Veterinary Diagnostic Services User 

Fees 

User fees to reimburse APHIS for the 

costs of providing veterinary diagnostic 

services are also contained in 9 CFR part 

130. These user fees are authorized by 

section 2509(c) of the Food, Agriculture, 

Conservation, and Trade Act of 1990, as 

amended (21 U.S.C. 136a), which 

provides that the Secretary of 

Agriculture may, among other things, 

prescribe regulations and collect fees to 

recover the costs of veterinary 

diagnostics relating to the control and 

eradication of communicable diseases of 

livestock and poultry within the United 

States. 

In a final rule published in the 

Federal Register on December 19, 2007 

(72 FR 71744–71750, Docket No. 

APHIS–2006–0161), and effective 

January 18, 2008, we established, for 

fiscal years 2008 through 2012 and 

beyond, user fees for certain veterinary 

diagnostic services, including certain 

diagnostic tests, reagents, and other 

veterinary diagnostic materials and 

services. Veterinary diagnostics is the 

work performed in a laboratory to 

determine whether a disease-causing 

organism or chemical agent is present in 

body tissues or cells and, if so, to 

identify those organisms or agents. 

Services in this category include: (1) 

Performing identification, serology, and 

pathobiology tests and providing 

diagnostic reagents and other veterinary 

diagnostic materials and services for the 

National Veterinary Services 

Laboratories (NVSL) in Ames, IA; and 

(2) performing laboratory tests and 

providing reagents and other veterinary 

diagnostic materials and services at the 

NVSL Foreign Animal Disease 

Diagnostic Laboratory (NVSL FADDL) in 

Greenport, NY. 

The veterinary diagnostic services 

user fees are found in §§ 130.12 through 

130.19 and cover the following: 

• Virology identification tests 

performed at NVSL (excluding FADDL) 

or other authorized sites; 

• Bacteriology serology tests 

performed at NVSL (excluding FADDL) 

or other authorized sites; 

• Virology serology tests performed at 

NVSL (excluding FADDL) or other 

authorized sites; 

• Veterinary diagnostic tests 

performed at the Pathobiology 

Laboratory at NVSL (excluding FADDL) 

or other authorized sites; 

• Bacteriology reagents produced by 

the Diagnostic Bacteriology Laboratory 

at NVSL (excluding FADDL) or other 

authorized sites; 

• Virology reagents produced by the 

Diagnostic Virology Laboratory at NVSL 

(excluding FADDL) or other authorized 

sites; and, 

• Other veterinary diagnostic services 

or materials available from NVSL 

(excluding FADDL). 

On October 1, 2009, the veterinary 

diagnostic services user fees for fiscal 

year 2010 will take effect. You may view
