Agricultural Marketing Service Title: Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements (United States Grain Standards Act and Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946). OMB Control Number: 0581–0309. Summary of Collection: Congress enacted the United States Grain Standards Acts (USGSA) and the Agricultural Marketing Act (AMA) to facilitate the marketing of grain, oilseeds, pulses, rice, and related commodities. These statutes establish standards and terms that accurately and consistently measure the quality of grain and related products, provide for uniform official inspection and weighing, provide regulatory and official service responsibilities, and furnish the framework for commodity quality improvement incentives to both domestic and foreign buyers. The Department of Agriculture (USDA) Agriculture Marketing Service’s (AMS) Federal Grain Inspection Service (FGIS) establishes policies, guidelines, and regulations to carry out the objectives of the USGSA and the AMA. The USGSA, AMA, and related regulations can be found at the AMS website. The USGSA, with few exceptions, requires that grain sold for export and grain sold by grade be officially certified. Official services are also provided, upon request, for grain sold domestically. The AMA authorizes similar inspection and weighing services, upon request, for rice, pulses, flour, corn meal, and certain other agricultural products. Conversely, the regulations issued under the USGSA and AMA require that FGIS collect specific information and keep certain records necessary to carry out requests for official services. Applicants for service must specify the kind and level of service desired, the identification of the product, the location, the amount, and other pertinent information in order that official personnel can efficiently respond to their needs. Official services under the USGSA are provided by FGIS field offices and official agencies, which may be classified as delegated or designated agencies. Delegated agencies are State agencies delegated authority under the USGSA to provide official inspection and/or weighing services at export port locations in the State. Designated PO 00000 Frm 00001 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 agencies are State or local governmental agencies, or private agencies designated under the USGSA to provide official inspection and/or weighing services at locations other than export port locations. Official agencies provide services on behalf of FGIS and must comply with all regulations, procedures, and instructions in accordance with provisions established under the USGSA. FGIS oversees the performance of these agencies and provides technical guidance as needed. Official services under the AMA are performed, upon request, on a fee basis for domestic and export shipments either by FGIS employees, individual contractors, or cooperators. Contractors are persons who enter into a contract with FGIS to perform specified inspection services. Cooperators are agencies or departments of the Federal government which have an interagency agreement or State agencies which have a reimbursable agreement with FGIS. Need and Use of the Information: This information is used by USDA employees and State or private agencies authorized to perform official services under the USGSA or AMA. USGSA and the AMA regulations require that producers, elevators operators, and/or merchandisers who obtain official inspection, testing, and weighing services keep records pertaining to the lot of grain or related commodity for a period of 3 years. In addition, the regulations issued under the USGSA and the AMA require that FGIS, State, and private personnel who provide official inspection, testing, and weighing services keep such records pertaining to the lot of grain or related commodity for a period of 5 years. This information is used for the purpose of investigating alleged violations of the USGSA and AMA. Data is used for statistical purposes and the generation of reports within the agency and is shared within other USDA and government agencies as well as external stakeholders for statistical analysis.

    OMB Control Number: 0581-0309.
    Summary of Collection: Congress enacted the United States Grain 
Standards Acts (USGSA) and the Agricultural Marketing Act (AMA) to 
facilitate the marketing of grain, oilseeds, pulses, rice, and related 
commodities. These statutes establish standards and terms that 
accurately and consistently measure the quality of grain and related 
products, provide for uniform official inspection and weighing, provide 
regulatory and official service responsibilities, and furnish the 
framework for commodity quality improvement incentives to both domestic 
and foreign buyers. The Department of Agriculture (USDA) Agriculture 
Marketing Service's (AMS) Federal Grain Inspection Service (FGIS) 
establishes policies, guidelines, and regulations to carry out the 
objectives of the USGSA and the AMA. The USGSA, AMA, and related 
regulations can be found at the AMS website.
    The USGSA, with few exceptions, requires that grain sold for export 
and grain sold by grade be officially certified. Official services are 
also provided, upon request, for grain sold domestically. The AMA 
authorizes similar inspection and weighing services, upon request, for 
rice, pulses, flour, corn meal, and certain other agricultural 
products. Conversely, the regulations issued under the USGSA and AMA 
require that FGIS collect specific information and keep certain records 
necessary to carry out requests for official services. Applicants for 
service must specify the kind and level of service desired, the 
identification of the product, the location, the amount, and other 
pertinent information in order that official personnel can efficiently 
respond to their needs.
    Official services under the USGSA are provided by FGIS field 
offices and official agencies, which may be classified as delegated or

weighing services at export port locations in the State. Designated 
agencies are State or local governmental agencies, or private agencies 
designated under the USGSA to provide official inspection and/or 
weighing services at locations other than export port locations. 
Official agencies provide services on behalf of FGIS and must comply 
with all regulations, procedures, and instructions in accordance with 
provisions established under the USGSA. FGIS oversees the performance 
of these agencies and provides technical guidance as needed.
    Official services under the AMA are performed, upon request, on a 
fee basis for domestic and export shipments either by FGIS employees, 
individual contractors, or cooperators. Contractors are persons who 
enter into a contract with FGIS to perform specified inspection 
services. Cooperators are agencies or departments of the Federal 
government which have an interagency agreement or State agencies which 
have a reimbursable agreement with FGIS.
    Need and Use of the Information: This information is used by USDA 
employees and State or private agencies authorized to perform official 
services under the USGSA or AMA.
    USGSA and the AMA regulations require that producers, elevators 
operators, and/or merchandisers who obtain official inspection,

and weighing services keep such records pertaining to the lot of grain 
or related commodity for a period of 5 years. This information is used
