Title: Regulations Governing the Voluntary Grading of Shell Eggs,
Poultry Products, and Rabbit Products--7 CFR parts 54, 56, 62 and 70.

Summary of Collection: The Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946 (60
Stat. 1087-1091, as amended; 7 U.S.C. 1621-1627) hereinafter referred
to as the ``Act,'' authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture to provide
consumers with voluntary Federal grading and certification services
that facilitate the marketing of agricultural commodities. The Quality
Assessment Division (QAD) provides these services under the authority
of 7 CFR parts 54, 56, and 70. The regulations provide a voluntary
program for grading and certification services based on U.S. standards,
grades, and weight classes to enable orderly marketing of the
corresponding agricultural products. The regulation in 7 CFR part 62--
AMS Audit Verification and Accreditation Programs (AVAAP) is a
collection of voluntary, audit-based, user-fee funded programs that
allow applicants to have program documentation and program processes
assessed by Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) auditor(s) and other
USDA officials. Services are made available to respondents who request
it and provided on a user fee-for-service basis. The Regulations
provide provisions for the collection of fees from users of QAD
services. To facilitate QAD services, a minimal amount of information
collection and/or documentation is required using Forms LP-109, LP-110,
LP-157, LP-210P, LP-210S, LP-234, LP-240P, and LP-240S. Information on
these forms is collected only from respondents who elect to utilize QAD
voluntary user fee-for-service.

157, LPS-240P, LPS-240S, LPS-210P, LPS-210S and LPS-234, information is
collected only from respondents who elect to utilize this voluntary
user fee-for-service. Only authorized representatives of the USDA use
the information collected. The information is used to administer,
conduct and carry out the grading services requested by the
respondents. If the information were not collected, the agency would
not be able to provide the voluntary grading services authorized and
requested by congress, provide the types of services requested by
industry, administer the program, ensure properly grade-labeled
products, calculate the cost of the service or collect for the cost
furnishing service.
