Redefining Bona Fide Cotton Spot Markets
Document Number: 2023-16295
Type: Rule
Date: 2023-08-01
Agency: Agricultural Marketing Service, Department of Agriculture
This rule amends the regulation that defines two of the seven designated spot markets and changing the names of the affected markets. Specifically, market price data for cotton grown in Oklahoma and Kansas are reassigned from the East Texas/Oklahoma spot market to the West Texas spot market. This action also changes the names of these two markets to describe the markets more accurately.
Process for Establishing Rates for Veterinary Services User Fees
Document Number: 2023-16278
Type: Rule
Date: 2023-08-01
Agency: Department of Agriculture, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service
We are revising the regulations concerning user fees that we charge for veterinary diagnostic services and for certain import- related and export-related services for live animals, animal products and byproducts, birds, germplasm, organisms, and vectors. We are removing the tables providing the individual fees from the regulations and posting them on an Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service website. The regulations instead specify the methodology (formula) used to calculate the fees (including imputed costs), and the fees will be updated using a notice-based process. Replacing the current user fee listings with a standardized methodology will increase transparency in the process of setting fee rates, align the regulations with other Agency practices, and allow us to streamline processes and reduce the number of rules needed and thus the time necessary in order to update the fees.
