Agricultural Marketing Service

    Title: Export Inspection and Weighing Waiver for High Quality 
Specialty Grains Transported in Containers Under the Authority of the 
United States Grain Standards Act.
    OMB Control Number: 0581-0306.
    Summary of Collection: The United States Grain Standards Act, as 
amended (7 U.S.C. 71-87) (USGSA), with few exceptions, requires that 
all grain shipped from the United States must be officially inspected 
and weighed. Section 7 CFR 800.18 of the regulations waives the 
mandatory inspection and weighing requirements of the USGSA for high 
quality specialty grain exported in containers. The Federal Grain 
Inspection Service (FGIS) established this waiver to facilitate the 
marketing of high quality specialty grain exported in containers.
    Need and Use of the Information: To comply with the waiver of the 
mandatory inspection and weighing requirements, FGIS is asking 
exporters of high quality specialty grain transported in containers to 
maintain records generated during the normal course of business that 
pertain to these shipments and make these documents available to FGIS 
upon request for review or copying purposes. These records are 
maintained for a period of 3 years. This requirement is essential to 
ensure that exporters who ship high quality specialty grain in 
containers comply with the waiver requirements.
    Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents: 40.
    Frequency of Responses: Recordkeeping.
    Total Burden Hours: 240.

Departmental Information Collection Clearance Officer.
