Agricultural Marketing Service Title: Application for Plant Variety Protection Certificate and Objective Description of Variety. OMB Control Number: 0581–0055. Summary of Collection: The Plant Variety Protection Act (PVPA) (December 24, 1970; 84 Stat. 1542, 7 U.S.C. 2321 et seq.) was established to encourage the development of novel varieties of sexually-reproduced plants and make them available to the public, providing intellectual property rights (IPR) protection to those who breed, develop, or discover such novel varieties, and thereby promote progress in agriculture in the public interest. The PVPA is a voluntary user funded program that grants intellectual property ownership rights to breeders of new and novel seed-and tuber-reproduced plant varieties. To obtain these rights the applicant must provide information that shows the variety is eligible for protection and that it is indeed new, distinct, uniform, and stable, as the law requires. Applicants are provided with applications to identify the information that is required to issue a certificate of protection. Need and Use of the Information: Applicants must complete the ST–470, ‘‘Application for Plant Variety Protection Certificate,’’ and the ST–470 series of forms, ‘‘Objective Description of Variety’’ along with other forms. The Agricultural Marketing Service will use the information from the applicant to be evaluated by examiners to determine if the variety is eligible for protection under the PVPA. If this information were not collected there will be no basis for issuing certificate of protection, and no way for applicants to request protection. Description of Respondents: Business or other for profit. Number of Respondents: 93.
