FSMA Fee Technical Corrections Act
This bill amends fee structures under the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) for food facilities and importers. It establishes a $15,000 base fee for 2026 and subsequent years (adjusted annually), provides a 1/3 fee reduction for qualifying small businesses (defined as facilities with <500 employees or importers meeting specific sales thresholds), and clarifies that fees fund facility oversight and the Voluntary Qualified Importer Program. The bill also increases funding caps for oversight activities and updates definitions to reduce ambiguity. It directly affects domestic/foreign food facilities, human/animal food importers, and small businesses meeting the defined criteria.
