Abstract: The Agricultural Marketing Act (AMA) of 1946 (7 U.S.C.
1621 et seq.) directs the United Stated Department of Agriculture
(USDA) to develop programs that provide for and facilitate the
marketing of agricultural products. One of these programs is the USDA
voluntary inspection and grading program for dairy products with
regulations contained in 7 CFR part 58. Regulations governing the
certification of sanitary design and fabrication of equipment used in
the slaughter, processing, and packaging of livestock and poultry
products are contained in 7 CFR part 54. To ensure a voluntary
inspection program performs satisfactorily, there must be written
requirements and rules for both Government and industry. The
information requested is used to identify products offered for grading;
to identify a request from a manufacturer of equipment used in dairy,
meat, or poultry industries for evaluation regarding sanitary design
and construction; to identify and contact the party responsible for
payment of the inspection, grading or equipment evaluation fee and
expense; and to identify applicants who wish to be authorized for the
display of official identification on product packaging, materials,
equipment, utensils, or on descriptive promotional materials.
Estimate of Burden: Public reporting burden for this collection of
information is estimated to average 0.170 hours per response.
Respondents: Dairy product manufacturers, consultants, installers,
dairy equipment fabricators, and meat and poultry processing equipment
fabricators.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 307.
Estimated Total Annual Responses: 11,389.
Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 37.22.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 1,027 hours.
Comments are invited on: (1) Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
the agency, including whether the information will have practical
utility; (2) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who
are to respond, including the use of appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms
of information technology.
All responses to this notice will be summarized and included in the
request for OMB approval. All comments will become a matter of public
record.
Erin Morris,
Associate Administrator, Agricultural Marketing Service.
