GIPSA Suspends Fee for Grain Shipments to Canada and Mexico

The Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration is suspending for another year the fee it charges for supervision of official inspection and weighing services of domestic grain and land carriers to Canada and Mexico performed by delegated states or designated agencies, it said (here). GIPSA said it is suspending the fee from July 1, 2017, through June 30, 2018, because its operating reserve continues to exceed the legal maximum of six months of reserve funding for supervision services by a large margin. The fee has been suspended since July 1, 2016 (see 1606270018).
