USDA TARGET Center at (202)720–
2600 (voice) and (202)690–0942 (TTY).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Voluntary Labeling Program for
Biobased Products for Federal Biobased
Products Preferred Procurement
Program.
OMB Control Number: 0503–0020.
Expiration Date of Approval: April 30,
2014.
Type of Request: Extension and
revision of a currently approved
information collection.
Abstract: Section 9002(h) of the Farm
Security and Rural Investment Act
(FSRIA) of 2002, as amended by the
Food, Conservation, and Energy Act
(FCEA) of 2008, requires the Secretary
of Agriculture to implement a voluntary
labeling program that would enable
qualifying biobased products to be
labeled with a ‘‘USDA Certified
Biobased Product’’ label. USDA
subsequently published the terms and
conditions for voluntary use of the label.
These terms and conditions can be
found in the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) at 7 CFR part 3202.
To implement the statutory
requirements of FSRIA, USDA will
gather relevant product information on
biobased products for which
manufacturers and vendors seek
certification to use the label. The
information collected will enable USDA
to evaluate the qualifications of
biobased products to carry the USDA
label and to ensure that the label is used
properly and in accordance with the
requirements specified in 7 CFR part
3202. To the extent feasible, the
information sought by USDA can be
transmitted electronically using the Web
site https://www.biopreferred.gov. If
electronic transmission of information is
not practical for some applicants, USDA
will provide technical assistance to
support the transmission of information
to USDA.
Estimate of Burden: Public reporting
burden for this collection of information
is estimated to average 3 hours per
response.
Respondents: Manufacturers and
vendors who wish to apply the ‘‘USDA
Certified Biobased Product’’ label to
their biobased products.
Estimated Annual Number of
Respondents: 300.
Estimated Number of Responses per
Respondent: 4. One response is required
for each product for which certification
is sought and the average number of
products each respondent is expected to
apply for certification for is four.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 3,600 hours, one time
only. Manufacturers and vendors are
only required to respond once for each
product they wish to label. Therefore,
there is no ongoing annual paperwork
burden on respondents unless they wish
to apply to label additional products.
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.
Comments may be sent to Ron Buckhalt,
USDA, Office of Procurement and
Property Management, Room 361,
Reporters Building, 300 7th St. SW.,
Washington, DC 20024. All comments
received will be available for public
inspection during regular business
hours at the same address.
All responses to this notice will be
summarized and included in the request
for OMB approval. All comments will
become a matter of public record.
Dated: November 26, 2013.

Assistant Secretary for Administration, U.S.
