Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 238 / Tuesday, December 13, 2005 / Notices inspection and grading services on a fee for service basis. The collection of information regarding the requirement for companies to ensure domestic origin of the products they deliver to the USDA Purchase Program is provided for in the ‘‘General Terms and Conditions for Procurement of Agricultural Commodities of Services,’’ (USDA–1). The Domestic Origin Verification System Program (DOVS) is a voluntary audit and verification user-fee service available to supplies, processors, and any financially interested party. It is designed to provide validation of the applicant’s domestic origin verification system prior to bidding on contracts to supply food products to the Department’s Feeding programs, and/or may be conducted after a contract is awarded. Participation in DOVS does not relieve a company of its contractual requirements to provide only domestic origin product to the USDA. Need and Use of the Information: An interested company requests a DOVS questionnaire, and once completed it contains the applicants procedures to ensure fruit, nut or vegetable components or products can be traced back to their domestic origin; use of a segregation plan to keep all nondomestic components or products separate from domestic products; for taking corrective action on nonconformities and deficiencies; for checking the adequacy of their internal system of ensuring domestic origin; instructing employees in the domestic origin requirement and for maintaining records relating to the applicant’s domestic origin verification system. These elements should be place whether or not the applicant is on the DOVS program or providing a trace-back on every contract. DOVS assists companies to meet the domestic origin requirement for the USDA Purchase Program efficiently and eliminates the redundancy of the trace paperwork that is required for every USDA contract.
