Need and Use of the Information: 

APHIS will collect information through 

a compliance agreement to establish 

restrictions on the interstate movement 

of nursery stock from nurseries in nonquarantined counties in California, 

Oregon, and Washington. If California, 

Oregon, and Washington State did not

eastern forests adversely impacting the 

ecosystem balances, foreign/domestic 

nursery stocks, and lumber markets.

Agricultural Marketing Service 

Title: Reporting and Recordkeeping 

Requirements for 7 CFR part 29. 

OMB Control Number: 0581–0056. 

Summary of Collection: The Fair and 

Equitable Tobacco Reform Act of 2004 

(7 U.S.C. 518) eliminated price supports 

and marketing quotas for all tobacco 

beginning with the 2005 crop year. 

Mandatory inspection and grading of 

domestic and imported tobacco was 

eliminated as well as the mandatory 

pesticide testing of imported tobacco 

and the tobacco Market News Program. 

The Tobacco Inspection Act (U.S.C. 511) 

requires that all tobacco sold at 

designated auction markets in the U.S. 

be inspected and graded. Provision is 

also made for interested parties to 

request inspection, pesticide testing and 

grading services on an ‘‘as needed’’ basis. 

Need and Use of the Information: 

Information is collected through various 

forms and other documents for the 

inspection and certification process. 

Upon receiving request information 

from tobacco dealers and/or 

manufacturers, tobacco inspectors will 

pull samples and apply U.S. Standard 

Grades to samples to provide a Tobacco 

Inspection Certificate (TB–92). Also, 

samples can be submitted to a USDA 

laboratory for pesticide testing and a 

detailed analysis is provided to the 

customer.

Title: USDA Food Connect Web site. 

OMB Control Number: 0581–0224. 

Summary of Collection: The USDA 

Food Connect Web site (previously 

known as the USDA Food and 

Commodity Connection Web site) 

operates pursuant to the authority of 

Section 32 of Public Law 320, Section 

8 of the Child Nutrition Act of 1966 (42 

U.S.C. 1777) and the National School 

Lunch Program, 7 CFR part 210. It was 

developed to assist the institutional 

food service community across the 

United States. The Web site focuses on 

providing information to institutional 

food service professions, as well as 

providing a platform for processors, 

distributors, and brokers to post 

information about their processed 

USDA supplied commodities and other 

commercial food products available for 

institutional food service purchase. The 

USDA Food Connect Web site provides 

food related associations a location to 

provide information on services and 

materials available from the 

organization. The Web site is a public 

Web site and the information provided 

is considered as public information. 

Need and use of the Information: The 

USDA Food Connect Web site will 

collect all information electronically at 

one time upon registration. Each new 

user must create their individual login 

and password. There are five types of 

users; institutional food service 

professionals, processors, distributors, 

brokers and food related associations. 

The Food Connect Web site is designed 

as a central location in which 

institutional food service professionals, 

who provide meals in institutional 

settings, can locate processors who 

manufacture foods utilizing USDA 

provided commodities, distributors who 

distribute the manufactured food, 

brokers who represent the processors, 

and food related associations. No 

information is collected from a user 

when they access the Web site as a 

guest.

Agricultural Marketing Service 

Title: Domestic Origin Verification 

System Questionnaire and Regulations 

Governing Inspection and Certification 

of Processed Fruits and Vegetables and 

Related Products. 

OMB Control Number: 0581–0234. 

Summary of Collection: The 

Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946 (7 

U.S.C. 1621–1627) directs and 

authorizes the Department to develop 

standards of quality, grades, grading 

programs, and other services to facilitate 

trading of agricultural products and 

assure consumers of quality products 

which are graded and identified under 

USDA programs. The voluntary 

inspection and grading services of 

processed fruits and vegetables are on a 

fee for service basis. The collection of 


emcdonald on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with NOTICES
75954 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 234 / Tuesday, December 7, 2010 / Notices 

information regarding the requirement 

for companies to ensure domestic origin 

of the products they deliver to the 

USDA Purchase Program is provided for 

in the ‘‘General Terms and Conditions 

for Procurement of Agricultural 

Commodities of Services,’’ (USDA–1). 

The Domestic Origin Verification 

System Program (DOVS) is a voluntary 

audit and verification user-fee service 

available to suppliers, processors, and 

any financially interested party. It is 

designed to provide validation of the 

applicant’s domestic origin verification 

system prior to bidding on contracts to 

supply food products to the 

Department’s Feeding programs, and/or 

may be conducted after a contract is 

awarded. Participation in DOVS does 

not relieve a company of its contractual 

requirements to provide only domestic 

origin product to the USDA. 

Need and use of the Information: the 

Agricultural Marketing Services uses 

various forms to collect data for grading 

and certification purposes and for hiring 

licensed samplers. The information 

collected is used to hire prospective 

employees desiring to become licensed 

to sample processed foods and to certify 

as to the identification, location, kinds 

and condition of containers of processed 

products that are sampled. 

An interested company requests a 

DOVS questionnaire, and once 

completed it contains the applicant’s 

procedures to ensure fruit, nut or 

vegetable components or products can 

be traced back to their domestic origin; 

use of a segregation plan to keep all 

non-domestic components or products 

separate from domestic products; for 

taking corrective action on 

nonconformities and deficiencies; for 

checking the adequacy of their internal 

system of ensuring domestic origin; 

instructing employees in the domestic 

origin requirement and for maintaining 

records relating to the applicant’s 

domestic origin verification system. 

These elements should be in place 

whether or not the applicant is on the 

DOVS program or providing a trace-back 

on every contract. DOVS assists 

companies to meet the domestic origin 

requirement for the USDA Purchase 

Program efficiently and eliminates the 

redundancy of the trace paperwork that 

is required for every USDA contract.

Agricultural Marketing Service 

Title: Cotton Classing, Testing, and 

Standards. 

OMB Control Number: 0581–0008. 

Summary of Collection: The U.S. 

Cotton Standards Act, 7 U.S.C. 51 53 

and 55, authorizes the USDA to 

supervise the various activities directly 

associated with the classification or 

grading of cotton, cotton linters, and 

cottonseed based on official USDA 

Standards. The Cotton Program of the 

Agricultural Marketing Service carries 

out this supervision and is responsible 

for the maintenance of the functions to 

which these forms relate. USDA is the 

only Federal agency authorized to 

establish and promote the use of the 

official cotton standards of the U.S. in 

interstate and foreign commerce and to 

supervise the various activities 

associated with the classification or 

grading of cotton, cotton linters, and 

cottonseed based on official USDA 

standards. 

Need and Use of the Information: The 

Agricultural Marketing Service uses the 

following forms to collection 

information: 

Form FD–210 is submitted by owners 

of cotton to request cotton classification 

services. The request contains 

information for USDA to ascertain 

proper ownership of the samples 

submitted, to distribute classification 

results, and bill for services. Information 

about the origin and handling of the 

cotton is necessary in order to properly 

evaluate and classify the samples. 

Form CN–246 is submitted by cotton 

gins and warehouses seeking to serve as 

licensed samplers. Licenses issued by 

the USDA–AMS Cotton Program 

authorize the warehouse/gin to draw 

and submit samples to insure the proper 

application of standards in the 

classification of cotton and to prevent 

deception in their use. 

Form CN–383 is a package of forms 

designated as CN–383–a through CN– 

383–k that is submitted by cotton 

producers, ginners, warehousemen, 

cooperatives, manufacturers, merchants, 

and crushers interested in acquiring 

cotton classification standards and 

round testing services.
