BS Fees
MACO stands for something like Marketing Area Co Op. IMHO, both are shady fees used to pad profit. Very similar to those official sounding "Regulatory Cost Recovery Fees" on mobile phones. Imagine going to a restaurant and being told you need to pay a "10% sanitation fee" to cover the cost of local board of heath laws. These fees should be included as part of the cost of doing business.
