SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Tart Cherries Grown in 

Michigan, New York, Pennsylvania, 

Oregon, Utah, Washington and 

Wisconsin, Marketing Order No. 930 (7 

CFR part 930). 

OMB Number: 0581–0177. 

Expiration Date of Approval: August 

31, 2010. 

Type of Request: Extension and 

revision of a currently approved 

information collection. 

Abstract: Marketing order programs 

provide an opportunity for producers of 

fresh fruits, vegetables and specialty 

crops, in a specified production area, to 

work together to solve marketing 

problems that cannot be solved 

individually. Under the authority of the 

Agricultural Marketing Agreement Act 

of 1937 (AMAA), as amended (7 U.S.C. 

601–674), industries may enter into 

marketing orders. The Secretary of 

Agriculture oversees their operations 

and issues regulations recommended by 

a committee of representatives from 

each commodity industry. 

The information collection 

requirements in this request are 

essential to carry out the intent of the 

AMAA, and to administer the program, 

which has operated since 1996. 

The tart cherry marketing order (7 

CFR part 930) regulates the handling of 

tart cherries in Michigan, New York, 

Pennsylvania, Oregon, Utah, 

Washington, and Wisconsin, hereinafter 

referred to as the ‘‘order.’’ The order 

authorizes volume regulations that 

provide for a reserve pool in times of 

heavy cherry supplies. Provisions not 

currently in use include minimum grade 

and size regulations, and market 

research and development projects, 

including paid advertising. 

The order, and rules and regulations 

issued there under, authorize the Cherry 

Industry Administrative Board (Board), 

the agency responsible for local 

administration of the order, to require 

handlers and growers to submit certain 

information. Much of this information is 

compiled in aggregate and provided to 

the industry to assist in carrying out 

marketing decisions. 

The Board has developed forms as a 

means for persons to file the required 

and minimum necessary information 

with the Board relating to tart cherry 

inventories, shipments, diversions, and 

other information needed to effectively 

carry out the requirements of the order, 

and their use is necessary to fulfill the 

intent of the AMAA as expressed in the 

order. Since this order regulates canned 

and frozen forms of tart cherries, 

reporting requirements will be in effect 

all year. A USDA form is used to allow 

growers to vote on amendments or 

continuance of the marketing order. In 

addition, tart cherry growers and 

handlers who are nominated by their 

peers to serve as representatives on the 

Board must file nomination forms with 

the Secretary. Formal rulemaking 

amendments to the order must be 

approved in grower referenda 

conducted by the Secretary. In addition, 

USDA may conduct a referendum to 

determine industry support for 

continuation of the order. Finally, 

handlers are asked to sign an agreement 

to indicate their willingness to comply 

with the provisions of the order if the 

order is amended. These forms are 

included in this request. 

The information collected is used 

only by authorized representatives of 

the USDA, including AMS, Fruit and 

Vegetable Programs’ regional and 

headquarter’s staff, and authorized 

employees of the Board. Authorized

the primary users of the information, 

and AMS is the secondary user.

burden for this collection of information 

is estimated to average .183 hours per 

response.

for-profit businesses handling fresh and 

processed tart cherries produced in 

Michigan, New York, Pennsylvania,

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. Chapter 35), this notice 

announces the Agricultural Marketing 

Service’s (AMS) intention to request for 

renewal a recordkeeping burden for the

and grapes.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Export Fruit Regulations— 

Export Apple Act (7 CFR part 33) and 

the Export Grape and Plum Act (7 CFR 

part 35). 

OMB Number: 0581–0143. 

Expiration Date of Approval: 

November 30, 2010. 

Type of Request: Request for Renewal 

of a Recordkeeping Burden. 

Abstract: Fresh apples and grapes 

grown in the United States shipped to 

any foreign destination must meet 

minimum quality and other 

requirements established by regulations 

issued under the Export Apple Act (7 

U.S.C. 581–590) and the Export Grape 

and Plum Act (7 U.S.C. 591–599)(Acts), 

which are found respectively at 7 CFR 

parts 33 and 35. Currently, plums are 

not regulated under the Act. The 

regulations issued under the Acts cover 

exports of fresh apples and grapes 

grown in the United States and shipped 

to foreign destinations, except Canada 

and Mexico. Certain limited quantity 

provisions may exempt some shipments 

and exporters from this information 

collection. The Secretary of Agriculture 

is authorized to oversee the 

implementation of the Acts and issue 

regulations regarding that activity. 

The information collection 

requirements in this request are 

essential to carry out the intent and 

administration of the Acts. Both Acts 

were designed to promote foreign trade 

in the export of apples, grapes and 

plums grown in the United States; to 

protect the reputation of the Americangrown commodities; and to prevent 

deception or misrepresentation of the 

quality of such products moving in 

foreign commerce. The Acts have been 

in effect since 1933 (apples) and 1960 

(grapes). 

Specific regulations issued under the 

Acts (7 CFR § 33.11 for apples, and 

§ 35.12 for grapes) require that the U.S. 

Department of Agriculture (USDA) 

officially inspect and certify that each 

export shipment of fresh apples and 

grapes is in compliance with quality 

and shipping requirements effective 

under the Acts. Shipments are inspected 

and certified by Federal or Federal-State 

Inspection Program (FSIP) inspectors. 

FSIP is administered by USDA. 

The information collection 

requirements in this request impose the 

minimum burden necessary to 

effectively administer the Acts. 

The information collection burden for 

this action is primarily in the form of 

recordkeeping. Export Form Certificates 

(certificates) issued by FSIP are used to 

facilitate the export process. The 

certificates are not completed by the 

exporters or carriers and are not filed 

with USDA. The certificates are retained 

by each exporter, and third party carrier 

which ships the commodity, to verify 

their compliance with the Acts. There 

are an estimated 80 exporters of apples 

and grapes and an estimated 20 carriers 

which transport those shipments. 

Pursuant to the Acts, exporters and 

carriers must retain inspection 

certificates for three (3) years. 

Estimate of Burden: Public reporting 

burden for this collection of information 

is estimated to average .25 hours per 

response. 

Recordkeepers: Apple and grape 

exporters and carriers. 

Estimated Number of Recordkeepers: 

100. 

Estimated Number of Responses per 

Respondent: 1. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 25 hours. 

Comments are invited on: (1) Whether 

the proposed collection of information 

is necessary for the proper performance
