SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Federal Seed Act Program.
OMB Number: 0581–0026.
Expiration Date of Approval: March
31, 2023.
Type of Request: Extension and
revision of a currently approved
information collection.
Abstract: This information collection
and these recordkeeping requirements
are necessary to conduct the Federal
Seed Act (FSA) (7 U.S.C. 1551 et seq.)
program with respect to certain testing,
labeling, and recordkeeping
requirements for agricultural and
vegetable seeds in interstate commerce.
Regulations under the FSA are
contained in 7 CFR part 201.
The FSA, Title II, is a truth-in-labeling
law that regulates agricultural and
vegetable planting seed in interstate
commerce. Seed subject to the FSA
must be labeled with certain quality
information and Title II requires that
information to be truthful. The FSA
prohibits the interstate shipment of
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 259001
falsely advertised seed and seed
containing noxious-weed seeds that are
prohibited from sale in the State into
which the seed is being shipped.
No unique forms are required for this
information collection. The FSA
requires seed in interstate commerce to
be tested and labeled. Once seed enters
a State, it must comply with the testing
and labeling requirements of that State’s
seed law. The testing and labeling
required by FSA nearly always satisfies
the State’s testing and labeling
requirements. The receiving sales,
cleaning, testing, and labeling records
required by FSA are also records that
the shipper would normally keep in
good business practice.
The information in this collection is
the minimum information necessary to
effectively carry out the enforcement of
FSA. With the exception of the
requirements for entering a new variety
into a State seed certification program
(set forth separately below), the
information collection is entirely
recordkeeping rather than reporting.
While the number of applicants has
slightly increased, the number of
requests has significantly increased
creating an increase in burden hours
over the previous submission.
Estimate of Burden: Public reporting
burden for this collection of information
is estimated to average 2.68 hours per
response.
Respondents: Interstate shippers and
labelers of seed.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
3,484.
Estimated Total Annual Responses:
35,582.
Estimated Number of Responses per
Respondent: 10.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 95,361 hours.
Eligibility Requirements for
Certification of New Varieties and
Recordkeeping
Estimate of Burden: Public reporting
burden for this collection of information
(eligibility for certification of new
varieties) is estimated to average 2.42
hours per response.
Respondents: Entities seeking to enter
new varieties into State seed
certification programs.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
82.
Estimated Total Annual Responses:
902.
Estimated Number of Responses per
Respondent: 11.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 2,183 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

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.
All responses to this notice will be
summarized and included in the request
for OMB approval. All comments will
become a matter of public record.

vote, and related civil rights issues. The
Commission was established by the
Civil Rights Act of 1957, Public Law
815–315, and subsequently modified in
the Civil Rights Commission
Amendments Act of 1994, 42 U.S.C.
1975a. These laws direct the
Commission to establish Advisory
Committees for each state, the District of
Columbia, and five U.S. territories.
These non-discretionary, statutory
Advisory Committees are subject to the
Federal Advisory Committee Act
(FACA), Public Law 92–463 codified as
5 U.S.C. app. 2.
As noted above, the 56 Advisory
Committees advise the Commission on
civil rights issues that the Committees
choose to evaluate. The Commission
may also ask Advisory Committees to
take up a civil rights topic in support of
a Commission investigation. After a
Committee’s report is submitted, the
Commission may invite the Advisory
Committee Chair to discuss the report,
including the findings and
recommendations, at regularly
scheduled Commission business
meetings. The Commission may notify
the U.S. Congressional delegation for
the particular locale that the advisory
committee within their jurisdiction has
published a report. In addition, the
Commission may distribute Committee
reports to the federal, state, and local
bodies that are identified in the
Committee report. Lastly, individual
Commissioners often attend the
Advisory Committee meetings, which
are open to the general public.
The USCCR identifies candidates for
advisory committee membership
through a variety of methods, including,
but not limited to, public requests for
nominations; recommendations from
existing advisory committee members;
consultations with knowledgeable
persons outside the USSCR (academia,
non-profits, other state or federal
government agencies, academia, etc.);
and Commissioners’ and USCCR staff’s
professional knowledge of those
experienced in civil rights. Following
the identification process and
submission of applications, the USCCR
develops a list of proposed members
with the relevant points of view needed
to ensure membership balance. The
USCCR Commissioners then vote to
appoint individuals to serve four-year
terms as Advisory Committee Members.
Advisory Committee Members are
generally classified as Representatives.
Representatives provide the viewpoints
of entities or recognizable groups and
are expected to potentially represent a
particular and known bias or
perspective.
