DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request
ebenthall on DSK5SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
May 29, 2012.
The Department of Agriculture has
submitted the following information
collection requirement(s) to OMB for
review and clearance under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
Public Law 104–13. Comments
regarding (a) whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate
of burden including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility and
clarity of the information to be
collected; (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on those who are to respond, including
through the use of appropriate
automated, electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology should be addressed to: Desk
Officer for Agriculture, Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs,
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB),
OIRA_Submission@OMB.EOP.GOV or
fax (202) 395–5806 and to Departmental
Clearance Office, USDA, OCIO, Mail
Stop 7602, Washington, DC 20250–
7602. Comments regarding these
information collections are best assured
of having their full effect if received
within 30 days of this notification.
Copies of the submission(s) may be
obtained by calling (202) 720–8958.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor a collection of information

the collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number.
Farm Service Agency
Title: End-Use Certificate Program
OMB Control Number: 0560–0151
Summary of Collection: Public Law
103–182, Section 321(f) of the North
American Free Trade Agreement
Implementation Act mandates that the
Secretary of Agriculture shall
implement, in coordination with the
Commissioner of Customs and Border
Protections, a program requiring that
end-use certificates be included in the
documentation covering the entry into
the United States of any wheat
originating from Canada. The end-use
certificate program was designed to
ensure that Canadian wheat does not
benefit from USDA or CCC-assisted
export programs.
Need and Use of the Information: The
form FSA–750 ‘‘End-Use Certificate for
Wheat’’ is used by importers of
Canadian wheat to report entry into the
United States. The form must be
submitted by the importer within 15
workdays following the date of entry.
Millers, exporters, and other users of
imported Canadian wheat use the FSA–
751, ‘‘Wheat Consumption and Resale
Report,’’ to report final disposition of
Canadian wheat in the United States.
Failure to collect the information on an
entry-by-entry basis would make it
impossible to ensure that imported grain
retains its’ identify preserved status and
doe not benefit from USDA or CCCassisted programs.
Description of Respondents: Business
or other for-profit.
Number of Respondents: 87.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting:
On occasion; Quarterly.
Total Burden Hours: 4,068.

Title: Cook Inlet Beluga Whale (CIBW)
Economic Survey.
OMB Control Number: None.
Form Number(s): NA.
Type of Request: Regular submission
(new information collection).
Number of Respondents: 2,428.
Average Hours per Response: Full
survey, 25 minutes; follow-up telephone
interview, 5 minutes.
Burden Hours: 814.
Needs and Uses: This request is for a
new information collection.
The population of Cook Inlet beluga
whales in the Cook Inlet of Alaska is
one of five distinct population segments
in United States (U.S.) waters. It was
listed as endangered under the
Endangered Species Act on October 22,
2008 (73 FR 62919), and Critical Habitat
was designated in a final rule published
on April 11, 2011 (76 FR 20180). The
public benefits associated with
protection actions for the Cook Inlet
beluga whale are substantially the result
of the non-consumptive value people
attribute to such protection. This
includes active use values associated
with being able to view beluga whales
and passive use, or ‘‘existence’’, values
unrelated to direct human use. No
empirical estimates of these values for
Cook Inlet beluga whales are currently
available, but this information is needed
for decision makers to more fully
understand the trade-offs involved in
evaluating population recovery
planning alternatives and to
complement other information available
about the costs, benefits, and impacts of
alternative plans.
The National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) plans to conduct a survey to
collect data for estimating nonconsumptive economic benefits
associated with changes in extinction
risk resulting from protection actions for
the Cook Inlet beluga whale. The
analysis NMFS completed prior to
designating Critical Habitat for Cook
Inlet beluga whales described nonconsumptive benefits in limited
qualitative terms only. Adding
empirical data about non-consumptive
benefits remains the most significant
gap to enabling a complete and balanced

economic analysis. The results from this
survey should be useful to NMFS and
the public in the future as NMFS
considers various actions under the
recovery planning process for Cook Inlet
beluga whales. Any future regulatory
actions would include analyses of costs
and benefits of the proposed measures
as well as opportunities for public
input.
During 2011, NMFS fielded a pilot
version of the survey to a small number
of U.S. households, primarily to
evaluate the survey administration
procedures prior to sending the survey
out to a larger and more representative
sample. The results of this pretest
indicated the need to make minor
adjustments to the survey
administration (e.g., timing of mailings
and telephone calls), which will be
incorporated in the data collection to
which this notice pertains.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households.
Frequency: One time.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
