DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Notice of Request for Extension of a
Currently Approved Information
Collection
AGENCY:
Office of the Chief Economist,
rmajette on PROD1PC64 with NOTICES
USDA.
SUMMARY: In accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. Chapter 35), this notice
announces that the Department of
Agriculture, Office of the Chief
Economist, is hereby requesting an
extension of a currently approved
information collection, Guidelines for
Designating Biobased Products for
Federal Procurement.
DATES: Comments received by December
26, 2007 will be considered.
Additional Information or Comments:
Comments and questions should be
directed to Marvin Duncan, USDA,
Office of the Chief Economist, Office of
Energy Policy and New Uses, Room
4059, South Building, 1400
Independence Avenue, SW., MS–3815,
Washington, DC 20250–3815.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Guidelines for Designating
Biobased Products for Federal
Procurement.
OMB Control Number: 0503–0011.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
Abstract: The USDA BioPreferred
Program provides that qualifying
biobased products that fall under items
(generic groups of biobased products)
that have been designated for preferred
procurement by rule making are
required to be purchased by Federal
agencies in lieu of their fossil energybased counterparts, with certain limited
exceptions. Further, USDA is required
by section 9002 of the Farm Security
and Rural Investment Act of 2002 to
provide certain information on qualified
biobased products to Federal agencies.
To meet these statutory requirements,
USDA will use a number of forms to
VerDate Aug<31>2005
15:23 Oct 25, 2007
Jkt 214001
gather that information from
manufacturers and vendors of biobased
products. To the extent feasible, the
information sought by USDA can be
transmitted electronically using the Web
site https://www.usda.gov/biopreferred.
If electronic transmission of information
is not practical, USDA will provide
technical assistance to support the
transmission of information to USDA.
The information collected will enable
USDA to meet statutory information
requirements that then permit USDA to
designate items for preferred
procurement under the BioPreferred
Program. Once items are designated,
manufacturers and vendors of qualifying
biobased products that fall under these
designated items will benefit from
preferred procurement by Federal
agencies.
Estimate of Burden: Public reporting
burden for this collection of information
is estimated to average 14.9 hours per
response.
Respondents: Manufacturers and
vendors of biobased products.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
2,905
Estimated Number of Responses per
Respondent: One per manufacturer or
vendor.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 14,387 hours one time
only. Manufacturers and vendors are
asked to respond only once. Therefore,
there is no ongoing annual paperwork
burden on respondents.
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
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (4) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on those who are to respond, including
the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
All responses to this notice will be
summarized and included in the request
PO 00000

for OMB approval. All comments will
become a matter of public record.
