SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: List of U.S. Manufacturers of Specific CVM-Regulated
Products with Interest in Exporting Covered Products to China.
OMB Number: 0581-0339.
Expiration Date of Approval: March 31, 2024.
Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved information

Abstract: The Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946 (AMA) (7 U.S.C.
1621-1627) as amended directs and authorizes the U.S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA) to provide inspection, certification, and
verification services of the quality and condition of agricultural
products which facilitate the marketing of agricultural products. To
provide programs and services, section 203(h) of the AMA (7 U.S.C.
1622(h)) directs and authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture to
inspect, certify, and verify agricultural products under such rules and
regulations as the Secretary may prescribe, including assessment and
collection of fees for the cost of service. The regulation in 7 CFR
62--AMS Audit Verification and Accreditation Programs is a collection
of voluntary, audit-based, user-fee funded verification programs that
allow applicants to have program documentation and program processes
assessed by AMS auditor(s) and other USDA officials.
Because this is a voluntary program, respondents request or apply
for the specific service they wish, and in doing so, they provide
information. The information collected is used only by authorized
representatives of USDA (AMS, Livestock and Poultry Program's QAD
auditing staff) and is used to conduct services requested by
respondents. Information collected includes but is not limited to
facility name, address, and identifier, and product.
The information collection requirements in this request are
essential to carry out the intent of the AMA, to provide the
respondents the type of service they request, and to administer the
program.
Estimate of Burden: Public reporting burden for this collection of
information is estimated to average 0.083 hours per response.
Respondents: Manufacturing/processing facilities.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 85.
Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 3.
Estimated Total Annual Responses: 255.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 21.2 hours.
Comments are invited on: (1) whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
AMS, including whether the information will have practical utility; (2)
the accuracy of AMS' 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.
All responses to this notice will be summarized and included in the
request for OMB approval. All comments will become a matter of public
record, including any personal information provided.
Melissa Bailey,
Associate Administrator, Agricultural Marketing Service.
