SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

notice announces the intention of the

and Farm Service Agency (FSA) to

request a reinstatement, without change,

of a previously approved information

collection for which approval has

expired in support of the nonrefundable

marketing assessment due CCC on sugar

processed from domestically grown

OMB Control Number: 0560–0134.

Type of Request: Reinstatement,

without change, of a previously

approved collection for which approval

has expired.

Abstract: The information collected

under Office of Management and Budget

(OMB) Control Number 0560–0134, as

indicated above, is needed to determine

nonrefundable marketing assessments

due CCC from the first processors’

marketing of domestically grown sugar

beets and sugarcane. The Sugar

Processor’s Report of Monthly

Marketing To Determine Assessment

Due the Commodity Credit Corporation

(Form CCC–80) is submitted to the FSA,

Kansas City Management Office. The

information collected is used to classify

cash received by CCC, determine who

the remitter is, record assessment

collected, and determine program

compliance. Respondents record the

total pounds of raw cane sugar and total

beet sugar marketed during the month.

These amounts are multiplied by the

assessment rate (7 CFR 1435.201) to

compute the total assessment due CCC.

Interest and penalty amounts due CCC

(7 CFR 1435.203) are also included on

Form CCC–80. If any fees for dishonored

checks are due CCC, the remitter enters

this amount also. The total of all the

amounts is entered, the responsible

official signs Form CCC–80 and submits

the report with a check, or uses

electronic remittance.

Estimate of Burden: Public reporting

burden for this information collection is

estimated to average 90 minutes, per

response.

Respondents: First processors of

domestically grown sugarcane or sugar

beets.

Estimated Number of Respondents:

63.

Estimated Number of Responses per

Respondent: 12.

Estimated Total Annual Burden on

Respondents: 1,134 hours.

Proposed topics for comments

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

agency’s estimate of burden including

the validity of the methodology and

assumptions used; (c) ways to enhance

the quality, utility, and clarity of the

information to be collected; or (d) ways

to minimize the burden of the collection

of the 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. Comments

should be sent to Desk Officer for

Agriculture, Office of Information and

Regulatory Affairs, Office of

Management and Budget, Washington,

obtained from Walter Porzel at the

this notice will be summarized and

included in the request for OMB

approval. All comments will become a

matter of public record.

concerning the collection of information

contained in these proposed regulations

between 30 and 60 days after

publication of this document in the

to OMB is best assured of having its full

effect if OMB receives it within 30 days
