authorized to display official 

identification on product packaging 

materials, equipment, utensils, or on 

descriptive or promotional materials.

burden for this record keeping is 

estimated to average .0585 hours per 

response.

manufacturers, and packers of butter 

and cheese. Manufacturers of processing 

equipment used in the dairy, meat and 

poultry industries.

the proposed collection of the 

information is necessary for the proper

of the burden of the proposed collection 

of information including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(3) ways to enhance the quality, utility,
