GIPSA Fees Jump 6.1%WASHINGTON - Jul 7/01 - STAT -- Official inspection and weighing services performed by the USDA Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration (GIPSA) will cost 6.1% more as of August 8. Acting administrator David R. Shipman said the increase covers cost-of-living increases and revenue declines due to decreased exports. The increase applies to contract and noncontract hourly rates, certain unit rates, and the administrative tonnage fee. Under the USGSA, GIPSA fees collected must cover, as nearly as practicable, the agency's costs for performing inspection and weighing services, including related administrative and supervisory costs.
