SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: United States Warehouse Act
(USWA).
OMB Number: 0581–0305.
Expiration Date of Approval: October
31, 2021.
Type of Request: Reinstatement with
Revision of previously approved
information collection.
Abstract: AMS is responsible, as
required by the USWA, 7 U.S.C. 869 et
seq., to license public warehouse
operators that are in the business of
storing agricultural products, to
examine such federally licensed
warehouses and to license qualified
persons to sample, inspect, weigh, and
classify agricultural products. AMS
licenses under the USWA cover
approximately half of all commercial
grain and cotton warehouse capacities
in the United States. The regulations
that implement the USWA govern the
establishment and maintenance of
systems under which documents,
including documents of title on
shipment, payment, and financing, may
be issued, or transferred for agricultural
products. Some of these systems and
documents issued may be electronic.
The regulations are found at 7 CFR 869
et seq.
This information collection allows
AMS to effectively administer the
regulations, licensing, and electronic
provider agreements and related
reporting and recordkeeping
requirements as specified in the USWA.
The forms in this information
collection are used to provide those
charged with issuing licenses under the
USWA a basis to determine whether the
warehouse and the warehouse operator
meet application requirements to
receive a license, and to determine
compliance once the license is issued.
For the following estimated total
annual burden on respondents, the
formula used to calculate the total
burden hours is the estimated average
time per response multiplied by the
estimated total annual responses.
Estimate of Burden: Public reporting
burden for this collection of information
is estimated to average 0.46 hours per
response, including the time for
reviewing instructions, searching
existing data sources, gathering and
maintaining the data needed, and
completing and reviewing the
collections of information.

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
the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.

be included in the request for Office of
