Title: Foreign Market Development Program and Market Access
Program.
OMB Number: 0551-0026.
Expiration Date of Approval: September 30, 2022.
Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved information

Abstract: The primary objective of the FMD and MAP programs is to
encourage and aid in the creation, maintenance, and expansion of
commercial export markets for U.S. agricultural products through cost-
share assistance to eligible trade organizations. The programs are a
cooperative effort between CCC and eligible trade organizations.
Currently, there are approximately 67 organizations participating

Prior to initiating program activities, each FMD or MAP participant
must submit a detailed application to FAS which includes an assessment
of overseas market potential; market or country strategies,

activities; estimated budgets; and performance measurements. Each FMD

reimbursement claims for approved costs incurred in carrying out
approved activities, (2) an end-of-year contribution report, (3) travel
reports, and (4) progress reports/evaluation studies. FMD or MAP
participants must maintain records on all information submitted to FAS.
The information collected is used by FAS to manage, plan, evaluate, and
account for government resources. The reports and records are required
to ensure the proper and judicious use of public funds.

information is currently estimated to average 21 hours per response.
