Title: Seed Service Testing Program.
OMB Control Number: 0581–0140.
Summary of Collection: The
Agricultural Marketing Act (AMA) of
1946, as amended by 7 U.S.C. 1621
authorizes the Secretary to inspect and
certify the quality of agricultural
products and collect such fees as
reasonable to cover the cost of service
rendered. The purpose of the voluntary
program is to promote efficient, orderly
marketing of seeds and assist in the
development of new and expanding
markets. Under the program, samples of
agricultural and vegetable seeds
submitted to the Agricultural Marketing
Service (AMS) are tested for factors such
as purity and germination at the request
of the applicant for the service. The
Testing Section of the Seed Regulatory
and Testing Branch of AMS that test the
seed and issues the certificates is the
only Federal seed testing facility that
can issue the Federal Seed Analysis
Certificate.
Need and Use of the Information:
Applicants generally are seed firms who
use the seed analysis certificates to
represent the quality of seed lots to
foreign customers according to the terms
specified in contracts of trade. The only
information collected is information
needed to provide the service requested
by the applicant. Applicants must
provide information such as the kind
and quantity of seed, tests to be
performed, and seed treatment if
present, along with a sample of seed in
order for AMS to provide the service. A
Seed Analysis Certificate-Sample
Inspection LS–375 or ISTA Orange
International Seed Lot Certificate is
issued by AMS giving the test results.
Only authorized AMS employees will
use the information collected to track,
test, and report test results to the
applicant. If the information were not
collected, AMS would not know which
test to conduct or would not be able to
relate the test results with a specific lot
of seed.
