Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB), OIRA_Submission@omb.eop.gov

Departmental Clearance Office, USDA, 

OCIO, Mail Stop 7602, Washington, DC 

20250–7602. Comments regarding these

Agricultural Research Service 

Title: Supplemental Nutrition 

Assistance Program Connection 

Resource Sharing Form. 

OMB Control Number: 0518–0031. 

Summary of Collection: In 2008, the 

Food Stamp Program was renamed the 

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance 

Program (SNAP) and the Food Stamp 

Nutrition Connection became the 

SNAP–ED Connection. Date collected 

using this form helps the SNAP–Ed 

Connection staff identify nutrition 

education and training resources for 

review and inclusion into the SNAP–Ed 

Connection’s Resource Finder Database. 

State and local SNAP–Ed providers can 

use this database to identify and acquire 

existing, available nutrition education 

materials. 

Need and Use of the Information: 

SNAP–ED Connection staff members 

use information collected by the 

Resource Sharing Form to build and 

constantly enhance the online database 

of nutrition education and training 

materials known as the Resource Finder 

Database. SNAP–Ed providers access 

and use the database to identify and 

obtain curricula, lesson plan, research, 

training tools and participant materials. 

Vital information about these resources, 

such as a description of the resource, its 

creator, publisher and ordering 

information is collected using the 

Resource Sharing Form. Failure to 

collect this information would 

significantly inhibit SNAP–Ed 

Connection ability to provide up-to-date 

information on existing nutrition 

education materials that are appropriate 

for SNAP–Ed programs and providers. 

Description of Respondents: Not-forprofit institutions; State, Local or Tribal 

Government. 

Number of Respondents: 50. 

Frequency of Responses: Reporting: 

On occasion. 

Total Burden Hours: 16.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: 

Specified Commodities Imported Into 

the United States Exempt from Import 

Requirements. 

OMB Number: 0581–0167. 

Expiration Date of Approval: 

December 31, 2011. 

Type of Request: Extension of a 

currently-approved information 

collection. 

Abstract: Section 8e of the 

Agricultural Marketing Agreement Act 

of 1937 as amended (7 U.S.C. 601–674; 

Act) requires that whenever the 

Secretary of Agriculture issues grade, 

size, quality, or maturity regulations 

under domestic marketing orders, the 

same or comparable regulations must be 

issued for imported commodities. 

Import regulations apply only during 

those periods when domestic marketing 

order regulations are in effect. 

Currently, the following commodities 

are subject to section 8e import 

regulations: Avocados; grapefruit; 

kiwifruit; olives; oranges; fresh prunes; 

table grapes; potatoes; onions; tomatoes; 

dates (other than dates for processing); 

walnuts; dried prunes (suspended); 

raisins; and hazelnuts. Imports of these 

commodities are exempt from section 8e 

requirements if they are imported for 

such outlets as processing, charity, 

animal feed, seed, and distribution to 

relief agencies when those outlets are 

exempt under the applicable marketing 

orders. 

Safeguard procedures in the form of 

importer and receiver reporting 

requirements are used to ensure that the 

imported commodities are, in fact, 

shipped to authorized, exempt outlets. 

Reports required under the safeguard 

procedure are similar to the reports 

currently required by most domestic 

marketing orders, and are required of 

importers and receivers under the 

following import regulations: (1) Fruits; 

import regulations (7 CFR 944.350); (2) 

vegetables; import regulations (7 CFR 

980.501); and (3) specialty crops; import 

regulations (7 CFR 999.500). 

Under these regulations, importers 

wishing to import commodities for 

exempt purposes must complete form 

FV–6, the ‘‘Importer’s Exempt 

Commodity Form,’’ prior to importation, 

through the Marketing Order Online 

System (MOLS). Launched in August 

2008, MOLS is an Internet-based 

application, managed by the USDA, 

which allows importers and receivers of 

fruit, vegetable, and specialty crops to 

review and search for FV–6 certificates 

online. If an importer correctly inputs 

his shipment data into MOLS, he will 

receive and be able to print a certificate 

that accompanies the shipment. Data are 

simultaneously transmitted to the 

receiver and to AMS, where it is 

reviewed for compliance purposes by 

Marketing Order Administration Branch 

(MOAB) staff, in the USDA’s Fruit and 

Vegetable Programs. 

In rare instances a paper form FV–6 

may be used. The hardcopy form has 

four parts, which are distributed as 

follows: Copy one is presented to the 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection, 

Department of Homeland Security; copy 

two is filed with MOAB within two 

days of the commodity entering the 

United States; copy three accompanies 

the exempt shipment to its intended 

destination, where the receiver certifies 

its receipt and that it will be used for 

exempt purposes, and files that copy 

with MOAB within two days of receipt; 

and copy four is retained by the 

importer. 

USDA utilizes this information to 

ensure that imported goods destined for 

exempt outlets are given no less 

favorable treatment that that afforded to 

domestic goods destined for the same 

exempt outlets. These exemptions are 

consistent with section 8e import 

regulations under the Act. 

In addition to renewing the FV–6 

form, this information collection 

package does the same for the FV–7 

form, ‘‘Civil Penalty Stipulation 

Agreement.’’ Produce importers sign the 

FV–7 form, for which there is no burden 

associated because only a signature is 

required, to admit that they violated 

section 8e import requirements and are 

seeking a reduced fine or penalty. 

The information collected through 

this package is used primarily by 

authorized representatives of the USDA, 

including AMS Fruit and Vegetable 

Programs regional and headquarters 

staff. 

Estimate of Burden: The public 

reporting burden for this collection of 

information is estimated to average 5 

minutes per response. 

Respondents: Importers and receivers 

of exempt commodities. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

250. 

Estimated Number of Total Annual 

Responses: 8,454.70. 

Estimated Number of Responses per 

Respondent: 33.82 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 697.59 hours. 

Comments are invited on: (1) Whether 

the proposed collection of information 

is necessary for the proper performance 

of the functions of the Agency, 

including whether the information will 

have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of 

the Agency’s estimate of the burden of 

the proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; (3) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (4) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on those who are to respond, including 

through the use of appropriate 

automated, electronic, mechanical, or 

other technological collection 

techniques or other forms of information 

technology. 

All comments to this document will 

be summarized and included in the 

request for OMB approval, and will 

become a matter of public record.
