The Department of Agriculture has submitted the following

information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
the agency, including whether the information will have practical
utility; the accuracy of the agency's estimate of burden including the
validity of the methodology and assumptions used; ways to enhance the

who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques
and other forms of information technology.
Comments regarding this information collection received by April

the proposed information collection should be submitted within 30 days
of the publication of this notice on the following website
<a href="http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a>. Find this particular information
collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--Open for

Agricultural Marketing Service
Title: Tart Cherries Grown in the States of MI, NY, PA, OR, UT, WA,
and WI.
OMB Control Number: 0581-0177.
Summary of Collection: Marketing Order No. 930 (7 CFR part 930)
regulates the handling of tart cherries grown in Michigan, New York,
Pennsylvania, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Wisconsin. The Agricultural
Marketing Agreement Act of 1937 authorizes the promulgation and
amendment of marketing orders for certain agricultural commodities and
the issuance of regulations thereof for the purpose of providing
orderly marketing conditions in interstate and intrastate commerce and
for improving returns to producers. The primary objective of the Order
is to stabilize the supply of tart cherries. Only tart cherries that
will be canned or frozen will be regulated. The Order is administered
by an 18-member Board comprised of producers, handlers and one public
member, plus alternates for each. The members will serve for a three-
year term of office.
Need and Use of the Information: Various forms were developed by
the Board for persons to file required information relating to tart
cherry inventories, shipments, diversions and other needed information
to effectively carry out the requirements of the Order. The information
collected is used to ensure compliance, verify eligibility, and vote on
amendments, monitor and record grower's information. Authorized Board
employees and the industry are the primary users of the information. If
information were not collected, it would eliminate needed data to keep
the industry and the Secretary abreast of changes at the State and
local level.
Description of Respondents: Business or other for profit; not-for-
profit institutions.
Number of Respondents: 640.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Annually; Quarterly; On
occasion.
Total Burden Hours: 741.
Agricultural Marketing Service
Title: AMS Grant Programs.
OMB Control Number: 0581-0240.
Summary of Collection: In 2016, OMB approved 0581-0240 which
combined five grant programs (1) the Federal-State Marketing
Improvement Program (FSMIP), (2) the Farmers Market, (3) the Local Food
Promotion Program (FMLFPP), (4) the Specialty Crop Multi-State Program
(SCMP), and (5) the Specialty Crop Block Grant Program (SCBGP) into a
single collection package entitled AMS Grant Programs. This renewal
request is to extend AMS' current approval to collect information for
these five grant programs and to add four additional grant programs to
this collection. The four new grant programs are the Dairy Business
Innovation (DBI) Initiatives, Regional Food System Partnerships (RFSP),
the Sheep Production and Marketing Grant Program (SPMGP), and the Acer
Access and Development Program (Acer).
All the grant programs are authorized pursuant to the Agricultural
Marketing Act (AMA) of 1946 (7 U.S.C. 1621, et seq.) and the Farmer-to-
Consumer Direct Marketing Act of 1976 (7 U.S.C. 3001) are implemented
through the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and
Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Super Circular) (2 CFR 200).
Need and Use of the Information: The information collected is
needed to certify that grant participants are complying with applicable
program regulations, and the data collected are the minimum information
necessary to effectively carry out the requirements of the program. 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 for AMS to administer these programs. The
purpose of AMS Grant Programs is to provide grants to eligible
entities. Without the required information, AMS will not be able to
review, award, reimburse, or monitor grants to eligible applicants.
Description of Respondents: State, local or Tribal government.
Number of Respondents: 5,367.
Frequency of Responses: Recordkeeping; Reporting: Annually; Semi-
annually.
Total Burden Hours: 24,469.
