OMB Control Number: 0581-0056.
Summary of Collection: The Fair and Equitable Tobacco Reform Act of
2004 (7 U.S.C. 518) eliminated price supports and marketing quotas for
all tobacco beginning with the 2005 crop year. Mandatory inspection and
grading of domestic and imported tobacco were eliminated as well as the
mandatory pesticide testing of imported tobacco and the tobacco Market
News Program. The Tobacco Inspection Act (7 U.S.C. 511) requires that
all tobacco sold at designated auction markets in the U.S. be inspected
and graded. Provision is also made for interested parties to request
inspection, pesticide testing and grading services on an ``as needed''
basis. The Act also provides for the establishment and maintenance of
tobacco standards for U.S. grown types and the collection and
dissemination of market news which are funded by appropriated money.
Need and Use of the Information: Information is collected through
various forms and other documents for the inspection and certification
process. Upon receiving request information from tobacco dealers and/or
manufacturers, tobacco inspectors will pull samples and apply U.S.
Standard Grades to tobacco samples providing the customer a Tobacco
Inspection Certificate (TB-92). Also, samples can be submitted to a
USDA laboratory for pesticide testing and a detailed analysis is
provided to the customer.
