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 (USGSA),
with few exceptions, requires official
certification of export grain sold by
grade. The regulations promulgating the
USGSA require specific information
collection and record-keeping necessary
to enforce provisions in the statue. On
July 29, 2011, Federal Grain Inspection
Service (FGIS) published a final rule in
the Federal Register (76 FR 45397) to
amend the regulations under the
USGSA to make permanent a waiver
that expired on July 31, 2012 for high
quality specialty grains exported in
containers from the mandatory
inspection and weighing requirements
of the USGSA. To ensure that exporters
of high-quality specialty grains comply
with this waiver, FGIS is asking
exporters to maintain records generated
during their normal course of business
that pertain to these shipments and
make these documents available to the
FGIS upon request. FGIS has no other
means available to monitor the grain
industry’s compliance with provisions
of this waiver.
Need and Use of the Information: To
comply with the waiver of the
mandatory inspection and weighing
requirement, FGIS is asking exporters of
high quality specialty grains transported
in containers to maintain records
generated during their normal course of
business that pertain to these shipments
and make these documents available to
FGIS upon request. Experience has
shown that the U.S. grain industry
maintains grain contracts that specify
quality parameters agreed to by buyers
and sellers of grain. FGIS believes that
grain contracts would provide sufficient
information to determine if exporters of
high-quality specialty grain are
complying with the waiver. This
information collection requirement is
essential for FGIS to enforce provisions
set forth in the USGSA. FGIS intends to
request copies of the relevant
documents annually to ensure

compliance with this waiver. FGIS also
will require exporters to maintain
records for a 3-year period.

or other for-profit.
Number of Respondents: 40.
