November 17, 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 December 22, 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.
Agricultural Research Service
Title: Information Collection for Document Delivery Services.
OMB Control Number: 0518-0027.
Summary of Collection: The National Agricultural Library (NAL)
accepts requests from libraries and other organizations in accordance
with the national and international interlibrary loan code and
guidelines. In its national role, NAL collects, and supplies copies or
loans of agricultural materials not found elsewhere. 7 U.S.C. 3125a and
7 CFR 505 gives NAL the authority to collect this information. NAL
provides photocopies and loans of materials directly to USDA staff,
other Federal agencies, libraries, and other institutions, and
indirectly to the public through their libraries. The Library charges
for some of these activities through a fee schedule. To fill a request
for reproduction or loan of items the library must have the name,
mailing address, phone number of the respondent initiating the request,
and may require an email address. The respondent must also provide a
brief statement acknowledging copyright compliance, required by Title
17 of the United States Code. The collected information is used to
deliver the material to the respondent, monitor the return to NAL of
loaned material, and identify and locate the requested material in NAL
collections.
Need and Use of the Information: The NAL document delivery staff
uses the information collected to identify the protocol for processing
the request. The staff also uses the information provided to process/
package the reproduction or loan for delivery. All collected
information is confidential and only used by staff that need to process
the request. Without the requested information NAL has no way to locate
and deliver the loan or reproduction to the respondent, and thus cannot
meet its mandate to supply agricultural material.
Description of Respondents: Federal Government; Not-for-profit
institutions; State, Local or Tribal Government; Business or other for-
profit.
Number of Respondents: 198.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion.
Total Burden Hours: 29.
Agricultural Research Service
Title: Web Forms for Research Data, Models, Materials, and
Publications as Well as Study and Event Registration.
OMB Control Number: 0518-0032.
Summary of Collection: OMB Circular 130 Management of Federal
Information Resources, establishes that ``agencies will use electronic
media and formats. . . in order to make government information more
easily accessible and useful to the public'' In order to provide
information and services related to its program responsibilities
defined at 7 CFR 2.65, the Agricultural Research Service (ARS) needs to
obtain certain basic information from the public. Online forms allow
the public to request from ARS research data, models, materials, and
publications as well as registration for scientific studies and events.
Need and Use of the Information: ARS will use the information to
respond to requests for specific services. The information will be
collected electronically. If this collection is not conducted, ARS will
be hindered from reducing the burden on its customers by providing them
the most timely and efficient way to request services.
Description of Respondents: Individuals or households.
Number of Respondents: 11,600.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion.
Total Burden Hours: 580.
