Agricultural Marketing Service
Title: Regulations Governing the Inspection and Grading of
Manufactured or Processed Dairy Products--Recordkeeping (Subpart B).
OMB Control Number: 0581-0110.
Summary of Collection: The Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946 (7
U.S.C. 1621 et seq.) directs the Department to develop programs that
will provide for and facilitate the marketing of agricultural products.
One of these programs is the USDA voluntary inspection and grading
program for dairy products (7 CFR part 58) where dairy products are
graded according to U.S. grade standards by a USDA grader. Dairy
processors, buyers, retailers, institutional users, and consumers have
requested that such a program be developed to assure the uniform
quality of dairy products purchased. In order for any service program
to perform satisfactorily, there must be written guides and rules,
which in this case are regulations for the provider and user. For the
above reasons, these regulations were developed and issued under the
authority of the Act. These regulations are essential to administer the
program needed by the user and to carry out the purposes of the Act.
Need and use of the Information: The Agricultural Marketing Service
will collect information to ensure that the dairy inspection program
products are produced under sanitary conditions and buyers are
purchasing a quality product. The information collected through
recordkeeping are routinely reviewed and evaluated during the
inspection of the dairy plant facilities for USDA approval. Without
laboratory testing results required by recordkeeping, the inspectors
would not be able to evaluate the quality of dairy products.
Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profits.
Number of Respondents: 362.
Frequency of responses: Recordkeeping; Annually.
Total Burden Hours: 962.

Departmental Information Collection Clearance Officer.
