considered information collections and
are subject to the Paperwork Reduction
Act. If a marketing order is amended,
handlers are asked to sign an agreement
indicating their willingness to abide by
the provisions of the amended
marketing order.
Some forms are required to be filed
with the committee or board. The
marketing orders and their rules and
regulations authorize the respective
commodities’ committees and boards,
the agencies responsible for local
administration of the marketing orders,
to require handlers and producers to
submit certain information. Much of the
information is compiled in aggregate
and provided to the respective
industries to assist in marketing
decisions. The committees and boards
have developed forms as a means for
persons to file required information
relating to supplies, shipments, and
dispositions of their respective
commodities, and other information
needed to effectively carry out the
purpose of the Act and their respective
orders, and these forms are utilized
accordingly.
The forms covered under this
information collection require
respondents to provide the minimum
information necessary to effectively
carry out the requirements of the
marketing orders, and use of these forms
is necessary to fulfill the intent of the
Act as expressed in the marketing
orders’ rules and regulations.
The information collected is used
only by authorized employees of the
committees and authorized
representatives of the USDA, including
AMS, Specialty Crops Program’s
regional and headquarters’ staff.
Authorized committee or board
employees are the primary users of the
information and AMS is the secondary
user.
Estimate of Burden: Public reporting
burden for this collection of information
is estimated to average .310 hours per
response.
Respondents: Producers, handlers,
processors, cooperatives, and public
members.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
6,800.
Estimated Number of Responses:
25,088.
Estimated Number of Responses per
Respondent: 3.69.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 7,780 hours.
Comments are invited on: (1) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility; (2) the accuracy of the

agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3)
ways to enhance the quality, utility and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (4) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on those who are to respond, including
through the use of appropriate
automated, electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology.
Comments should reference this
docket number and be sent to the USDA
in care of the Docket Clerk at the
address above. All comments received
will be available for public inspection
during regular business hours at the
same address.
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.
AMS is committed to compliance
with the E-Government Act to promote
the use of the internet and other
information technologies, to provide

Summary of Collection: The
Perishable Agricultural Commodities
Act (PACA). (7 U.S.C. 499a–499t) and 7
CFR part 46, establishes a code of fair
trading practices covering the marketing
of fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables

distributors by prohibiting unfair
practices. PACA requires nearly all
persons who operate as commission
merchants, dealers and brokers buying

interstate or foreign commerce to be
licensed. The license for retailers and
grocery wholesalers is effective for three
years and for all other licensees up to

Using various forms and business
records, AMS will collect information
from the applicant to administer
licensing provisions under the Act, to
adjudicate contract disputes, and for the
