AGENCY: Farm Service Agency and
Commodity Credit Corporation, USDA.
ACTION: Notice; request for comments.
SUMMARY: In accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the
Farm Service Agency (FSA) and
Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC)
are seeking comments from all
interested individuals and organizations
on a revision of a currently approved
information collection request. This
information collection is necessary to
support the procurement of agricultural
commodities for domestic and export
food donation programs. FSA and CCC
issue invitations to purchase or process
commodities for food assistance
programs on monthly, multiple
monthly, quarterly, and yearly basis.
Special invitations, however, are issued
throughout the month. The revision to
the information collection request is to
support the implementation of a new
system named Web Based Supply Chain
Management (WBSCM) that will allow
respondents to submit information
electronically. This new system will
replace some of the existing paper forms
in this information collection and
reduce the burden on respondents.
WBSCM will eventually replace all
other existing forms in this information
collection.

currently approved information
collection.
Abstract: The United States donates
agricultural commodities domestically
and overseas to relieve famine, provide
other emergency assistance and combat
malnutrition. It also sells or donates
commodities to promote economic
development. FSA and CCC issue
invitations to purchase or sell
agricultural commodities and services
for use in domestic and export
programs. Vendors respond by making
offers using various FSA and CCC
commodity offer forms.
The revision to the information
collection request is due to the new
WBSCM system that respondents will

currently approved in this information
collection and reduce the burden on
respondents. WBSCM will eventually
replace all other existing forms in this
information collection.
The export offer information and the
annual certification information will be
entered and received electronically in
WBSCM. Most of the domestic offer
information will also be entered and
received electronically in WBSCM.
Vendors will be able to access WBSCM
to see the date and time shown in the
system for receipt of bid, bid
modification, or bid cancellation
information. At bid opening date and
time, the bid information will be
evaluated through the system.
