Agricultural Marketing Service
Title: Federal Seed Act Program.
OMB Control Number: 0581–0026.
Summary of Collection: The Federal
Seed Act (FSA) (7 U.S.C. 1551–1611)
regulates agricultural and vegetable
seeds in interstate commerce. Fresh
apples and grapes grown in the United
States shipped to designated foreign
destination must meet minimum quality
and other requirements established by
regulations issued under the Export
Apple Act (7 U.S.C. 581–590) and the
Export Grape and Plum Act (7 U.S.C.
591–599) (Acts) in 7 CFR parts 33 and
35, respectively. Regulations for plum
exports have not been in effect since
1991.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s
(USDA) issues regulations that cover
exports of U.S. fresh apples and grapes
shipped to foreign destinations, except
for grapes shipped to Canada or Mexico
and apples in bulk bins shipped to
Canada. Certain limited quantity
provisions may exempt some shipments
from this information collection.
Regulations issued under the Acts (7
CFR 33.11 for apples and § 35.12 for
grapes) require that USDA inspect and
certify that each export shipment of
fresh apples and grapes complies with
quality and shipping requirements
effective under the Acts.
Need and Use of the Information: 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.
The FSA program would be ineffective
without the ability to examine pertinent
records as necessary to resolve
complaints of violations.
Description of Respondents: Business
or other for-profit; Farm.

shipped to designated foreign
destination must meet minimum quality
and other requirements established by
VerDate Sep<11>2014

regulations issued under the Export
Apple Act (7 U.S.C. 581–590) and the
Export Grape and Plum Act (7 U.S.C.
591–599) (Acts) in 7 CFR parts 33 and
35, respectively. Regulations for plum
exports have not been in effect since
1991. The U.S. Department of

Acts (7 CFR 33.11 for apples and § 35.12
for grapes) require that USDA inspect
and certify that each export shipment of
fresh apples and grapes complies with
quality and shipping requirements
effective under the Acts.
Need and Use of the Information: The
information collection requirements in
this request are essential to carry out the
intent and administration of the Acts.
The currently approved collection
under OMB No. 0581–0143 authorizes
the use of an Export Form Certificate
(SC–205). Federal or Federal-State
Inspection Program (FSIP) inspectors
use the Export Form Certificate to
certify inspection of the shipment for
exports bound for non-Canadian
destinations. Procedures require
shippers to maintain and provide, upon
USDA’s request, a paper or electronic
copy of the SC–205 when needed for
USDA to monitor compliance with
regulations. Based on procedures
amended in 2016 and approved by OMB
for information collection purposes,
carriers, which transport goods on
behalf of shippers, are no longer
required to maintain a copy of the SC–
205.
