Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request, 15126-15127 [2018-07160]

Download as PDF 15126 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 68 / Monday, April 9, 2018 / Notices Congress enacted The United States Grain Standards Act (USGSA) (7 U.S.C. 71— 87k) to facilitate the marketing of grain in interstate and foreign commerce. The USGSA, with few exceptions, requires that all grain shipped from the United States must be officially inspected and officially weighed. The USGSA authorizes the Department of Agriculture to waive the mandatory inspection and weighing requirements of the USGSA in circumstances when the objectives of the USGSA would not be impaired. Section 7 CFR 800.18 of the regulations waives the mandatory inspection and weighing requirements of the USGSA for high quality specialty grain exported in containers. FGIS established this waiver to facilitate the marketing of high quality specialty grain exported in containers. This action was consistent with the objectives of the USGSA and would promote the continuing development of the high quality specialty grain export market. To ensure that exporters of high quality specialty grain complied with this waiver, FGIS required exporters to maintain records generated during the normal course of business that pertain to these shipments and make these documents available upon request for review or copying purposes (76 FR 45397). These records shall be maintained for a period of 3 years. This information collection requirement is essential to ensure that exporters who ship high quality specialty grain in containers comply with the waiver provisions. FGIS does not require exporters of high quality specialty grain to complete and submit new Federal government record(s), form(s), or report(s).
