Title: Export Inspection and Weighing
Waiver for High Quality Specialty
Grains Transported in Containers Under
the Authority of the United States Grain
Standards Act.
OMB Control Number: 0581–0306.
Summary of Collection: The United
States Grain Standards Act, as amended
(7 U.S.C. 71–87) (USGSA), with few
exceptions, requires that all grain
shipped from the United States must be
officially inspected and weighed.
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. The Federal Grain
Inspection Service (FGIS) established
this waiver to facilitate the marketing of
high quality specialty grain exported in
containers.
Need and Use of the Information: To
comply with the waiver of the
mandatory inspection and weighing
requirements, FGIS is asking exporters
of high quality specialty grain
transported in containers to maintain
records generated during the normal
course of business that pertain to these
shipments and make these documents
available to FGIS upon request for
review or copying purposes. These
records are maintained for a period of 3
years. This requirement is essential to
ensure that exporters who ship high
quality specialty grain in containers
comply with the waiver requirements.
Description of Respondents: Business
or other for-profit.
Number of Respondents: 40.
