Agricultural Marketing Service—Farm
Service Agency
Title: National Organic Program.
OMB Control Number: 0581–0191.
Summary of Collection: The Organic
Foods Production Act (OFPA) of 1990,
Title XXI of the Food, Agriculture,
Conservation and Trade Act of 1990
(Farm Bill), U.S.C. Title 7 Section
6503(a) mandates that the Secretary of
Agriculture develop a national organic
program. The purposes of the regulation
mandated by OFPA are: (1) To establish
national standards governing the
marketing of certain agricultural
products as organically produced
products; (2) to assure consumers that
organically produced products meet a
consistent standard; and (3) to facilitate
interstate commerce in fresh and
processed food that is organically
produced. The National Organic
Program (NOP) regulation fulfills the
requirements of the OFPA. It includes
comprehensive production and
handling standards, labeling provisions,
requirements for the certification of
producers and handlers, accreditation of
certifying agents by USDA and an
administrative subpart for fees, State
Programs, National List, appeals,
compliance and pesticide residue
testing. Agricultural Marketing Service
will approve programs for State
governments wishing to establish State
Organic Programs.
Need and Use of the Information: The
information collected is used to evaluate
compliance with OFPA and NOP for
administering the program, for
management decisions and planning, for
establishing the cost of the program and
to support administrative and regulatory
actions in response to non-compliance
with OFPA. Certifying agents will have
to submit an application to USDA to
become accredited to certify organic
production and handling operations.
Auditors will review the application,
perform site evaluation and submit
reports to USDA, who will make a
decision to grant or deny accreditation.
Producers, handlers and certifying
agents whose operations are not
approved have the right to mediation
and appeal the decision. Reporting and
recordkeeping are essential to the
integrity of the organic certification
system.

Type of Request: Emergency
submission.
Burden Hours: 10.
Number of Respondents: 10.
Average Hours Per Response: 1.
Needs and Uses: The Tax Relief and
Heath Care Act of 2006 (‘‘the Act’’)
contains provisions to assist the men’s
and boys’’ cotton shirting industry.
Among these provisions, the Act creates
an annual tariff rate quota (TRQ)
providing for temporary reductions
through December 31, 2009 in the
import duties of cotton woven fabrics
suitable for making men’s and boys’
cotton shirts (new Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTS)
headings 9902.52.08, 9902.52.09,
9902.52.10, 9902.52.11, 9902.52.12,
9902.52.13, 9902.52.14, 9902.52.15,
9902.52.16, 9902.52.17, 9902.52.18, and
9902.52.19). The reduction in duty is
limited to 85 percent of the total square
meter equivalents of all imported woven
fabrics of cotton containing 85 percent
or more by weight cotton used by
manufacturers in cutting and sewing
men’s and boy’s cotton shirts in the
United States and purchased by such
manufacturer during calendar year
2000.
Section 406(b)(1) of the Act requires
the Secretary of Commerce to fairly
allocate the tariff rate quota. More
specifically, the Secretary of Commerce
must issue licenses and ensure that the
tariff rate quota is fairly allocated to
eligible manufacturers under such
headings 9902.52.08 through
9902.52.19. The TRQ is effective for
goods entered or withdrawn from
warehouse for consumption, on or after
January 1, 2007, and will remain in
force through 2009. The TRQ will be
allocated each year and a TRQ
allocation will be valid only in the year
for which it is issued.
The reduction of import duties
provided by the TRQ will be of
considerable benefit to firms that
receive TRQ allocations. It will lower
the firms’ cost of production, enabling
them to better compete with foreign
imports.
The Department of Commerce has
prepared, and will transmit to OMB for
approval, an interim final rule to
implement these responsibilities. The
major firms that stand to benefit from
the TRQ were consulted during this
process.
The Department must collect a
notarized affidavit in order to carry out
its responsibilities under the Act
pursuant to Section 406(b)(3) of the Act
.
