SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: United States Warehouse Act (USWA).
OMB Number: 0581-0305.
Expiration Date of Approval: October 31, 2021.
Type of Request: Reinstatement with Revision of previously approved
information collection.
Abstract: AMS is responsible, as required by the USWA, 7 U.S.C. 869
et seq., to license public warehouse operators that are in the business
of storing agricultural products, to examine such federally licensed
warehouses and to license qualified persons to sample, inspect, weigh,
and classify agricultural products. AMS licenses under the USWA cover
approximately half of all commercial grain and cotton warehouse
capacities in the United States. The regulations that implement the
USWA govern the establishment and maintenance of systems under which
documents, including documents of title on shipment, payment, and
financing, may be issued, or transferred for agricultural products.
Some of these systems and documents issued may be electronic. The
regulations are found at 7 CFR 869 et seq.
This information collection allows AMS to effectively administer
the regulations, licensing, and electronic provider agreements and
related reporting and recordkeeping requirements as specified in the
USWA.
The forms in this information collection are used to provide those
charged with issuing licenses under the USWA a basis to determine
whether the warehouse and the warehouse operator meet application
requirements to receive a license, and to determine compliance once the
license is issued.
For the following estimated total annual burden on respondents, the
formula used to calculate the total burden hours is the estimated
average time per response multiplied by the estimated total annual
responses.
Estimate of Burden: Public reporting burden for this collection of
information is estimated to average 0.46 hours per response, including
the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources,
gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing
the collections of information.
Respondents: Warehouse operators and electronic providers
participating in the USWA program.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 3,000.
Estimated Total Annual Responses: 19,011.
Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 6.337.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 40,587 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. Comments may be sent to Dan Schofer at the
previously mentioned address in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section. All comments received will be posted without change, including
any personal information provided, at <a href="http://www.regulations.gov">www.regulations.gov</a> and will be
included in the record and made available to the public. Furthermore, a
summary of all comments received will be included in the request for
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval.

Associate Administrator, Agricultural Marketing Service.
