Grain Inspection, Packers and 

Stockyard Administration 

Title: Export Inspection and Weighing 

Waiver for High Quality Specialty 

Grains Transported in Containers. 

OMB Control Number: 0580–0022. 

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. The 

Grain Inspection, Packers and 

Stockyards Administration (GIPSA) 

amended section 7 CFR 800.18 of the 

regulations to waive the mandatory 

inspection and weighing requirements 

of the USGSA for high quality specialty 

grain exported in containers. GIPSA 

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, GIPSA requires exporters 

of high quality specialty grain to 

maintain records generated during the 

normal course of business that pertain 

to these shipments and make these 

documents available to GIPSA upon 

request for review or copying purposes. 

These records are maintained for a 

period of 3 years. This requirement is 

essential to ensure exporters of 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.
