 2 (for holiday pay), plus the benefits 
rate, plus the travel and operating rate, plus the overhead rate, plus 
the allowance for bad debt rate.
    The calculation for the 2017 holiday rate per hour per program 
employee calculation is:
    [FY 2016 OFO Regular Direct Pay divided by Regular Hours 
($474,751,934/16,702,093)]= $28.42 + ($28.42 * 1.60% (calendar year 
2017 Cost of Living Increase)) = $28.87 * 2 = $57.74 + $9.81 (benefits 
rate) + $0.97 (travel and operating rate) + $16.19 (overhead rate) + 
$.02 (bad debt allowance rate) = $84.73, rounded down to $84.72 so that 
it is divisible by 4.
    Laboratory Services Rate = The quotient of dividing the Office of 
Public Health Science (OPHS) previous fiscal year's regular direct pay 
by the OPHS previous fiscal year's regular hours, plus the quotient 
multiplied by the calendar year's percentage cost of living increase, 
plus the benefits rate, plus the travel and operating rate, plus the 
overhead rate, plus the allowance for bad debt rate.
    The calculation for the 2017 laboratory services rate per hour per 
program employee is:
    [FY 2016 OPHS Regular Direct Pay/OPHS Regular hours ($24,143,108/
548,338)] = $44.03 + ($44.03 * 1.60% (calendar year 2017 Cost of Living 
Increase)) = $44.73 + $9.81 (benefits rate) + $0.97 (travel and 
operating rate) + $16.19 (overhead rate) + $.02 (bad debt allowance 
rate) = $71.72.

Calculations for the Benefits, Travel and Operating, Overhead, and 
Allowance for Bad Debt Rates

    These rates are components of the basetime, overtime, holiday, and 
laboratory services rates formulas.
    Benefits Rate: The quotient of dividing the previous fiscal year's 
direct benefits costs by the previous fiscal year's total hours 
(regular, overtime, and holiday), plus that quotient multiplied by the 
calendar year's percentage cost of living increase. Some examples of 
direct

[[Page 95557]]

benefits are health insurance, retirement, life insurance, and Thrift 
Savings Plan basic and matching contributions.
    The calculation for the 2017 benefits rate per hour per program 
employee is:
    [FY 2016 Direct Benefits/(Total Regular hours + Total Overtime 
hours + Total Holiday hours) ($190,215,190/19,693,587)] = $9.66 + 
($9.66* 1.60% (calendar year 2017 Cost of Living Increase) = $9.81.
    Travel and Operating Rate: The quotient of dividing the previous 
fiscal year's total direct travel and operating costs by the previous 
fiscal year's total hours (regular, overtime, and holiday), plus that 
quotient multiplied by the calendar year's percentage of inflation.
    The calculation for the 2017 travel and operating rate per hour per 
program employee is:
    [FY 2016 Total Direct Travel and Operating Costs/(Total Regular 
hours + Total Overtime hours + Total Holiday hours) ($18,819,123/
19,693,587)] = $0.96 + ($0.96 * 1.0% (2017 Inflation) = $0.97.
    Overhead Rate: The quotient of dividing the previous fiscal year's 
indirect costs plus the previous fiscal year's information technology 
(IT) costs in the Public Health Data Communication Infrastructure 
System Fund plus the previous fiscal year's Office of Management 
Program cost in the Reimbursable and Voluntary Funds plus the provision 
for the operating balance less any Greenbook costs (i.e., costs of USDA 
support services prorated to the service component for which fees are 
charged) that are not related to food inspection by the previous fiscal 
year's total hours (regular, overtime, and holiday) worked across all 
funds, plus the quotient multiplied by the calendar year's percentage 
of inflation.
    The calculation for the 2017 overhead rate per hour per program 
employee is:
    [FY 2016 Total Overhead/(Total Regular hours + Total Overtime hours 
+ Total Holiday hours)($ 315,614,079/19,693,587)] = $16.03 + ($16.03 * 
1.0% (2017 Inflation) = $16.19.
    Allowance for Bad Debt Rate = Previous fiscal year's total 
allowance for bad debt (for example, debt owed that is not paid in full 
by plants and establishments that declare bankruptcy) divided by 
previous fiscal year's total hours (regular, overtime, and holiday) 
worked.
    The 2017 calculation for bad debt rate per hour per program 
employee is:
    [FY 2016 Total Bad Debt/(Total Regular hours + Total Overtime hours 
+ Total Holiday hours) = ($342,710/19,693,587)] = $.02.
