SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: Volunteer Service Agreements

OMB Control Number: 0579–XXXX. 

Type of Request: Approval of a new 

information collection. 

Abstract: Section 1526 of the Food 

and Agricultural Act of 1981 (7 U.S.C. 

2272) permits the Secretary of 

Agriculture to establish a program to use 

volunteers to carry out U.S. Department 

of Agriculture (USDA) programs. 

Departmental Regulation No. 4230–001, 

Volunteer Programs, provides the 

guidelines USDA agencies must use for 

acceptance of volunteers and sets a 

requirement for agencies to publish 

their guidelines. Regulations of the 

Office of Personnel Management (OPM) 

in 5 CFR part 308 provide agencies with 

the authority to establish programs 

designed to provide educationally 

related volunteer assignments for 

students in nonpay status. 

The Marketing and Regulatory 

Programs (MRP) mission area of USDA 

uses several information collection 

activities to assist MRP program 

officials, administrative personnel, and 

USDA Human Resources offices in 

determining a volunteer’s eligibility and 

suitability for volunteer service. The 

information is necessary to facilitate 

establishment of guidelines for 

acceptance of volunteer services under 

the above authorities and regulations,

eligibility and suitability to serve as a 

volunteer in MRP, and comply with 

OPM regulations requiring 

documentation of volunteer service and 

maintenance of records. 

We are asking the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) to 

approve our use of these information 

collection activities for 3 years. 

The purpose of this notice is to solicit 

comments from the public (as well as 

affected agencies) concerning our 

information collection. These comments 

will help us: 

(1) Evaluate whether the collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

Agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(2) Evaluate the accuracy of our 

estimate of the burden of the collection 

of information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be

(4) Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, through use, as 

appropriate, of automated, electronic, 

mechanical, and other collection 

technologies; e.g., permitting electronic 

submission of responses. 

Estimate of burden: The public 

reporting burden for this collection of 

information is estimated to average 0.22 

hours per response. 

Respondents: Individuals engaged in 

activities for which they are not paid, 

except for authorized expenses 

associated with performance of 

volunteer activities. 

Estimated annual number of 

respondents: 85. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses per respondent: 2. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses: 170. 

Estimated total annual burden on 

respondents: 38 hours. (Due to 

averaging, the total annual burden hours 

may not equal the product of the annual 

number of responses multiplied by the 

reporting burden per response.) 

All responses to this notice will be 

summarized and included in the request 

for OMB approval. All comments will

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: Lacey Act Declaration 

Requirement; Plants and Plant Products. 

OMB Control Number: 0579–0349. 

Type of Request: Revision to and 

extension of approval of an information 

collection. 

Abstract: The Lacey Act, as amended, 

makes it unlawful to import, export, 

transport, sell, receive, acquire, or 

purchase in interstate or foreign 

commerce any plant, with some limited 

exceptions, taken, possessed, 

transported, or sold in violation of the 

laws of the United States, a State, an 

Indian tribe, or any foreign law that 

protects plants. The Act also makes it 

unlawful to make or submit any false 

record, account, or label for, or any false 

identification of, any plant covered by 

the Act. 

In addition, section 3 of the Act 

makes it unlawful to import certain 

plants and plant products without an 

import declaration. The declaration 

must contain, among other things, the 

scientific name of the plant, value of the 

importation, quantity of the plant, and 

name of the country in which the plant 

was harvested. For paper and 

paperboard products with recycled 

plant content, the importer is not 

required to specify the species or 

country of harvest with respect to the 

recycled plant product component, but 

is required to provide the average 

percentage of recycled content. If the 

product also contains non-recycled 

plant materials, the basic declaration 

requirements still apply to that 

component of the product imported. 

In addition to the declaration, there is 

a supplemental form that must be 

completed if additional space is needed 

to declare additional plants and plant 

products. Also, records of the import 

declaration and supplemental form 

must be retained for at least 5 years. 

We are asking the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) to 

approve our use of these information 

collection activities, as described, for an 

additional 3 years. 

The purpose of this notice is to solicit 

comments from the public (as well as 

affected agencies) concerning our 

information collection. These comments 

will help us: 

(1) Evaluate whether the collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

Agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(2) Evaluate the accuracy of our 

estimate of the burden of the collection 

of information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used;
