31, 1998.

Type of Request: Extension of

currently approved information

collection.

Abstract: The information collected

under OMB Control Number 0560–0151,

as identified above, ensures that

Canadian wheat does not benefit from

USDA or Commodity Credit Corporation

assisted export programs. To comply

with the provisions of the North

information from the importers,

subsequent buyers, and end-users that

will assist in tracking the Canadian

wheat within the U.S. marketing system.

Estimate of Burden: Public reporting

burden for this information collection is

estimated to average 0.2 hours per

response.

Respondents: Wheat importers,

traders, and end-users.

Estimated Number of Respondents:

430.

Estimated Number of Responses per

Respondent: 66.

Estimated Total Annual Burden on

Respondents: 5,676 hours.

Proposed topics for comment include:

(a) Whether the continued collection of

information is necessary for the proper

performance of the functions of the

agency, including whether the

information will have practical utility;

(b) the accuracy of the FSA’s estimate of

burden including the validity of the

methodology and assumptions used; (c)

enhancing the quality, utility, and

clarity of the information collected; or

(d) minimizing the burden of the

collection of the information on those

who are to respond, including the use

of appropriate automated, electronic,

mechanical, or other technological

collection techniques or other forms of

information technology. Comments

should be sent to the Desk Officer for

Agriculture, Office of Information and

Regulatory Affairs, Office of

Management and Budget, Washington,

D.C. 20503 and to Charles Emler at the

address listed above. All comments will

become a matter of public record.

OMB is required to make a decision

concerning the collection(s) of

information contained in these

proposed regulations between 30 and 60

days after publication of this document

in the Federal Register. Therefore, a

comment to OMB is best assured of

having its full effect if OMB receives it

within 30 days of publication.
