Marketing order regulations help ensure adequate supplies of high-quality product and adequate returns to producers. Marketing orders are authorized by the Agricultural Marketing Agreement Act of 1937 (Act), as amended (7 U.S.C. 601–674). The Secretary of Agriculture oversees these operations and issues regulations recommended by a committee of representatives from the respective commodity industry. The purpose of this notice is to solicit public comments on the 14 forms in this OMB package which are described below. Two ballot forms for committee nominations (SC–307 and SC–308), two grower and sheller nomination forms (SC–309 and SC–310) as well as two background and acceptance statements forms for growers and shellers and public members (SC–8 and SC–9) and a grower referendum ballot (SC–313). Two Marketing Agreements (SC–242 and SC–242A) are also included. In addition, this package includes five reporting forms the American Pecan Council uses to track shipments and inventory. The Summary Report/U.S. Pecans Received for Your Account (Form 1); Pecans Purchased Outside of the United States (Form 2); Exports by Country of Destination (Form 3); Annual Agreement of Inter-Handler Transfer (Form 4); and Year-End Inventory Report(Form 5). The number of producers has changed from 2,500 to 4,380 since the last renewal. Now that the marketing order has been in place for a few years, the industry has a better understanding of the actual numbers of producers in the industry. Estimate of Burden: Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 0.3 hours per response (rounded).
