Title: Export Inspection and Weighing Waiver for High Quality
Specialty Grains Transported in Containers Under the Authority of the
United States Grain Standards Act.
OMB Control Number: 0581-0306.
Summary of Collection: The United States Grain Standards Act
(USGSA), with few exceptions, requires official certification of export
grain sold by grade. The regulations promulgating the USGSA require
specific information collection and record-keeping necessary to enforce
provisions in the statue. On July 29, 2011, Federal Grain Inspection
Service (FGIS) published a final rule in the Federal Register (76 FR
45397) to amend the regulations under the USGSA to make permanent a
waiver that expired on July 31, 2012 for high quality specialty grains
exported in containers from the mandatory inspection and weighing
requirements of the USGSA. To ensure that exporters of high-quality
specialty grains comply with this waiver, FGIS is asking exporters to
maintain records generated during their normal course of business that
pertain to these shipments and make these documents available to the
FGIS upon request. FGIS has no other means available to monitor the
grain industry's compliance with provisions of this waiver.
Need and Use of the Information: To comply with the waiver of the
mandatory inspection and weighing requirement, FGIS is asking exporters
of high quality specialty grains transported in containers to maintain
records generated during their normal course of business that pertain
to these shipments and make these documents available to FGIS upon
request. Experience has shown that the U.S. grain industry maintains
grain contracts that specify quality parameters agreed to by buyers and
sellers of grain. FGIS believes that grain contracts would provide
sufficient information to determine if exporters of high-quality
specialty grain are complying with the waiver. This information
collection requirement is essential for FGIS to enforce provisions set
forth in the USGSA. FGIS intends to request copies of the relevant
documents annually to ensure compliance with this waiver. FGIS also
will require exporters to maintain records for a 3-year period.
Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
Number of Respondents: 40.
Frequency of Responses: Recordkeeping.
Total Burden Hours: 240.
