Subject | REMINDER: Pork Belly Grading Fee Change
Notice Date | 2006-10-17
Notice Number | 06-257
Effective Date | 2006-11-01
As you were previously informed on January 3, 2006 in Clearing House Advisory 06-01, the grading fee for the 2007 Pork Belly crop year will increase to $300 per grading. Grading for the 2007 Pork Belly season begins on Wednesday, November 1, 2006. The $300 represents a flat fee that will apply to both in-plant and warehouse grading inspections. It will continue to be paid by the party requesting the grading. Increasing the inspection fee is necessary to attain a neutral pass-through of the fee charged to the Exchange by the USDA. If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact Steve Staszak, Director Operations, Clearing House Department, at 312-930-3189; or Ken Lovett, Associate Director Market Surveillance, Market Regulation Department, at 312-930-3257.
