SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Secretary of Agriculture is authorized by
the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946
(AMA), as amended (7 U.S.C. 1621 et
seq.), to provide voluntary Federal dairy
grading and inspection services to
facilitate the orderly marketing of dairy
products and to enable consumers to
obtain the quality of dairy products they
desire. One means of facilitating
international marketing of domestically
produced dairy products is through the
issuance of export certificates.
Many importing countries require
shipment specific certificates attesting
to the acceptability of products and/or
the manufacturing operations that
produce these products. Some countries
accept generic export certificates issued
by the Dairy Grading Branch. Other
countries have accepted certificates
issued by the Dairy Grading Branch that
include country specific information.
The Dairy Grading Branch coordinates
the content of these certificates with
other Department of Agriculture (USDA)
and Federal agencies when the
statements made in these certificates are
based on responsibilities of those
agencies.
The manufacturing operations that
produce products eligible for export
certification include those operations
participating in the USDA approved
plant program administered by the
Dairy Grading Branch (7 CFR part 58)
and operations identified by the Food
and Drug Administration. The AMA
provides for the collection of reasonable
fees from users of the services provided
by the Dairy Grading Branch.
Manufacturers and exporters requesting
certificates are charged fees
commensurate with costs associated
with this service.
In order to prepare an export
certificate, it is necessary that the
manufacturer or exporter provide
shipment specific information. This is
accomplished by completing a
worksheet developed by the Dairy
Grading Branch then mailing or faxing
this completed worksheet to the
Washington, DC office. In some
instances a Certificate of Conformance

Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 117 / Monday, June 19, 2006 / Notices
prepared by the manufacturer or
exporter must also be completed and
provided to the office before an export
certificate can be prepared.
The information collection
requirements in this request are needed
in order for the Dairy Grading Branch to
issue export certificates. The Export
Certification Program supports the
USDA, AMS mission of facilitating the
marketing of U.S. agricultural products.
Title: Applications for Export
Certification.
OMB Number: 0581-New.

Collection.

Estimated Number of Responses:

Respondents: 1,275 Hours.
Comments are invited on: (1) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility; (2) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the

including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3)

burden of the collection of information

SUMMARY: We propose to post one
stockyard. We have received
information that the stockyard meets the
PO 00000
Frm 00004
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
definition of a stockyard under the
Packers and Stockyards Act and,
therefore, needs to be posted. Posted
stockyards are subject to the provisions
of the Packers and Stockyards Act. We
have posted seven stockyards. We
determined that the stockyards meet the
definition of a stockyard under the
Packers and Stockyards Act and,
therefore, have been posted. Four
facilities, for which notices of proposed
posting were announced, were not
posted because they no longer meet the
definition of a stockyard. These
facilities were either abandoned or
underwent a change so they no longer
function as a stockyard. We are also
deposting four stockyards. These
facilities can no longer be used as a
stockyard and, therefore, are no longer
required to be posted.
DATES: For the proposed posting of
stockyards, we will consider comments
that we receive by July 5, 2006.
For the deposted stockyards, the
deposting is effective on June 19, 2006.
ADDRESSES: We invite you to submit
comments on this notice. You may
submit comments by any of the
following methods:
• E-Mail: Send comments via
electronic mail to
comments.gipsa@usda.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Grain

Administration (GIPSA) administers
and enforces the Packers and Stockyards
Act of 1921, as amended and
