This is significant. A few things I have observed with rising fees at federal agencies: - There is seldom a corresponding rise in service levels. - Websites are still 15-20 years out of date - New fees tend to rise to suspiciously round numbers ("Late maintenance fee payment – $500 up from $160") which makes me wonder what criteria was used to determine the appropriate new fee.
