On Dec. 31, 2015, FSIS published in the Federal Register a notice announcing the 2016 rates it will charge meat and poultry establishments, egg product plants, and importers and exporters for providing voluntary, overtime, and holiday inspection, identification, certification, and laboratory services. FSIS will apply the new rates beginning with the pay period that starts Feb. 7, 2016.

The following table lists the 2016 rates per hour, per employee, by type of service:
Service 2016 Rate (estimates rounded to reflect billable quarters)
Basetime $ 54.56
Overtime $ 69.20
Holiday $ 83.84
Laboratory $ 69.96

FSIS uses various factors, including changes in the cost of living, in calculating the rates it charges for these voluntary services. In April 2011, the Agency published a final rule that amended its regulations to establish formulas for calculating the annual rates that it would publish in the Federal Register before the start of the calendar year.
