Title: Tobacco Reports. 

OMB Control Number: 0581–0004. 

Summary of Collection: The Tobacco 

Statistics Act of 1929 (7 U.S.C. 501–508) 

provides for the collection and 

publication of statistics of tobacco by 

USDA with regard to quantity of leaf 

tobacco in all forms in the United States 

and Puerto, owned by or in the 

possession of dealers, manufacturers, 

growers’ cooperative associations, and 

others with the exception of the original 

growers of the tobacco. The information 

furnished under the provisions of this 

Act shall be used only for statistical 

purposes for which it is supplied. 

Need and Use of the Information: The 

basic purpose of the information 

collection is to ascertain the total supply 

of unmanufactured tobacco available to 

domestic manufacturers and to calculate 

the amount consumed in manufactured 

tobacco products. This data is also used 

for the calculation of production quotas 

for individual types of tobacco and for 

price support calculations. Without the 

information USDA would not be able to 

disseminate marketing information as 

directed and authorized in the Act. 

Description of Respondents: Business 

or other for-profit.

standards of quality, grades, grading 

programs, and services to enable a more 

orderly marketing of agricultural 

products so trading may be facilitated 

and so consumers may be able to obtain 

products graded and identified under 

USDA programs. The Agricultural 

Marketing Service (AMS) carries out 

regulations, which provide a voluntary 

program for grading shell eggs on the 

basis of U.S. standards, grades, and 

weight classes. In addition, the shell egg 

industry and users of the products have 

requested that other types of voluntary 

services be developed and provided 

under these regulations. This program is 

voluntary where respondents would 

need to request or apply for the specific 

service they wish. 

Need and Use of the Information: 

Only authorized representatives of the 

USDA use the information collected. 

The information is used to administer, 

conduct and carry out the grading 

services requested by the respondents. If 

the information were not collected, the 

agency would not be able to provide the 

voluntary grading service authorized 

and requested by congress, provide the 

types of services requested by industry, 

administer the program, ensure properly 

grade-labeled products, calculate the 

cost of the service or collect for the cost 

furnishing service.

Rural Utilities Service 

Title: Public Television Digital 

Transition Grant Program 

OMB Control Number: 0572–0134 

Summary of Collection: The Omnibus 

Appropriations Act (Pub. L. 108–7) 

provided grant funds in the Distance 

Learning and Telemedicine Grant 

Program budget, the Consolidated 

Appropriations Act (Pub. L. 108–199) 

and the Consolidated Appropriations 

Act, 2005 (Pub. L. 108–447) provided 

additional funds for public broadcasting 

systems to meet the digital transition. 

As part of the nation’s transition to 

digital television, the Federal 

Communications Commission (FCC) 

required all television broadcasters to 

initiate the broadcast of a digital 

television signal and to cease analog 

television broadcasts on February 18, 

2009. While stations must broadcast its 

main transmitter signal in digital, many 

rural stations often have translators 

serving small or isolated areas and some 

of these have not completed the 

transition to digital or fully converted 

its production and studio equipment to 

digital. Because the FCC deadline did 

not apply to translators, they are 

allowed to continue broadcasting in 

analog. The digital transition also 

created some service gaps where 

households receiving an analog signal 

cannot receive a digital signal. For these 

reasons the grant program has continued 

past the FCC digital transition deadline 

of June 2009. The Rural Utilities Service 

(RUS) will develop and issue 

requirements for the grant program to 

finance the conversion of television 

services from analog to digital 

broadcasting for public television 

stations serving rural areas. 

Need and Use of the Information: 

Applicants will submit grant 

applications to RUS for review. The 

information will consist of the 

following: Standard Form (SF) 424, 

‘‘Application for Federal Assistance, 

executive summary, evidence of 

eligibility and compliance with other 

Federal statutes and any other 

supporting documentation. RUS will 

use the information to score and rank 

applications for funding. Scoring will 

consist of three categories: Rurality; per 

capita income; and special 

disadvantaging factors facing the 

station’s transition plans. If this 

information is not collected, there 

would be no basis for awarding grant 

funding.

Food Safety and Inspection Service 

[Docket No. FSIS–2005–0044] 

Not Applying the Mark of Inspection 

Pending Certain Test Results 

AGENCY: Food Safety and Inspection 

Service, USDA. 

ACTION: Notice; Request for comment. 

SUMMARY: The Food Safety and 

Inspection Service (FSIS) is announcing 

its intention to change its procedures 

and withhold a determination as to 

whether meat and poultry products are 

not adulterated, and thus eligible to 

enter commerce, until all test results 

that bear on the determination have 

been received. Inspection program 

personnel periodically sample products 

for adulterants to verify an 

establishment’s regulatory compliance. 

The Agency’s practice has been to allow 

these products to bear the mark of 

inspection, and to enter commerce, even 

though the test results have not been 

received. FSIS has asked, but has not 

required, official establishments to 

maintain control of products 

represented by a sample pending test 

results. 

Because establishments, including 

official import inspection
