Title: Regional Agricultural Promotion Program.
OMB Number: 0551-0049.
Expiration Date of Approval: August 31, 2025.
Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved information
collection.
Abstract: Under the Regional Agricultural Promotion Program (RAPP),

foreign markets, including activities that address existing or

relation to the number and type of agreements entered into by such
respondents. The estimated average reporting burden for the RAPP is 16
hours per response.

organizations, nonprofit state regional trade groups, U.S. agricultural
cooperatives, and state agencies.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 70 per annum.
