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.

Dated: June 22, 2011.
