Agricultural Marketing Service

    Title: Tart Cherries Grown in the States of MI, NY, PA, OR, UT, WA, 
and WI.
    OMB Control Number: 0581-0177.
    Summary of Collection: Marketing Order No. 930 (7 CFR part 930) 
regulates the handling of tart cherries grown in Michigan, New York, 
Pennsylvania, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Wisconsin. The Agricultural 
Marketing Agreement Act of 1937 authorizes the promulgation and 
amendment of marketing orders for certain agricultural commodities and 
the issuance of regulations thereof for the purpose of providing 
orderly marketing conditions in interstate and intrastate commerce and 
for improving returns to producers. The primary objective of the Order 
is to stabilize the supply of tart cherries. Only tart cherries that 
will be canned or frozen will be regulated. The Order is administered 
by an 18-member Board comprised of producers, handlers and one public 
member, plus alternates for each. The members will serve for a three-
year term of office.
    Need and Use of the Information: Various forms were developed by 
the Board for persons to file required information relating to tart 
cherry inventories, shipments, diversions and other needed information 
to effectively carry out the requirements of the Order. The information 
collected is used to ensure compliance, verify eligibility, and vote on 
amendments, monitor and record grower's information. Authorized Board 
employees and the industry are the primary users of the information. If 
information were not collected, it would eliminate needed data to keep 
the industry and the Secretary abreast of changes at the State and 
local level.
    Description of Respondents: Business or other for profit; not-for-
profit institutions.
    Number of Respondents: 640.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Annually; Quarterly; On 
occasion.
    Total Burden Hours: 741.

Agricultural Marketing Service

    Title: AMS Grant Programs.
    OMB Control Number: 0581-0240.
    Summary of Collection: In 2016, OMB approved 0581-0240 which 
combined five grant programs (1) the Federal-State Marketing 
Improvement Program (FSMIP), (2) the Farmers Market, (3) the Local Food 
Promotion Program (FMLFPP), (4) the Specialty Crop Multi-State Program 
(SCMP), and (5) the Specialty Crop Block Grant Program (SCBGP) into a 
single collection package entitled AMS Grant Programs. This renewal 
request is to extend AMS' current approval to collect information for 
these five grant programs and to add four additional grant programs to 
this collection. The four new grant programs are the Dairy Business 
Innovation (DBI) Initiatives, Regional Food System Partnerships (RFSP), 
the Sheep Production and Marketing Grant Program (SPMGP), and the Acer 
Access and Development Program (Acer).
    All the grant programs are authorized pursuant to the Agricultural 
Marketing Act (AMA) of 1946 (7 U.S.C. 1621, et seq.) and the Farmer-to-
Consumer Direct Marketing Act of 1976 (7 U.S.C. 3001) are implemented 
through the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and 
Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Super Circular) (2 CFR 200).
    Need and Use of the Information: The information collected is 
needed to certify that grant participants are complying with applicable 
program regulations, and the data collected are 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 for AMS to administer these programs. The 
purpose of AMS Grant Programs is to provide grants to eligible 
entities. Without the required information, AMS will not be able to 
review, award, reimburse, or monitor grants to eligible applicants.
    Description of Respondents: State, local or Tribal government.
    Number of Respondents: 5,367.
    Frequency of Responses: Recordkeeping; Reporting: Annually; Semi-
annually.
    Total Burden Hours: 24,469.
