Agricultural Marketing Service
Title: United States Warehouse Act (USWA).
OMB Control Number: 0581-0305.
Summary of Collection: 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.
Need and Use of the Information: 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.
Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit. Farms.
Number of Respondents: 3,000.

Agricultural Marketing Service
Title: <a href="http://FarmerFairness.gov">FarmerFairness.gov</a> USDA/DOJ Complaint Web Portal.
OMB Control Number: 0581-0333.
Summary of Collection: The P&S Act and the regulations issued under
the P&S Act authorize the collection of information for the purpose of
enforcing the P&S Act and regulations and for conducting studies
requested by Congress. The laws and regulations relating to competition
in the meat and poultry industries confer separate and overlapping
jurisdiction to the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S.
Department of Justice. Farmers, ranchers, and other interested persons
may not be aware of this and may not know to whom or how to file a
complaint or tip if they suspect a violation of those laws or
regulations. This joint complaint portal allows those farmers, ranchers
and interested persons to go to one website to submit information and
USDA and DOJ will determine the appropriate jurisdiction and any follow
up actions.
Need and Use of the Information: This information collection is
necessary for PSD and DOJ to monitor and examine complaints regarding
financial, competitive, and trade practices in the livestock, meat
packing and poultry industries.
Description of Respondents: State, Local, and Tribal Governments.
Number of Respondents: 110.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Annually.
