Agricultural Marketing Service

    Title: Reporting Requirements under Regulations Governing 
Inspection and Grading Services of Manufactured or Processed Dairy 
Products and the Certification of Sanitary Design & Fabrication of 
Equipment used in the Slaughter, Processing, and Packaging of Livestock 
and Poultry Products.
    OMB Control Number: 0581-0126.
    Summary of Collection: The Agricultural Marketing Act (AMA) of 1946 
(7 U.S.C. 1621-1627), directs and authorizes the Department to develop 
standards of quality, condition, quantity, grading programs, and 
services to enable a more orderly marketing of agricultural products. 
The regulations governing the voluntary inspection and grading program 
for dairy products is contained in 7 CFR part 58. The certification 
regulations for livestock and poultry products are contained in 7 CFR 
part 54. The Government, industry and consumer will be well served if 
the Government can help insure that dairy products are produced under 
sanitary conditions and that buyers have the choice of purchasing the 
quality of the product they desire. The dairy grading program is a 
voluntary user fee program. In order for a voluntary inspection program 
to perform satisfactorily with a minimum of confusion, information must 
be collected to determine what services are requested.
    Need and Use of the Information: The information collected is used 
to identify the product offered for grading; to identify and contact 
the individuals responsible for payment of the grading or equipment 
evaluation fee and expense; and to identify the person responsible for 
administering the grade label program. The Agriculture Marketing 
service will use several forms to collect essential information to 
carry out and administer the inspection and grading program.
    Description of Respondents: Business or other for profit.
    Number of Respondents: 168.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion.
    Total Burden Hours: 2,252.
