SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: AMS Grant Programs.
OMB Number: 0581–0240.
Expiration Date of Approval: 1/31/
2024.
Type of Request: Extension and
revision of a currently approved
information collection.
Abstract: AMS Grant Programs are
authorized pursuant to the Agricultural
Marketing Act of 1946 (AMA) (7 U.S.C.
1621, et seq.) and are implemented
through the Uniform Administrative
Requirements, Cost Principles, and
Audit Requirements for Federal Awards
(Super Circular) (2 CFR 200). The AMS
Grants Division requests to extend its
current approval to collect information
for its grant programs. The grant
program being added to this collection
is the Micro-Grants for Food Security
Program (MGFSP), which operates
pursuant to the authority of section
4206 of the Agriculture Improvement
Act of 2018 (Pub. L. 115–343), (7 U.S.C.
7518) (Farm Bill). Section 4206 directs
the Secretary of Agriculture to
‘‘distribute funds to the agricultural
department or agency of each eligible
state for the competitive distribution of
subgrants to eligible entities for fiscal
year 2019 and each fiscal year
thereafter.’’ The MGFSP works to
increase the quantity and quality of
locally grown food in food insecure
communities, including through smallscale gardening, herding, and livestock
operations.
AMS solicits for subject matter
experts to act as peer reviewers for
competitive grant programs under its
purview. Interested individuals apply
and those selected objectively review
and evaluate grant applications against
the criteria outlined in the published
announcement.
Because AMS Grant Programs are
voluntary, respondents request or apply
for the specific competitive or non-
PO 00000

competitive grant program they select,
and in doing so, they provide
information. AMS is the primary user of
the information. The information
collected is needed to certify that grant
participants are complying with
applicable program regulations, and the
data collected is the minimum
information necessary to effectively
carry out the requirements of the
program. The information collection
requirements in this request are
essential to carry out the intent of the
AMA, to provide the respondents the
type of service they request, and to
administer these programs. The burden
of the AMS Grant Programs is as

the new 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
new 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

Title: National 4–H Conference
Registration Form, Leadership Position
Interest Form, and Scholarship Interest
Form.
OMB Control Number: 0524–New.
Summary of Collection: The National
4–H Conference is known as the
‘‘Secretary’s Conference’’ and has been
the flagship youth development
opportunity of USDA since 1927. The
objectives of the National 4–H
Conference are to: develop the next
generation of leaders; increase youth
familiarity with the government and
future career opportunities; and provide
an opportunity for young people
involved in 4–H in rural, urban, and
Tribal communities to share their voice
on a national level with the federal
government through a Youth
Perspective Briefing.
The National 4–H Conference is
administered by the U.S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA) National Institute of
Food and Agriculture (NIFA). The
statutory authority for the Conference is
under Section 7511(f)(2) of the Food,
Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008
(Pub. L. 110–246), as amended.
Need and Use of the Information: All
land-grant colleges and universities are
invited to select and send high school
aged 4–H members along with adult
chaperones to the National 4–H
Conference. Each is encouraged to
partner within their state to select a
diverse state delegation based on age,
background, geographic distribution,
and/or experience with the 4–H
program. The selected youth must be 15
to 19 years old during the dates in
which the National 4–H Conference is
held to participate. NIFA will collect
information using the Registration
Form, Leadership Interest Form, and the
Scholarship Interest Form. The
information collected is used by NIFA
and the logistics company to ensure
youth and adults who would like to
attend, serve in leadership, or apply for
a scholarship role at the National 4–H
Conference can be contacted, submit
activity and dietary preferences, meet
eligibility requirements, and provide the
permissions required by law such as
parental/guardian consent.
If NIFA were unable to collect this
data, then the USDA NIFA National 4–
H Conference would be unable to
support the successful planning and
delivery of activities associated with the
National 4–H Conference.
