Seafood Inspection Program

B1: These receipts are collected by NOAA in accordance with Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946, 7 U.S.C § 1622 creating the Seafood Inspection Program to provide inspection services to the seafood industry for fish, shellfish, and fishery products on a fee-for-service basis which ensures compliance with all applicable food regulations.

A1: Apportioned amounts for any additional recoveries of prior year unpaid obligations received may be increased by up to 10 percent without any further action by OMB. [Rationale: Footnote signifies that this TAFS has received or may receive an automatic apportionment.]

A2: The amount on line 1823 (SEQ) is the required sequester amount in dollars assuming that the program requires offsetting collections equal to the amount listed on line 1840. Due to the indefinite nature of account, the sequester amount in dollars may not be equal to the sequester amount in dollars reflected in the OMB Report to Congress on the Joint Committee Reductions for Fiscal Year 2025. During the remainder of the fiscal year, if the spending authority from offsetting collections is different from the amount listed on line 1840, the amount in dollars currently reflected on line 1823 is hereby automatically apportioned as follows: The agency will achieve the reduction by applying a 5.7% reduction to collections in this account from the beginning of the fiscal year. [Rationale: Footnote signifies that this TAFS has received or may receive an automatic apportionment.]
