SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Volunteer Service Agreements
and Volunteer Service Time and
Attendance Record.
OMB Control Number: 0579–XXXX.
Type of Request: Approval of a new
information collection.
Abstract: Section 1526 of the Food
and Agricultural Act of 1981 (7 U.S.C.
2272) permits the Secretary of
Agriculture to establish a program to use
volunteers to carry out U.S. Department
of Agriculture (USDA) programs.
Departmental Regulation No. 4230–1,
Volunteer Programs, provides the
guidelines USDA agencies must use for
acceptance of volunteers and sets a
requirement for agencies to publish
their guidelines. Regulations of the
Office of Personnel Management (OPM)
in 5 CFR part 308 provide agencies with
the authority to establish programs
designed to provide educationally
related work assignments for students in
nonpay status.
The Marketing and Regulatory
Programs (MRP) mission area of USDA
uses several information collection
activities to assist MRP program
officials, administrative personnel, and
USDA Human Resources offices in
determining a volunteer’s eligibility and
suitability for volunteer service. The
information is necessary to facilitate
establishment of guidelines for
acceptance of volunteer services; make
a determination of an individual’s
eligibility and suitability to serve as a
volunteer in MRP; and comply with
OPM regulations requiring
documentation of volunteer service and
maintenance of records. The
information collection activities include
a Student Volunteer Service Agreement,
Nonstudent Volunteer Service
Agreement, and Volunteer Time and
Attendance Record.
We are asking the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
approve our use of these information
collection activities for 3 years.
The purpose of this notice is to solicit
comments from the public (as well as
affected agencies) concerning our
information collection. These comments
will help us:

(1) Evaluate 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;
(2) Evaluate the accuracy of our
estimate of the burden of the collection
of information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
(4) Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, through use, as
appropriate, of automated, electronic,
mechanical, and other collection
technologies; e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses.
Estimate of burden: The public
reporting burden for this collection of
information is estimated to average 0.22
hours per response.
Respondents: Individuals engaged in
activities for which they are not paid,
except for authorized expenses
associated with performance of
volunteer activities.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 85.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 2.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 170.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 38 hours. (Due to
averaging, the total annual burden hours
may not equal the product of the annual
number of responses multiplied by the
reporting burden per response.)
All responses to this notice will be
summarized and included in the request
for OMB approval. All comments will
also become a matter of public record.
