Abstract: The Tobacco Inspection Act
(7 U.S.C. 511–511s) requires that all
tobacco sold at designated auction
markets in the U.S. be inspected and
graded. The Appropriations Act (7
U.S.C. 511s note) requires that all
tobacco eligible for price support in the
U.S. be inspected and graded. The Fair
and Equitable Tobacco Reform Act of
2004 (7 U.S.C. 518–519a) eliminated
price supports and marketing quotas for
all tobacco beginning with the 2005
crop year. Mandatory inspection and
grading of domestic and imported
tobacco was eliminated as well as the
mandatory pesticide testing of imported
tobacco and the tobacco market news
program. The Tobacco Inspection Act
also provides for interested parties to
request inspection, pesticide testing,
and grading services on a permissive
basis. The information collection
requirements authorized for the
programs under the Tobacco Inspection
Act and the Appropriations Act include:
application for inspection of tobacco,
application and other information used
in the approval of new auction markets
or the extension of services to
designated tobacco markets, and the
information required to be provided in
connection with auction and
nonauction sales.
Estimate of Burden: Public reporting
burden for this collection of information
is estimated to average 1.60 hours per
response.
Respondents: Primarily tobacco
companies, tobacco manufacturers,
import inspectors, and small businesses
or organizations.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
50.
Estimated Number of Responses per
Respondent: 48.
Estimated Number of Responses:
2415.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 3851.
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
