DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
August 24, 2021.
The Department of Agriculture has submitted the following
information collection requirement(s) to OMB for review and clearance
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. Comments
are requested regarding: Whether the collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility; the
accuracy of the agency's estimate of burden including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used; ways to enhance the quality,
utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are
to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
Comments regarding this information collection received by
September 27, 2021 will be considered. Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed information collection should be
submitted within 30 days of the publication of this notice on the
following website <a href="http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a>. Find this
particular information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day
Review--Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information
unless the collection of information displays a currently valid OMB
control number and the agency informs potential persons who are to
respond to the collection of information that such persons are not
required to respond to the collection of information unless it displays
a currently valid OMB control number.
Foreign Agricultural Service
Title: Specialty Sugar Certificate Application.
OMB Control Number: 0551-0025.
Summary of Collection: The collect of information is necessary to
fulfill the legal obligations of the regulation at 15 CFR 2011 subpart
B to issue specialty sugar certificates, letters to importers signed by
the Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) Certifying Authority, and
ensuring that U.S. importers comply with the program's requirements.
The regulation sets forth the terms and conditions under which the
Certifying Authority in FAS issues certificates to importers allowing
them to enter specialty sugars under the tariff-rate quota (TRQ) for
refined sugar.
Need and Use of the Information: The collected information will be
used to: (1) Determine whether applicants for the program meet the
regulation's eligibility criteria; (2) ensure that sugar to be imported
is specialty sugar and meets the requirements of the regulation; (3)
audit participants' compliance with the regulation; and (4) prevent
entry of world-priced program sugar from entering the domestic
commercial market instead of domestic specialty sugar market. The
Certifying Authority needs the information to manage, plan, evaluate,
and account for program activities. Less frequent collection or no
collection would impede administration of the specialty sugar
certificate program and reduce or eliminate imports essential to U.S.
organic food and beverages processors.
Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
Number of Respondents: 45.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Annually.
Total Burden Hours: 90.

Departmental Information Collection Clearance Officer.
