*Title:*                     Specialty Crop Block Grant Program (SCBGP).                

*OMB Control Number:*                     0581-0239.                

*Summary of Collection:*                     The Specialty Crops Competitiveness Act of 2004, (Pub. L. 108-465) (Act) authorized the Secretary of Agriculture to make grants to States (at the time, defined to mean the 50 States, the District of Columbia, and Commonwealth of Puerto Rico), for each of the fiscal years 2005 through 2009 to be used by State departments of agriculture solely to enhance the competitiveness of specialty crops. These grant funds were previously applied for and awarded to eligible State departments of agriculture under the Specialty Crop Block Grant Program (SCBGP). Therefore, State departments of agriculture can no longer apply for grants under the SCBGP.                

*Need and Use of the Information:*                     The SCBGP is still in effect because grant periods can be up to three years in length and currently, State departments of agriculture are reporting on previously awarded grants. Data collected is the minimum information necessary to effectively carry out the program, and to fulfill the intent of Section 101 of the Act. The information collection requirements apply only to those State departments of agriculture who voluntarily participate in SCBGP. The information collected is needed to certify that grant participants are complying with applicable program regulations. The Agricultural Marketing Service is reviewing annual and final performance reports, grant amendments, and financial status reports for the SCBGP.                

*Description of Respondents:*                     State Agricultural Departments.                

*Number of Respondents:*                     52.                

*Frequency of Responses:*                     Reporting: Annually; Recordkeeping.                

*Total Burden Hours:*                     351.
