SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Lamb Promotion, Research, and 

Information Program. 

OMB Number: 0581–0198. 

Expiration Date of Approval: 

September 30, 2010. 

Type of Request: Extension and 

revision of a currently approved 

information collection. 

Abstract: The current information 

collection is essential to carry out the 

intent of the Commodity Promotion, 

Research, and Information Act of 1996 

(Act) (7 U.S.C. 7411 et seq.) and the 

Lamb Promotion, Research, and 

Information Order (Order) (7 CFR 1280). 

While the Order imposes certain 

recordkeeping requirements on persons 

subject to the Order, some information 

required under the Order can be 

compiled from records currently 

maintained. The forms covered under 

this collection require the minimum 

information necessary to effectively 

carry out the requirements of the order, 

and their use is necessary to fulfill the 

intents of the Act as expressed in the 

order. Information required can be 

supplied without data processing 

equipment or outside technical 

expertise. In addition, there are no 

training requirements for individuals 

filling out the forms. The forms are 

simple, easy to understand, and place as 

small a burden as possible on those 

required to file information. 

USDA requires several forms to be 

filed in order to enable the 

administration of the program. These 

include forms covering the selection 

process for industry members to serve 

on a board, ballots used in referenda, 

and assessment forms. 

The timing and frequency of 

collecting information are intended to 

meet the needs of the industry while 

minimizing the amount of work 

necessary to fill out the required reports. 

In addition, the information included on 

these forms is not available from other 

industry sources because such 

information relates specifically to 

individuals or organizations subject to 

the provisions of the Act. 

We estimate the paperwork and time 

burden of the above referenced 

information collection to be as follows: 

Estimate of Burden: Public reporting 

burden for this collection of information 

is estimated to average 0.99 hours per 

response. 

Respondents: Producers, seedstock 

producers, market agencies, first 

handlers, feeders, and exporters. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

555. 

Estimated Number of Responses per 

Respondent: 11. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 6,015.75. 

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 

for those who are to respond, including 

the use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

All responses to this notice will be 

summarized and included in the request 

for OMB approval. All comments will 

become a matter of public record. 

Dated: July 27, 2010.

Acting Administrator, Agricultural Marketing 

Service.
