SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: List of Commodities by Firm

Available for Exporting (U.S. Supplier

Listing) OMB Number 0551–0031.

Expiration Date of Approval: July 31,

1998.

Type of Request: Extension and

revision of a currently approved

information collection.

Abstract: The List of Commodities by

Firm Available for Exporting is a service

provided to any foreign buyer, or other

U.S. agent or broker. This service is

intended to assist foreign buyers to

contact U.S. exporters or small and

medium size U.S. companies about

purchasing products. The lists are

contained in a searchable database on

CD rom that is distributed to USDA

overseas offices. It is a tool for offices to

use in responding to requests from

foreign buyers and importers to help

them find a U.S. supplier of food, farm,

and forest products. An exporter may be

listed in a number of products areas.

Each listing provides a product

description and information about the

exporter. This information is collected

by the USDA from a registration form

which the exporter completes followed

by a qualification process before the

exporter is listed in the database. The

database is necessary to facilitate

effective advertisement and marketing

of the U.S. agricultural product in

overseas markets. Authority for this

program falls under 7 U.S.C. Part 1761.

The program is voluntary. A small fee

is charged for use of the service in the

domestic United States and is free

through USDA’s overseas offices.

Estimate of Burden: The burden to

U.S. exporters is estimated to average

0.25 hours per response.

Respondents: U.S. agricultural

exporters of food, farm, and forest

products.

Estimated Number of Respondents:

4500 per annum.

Estimated Number of Responses: 1

per annum.

Estimated Total Annual Burden of

Respondents: 1,125 hours per annum.

Copies of this information collection

can be obtained from Valerie Countiss,

the Agency Information Collection

Coordinator, at (202) 720–6713.

All responses to this notice will be

summarized and included in the request

for OMB approval. All comments will

also become a matter of public record.
