The U.S. Department of Agriculture is amending the regulations governing the user fees charged for certain Agricultural Quarantine and Inspection (AQI) services. By publishing this final administrative rule APHIS is reducing the fees charged to remove surcharges intended to fund a reserve. This action ensures the regulations reflect an operational reduction of AQI fees that was announced through a November 1, 2022, Stakeholder Registry announcement, issued to comply with a September 15, 2022, judgment of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, and which took effect on December 1, 2022.
