SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Application for Authorization to 

Use the 4–H Club Name and/or Emblem. 

OMB Number: 0524–0034. 

Expiration Date of Current Approval: 

March 31, 2019. 

Type of Request: Intent to seek 

approval for the revision of a currently 

approved information collection for 

three years. 

Abstract: Use of the 4–H Club Name 

and/or Emblem is authorized by an Act 

of Congress (18 U.S.C. 707). Use of the 

4–H Club Name and/or Emblem by 

anyone other than 4–H Clubs and those 

duly authorized by them, 

representatives of the United States 

Department of Agriculture, the land 

grant colleges and universities, and 

persons authorized by the Secretary of 

Agriculture is prohibited by the 

provisions of 18 U.S.C. 707. The 

Secretary of Agriculture has delegated 

authority to the Administrator of NIFA 

to authorize others to use the 4–H Club 

Name and Emblem. The Administrator 

has promulgated regulations at 7 CFR 

part 8 that govern such use. The 

regulatory requirements for use of the 4– 

H Club Name and/or Emblem reflect the 

high standards of 4–H and its 

educational goals and objectives. 

Pursuant to provisions of 7 CFR part 8 

anyone requesting authorization from 

the Administrator to use the 4–H Club 

Name and Emblem is asked to describe 

the proposed use in a formal 

application. The collection of this 

information is used to determine 

whether the applicant’s proposed use 

will meet the regulatory requirements in 

7 CFR part 8 and whether an 

authorization for use should be granted. 

Need and Use of the Information: 

NIFA will collect information on the 

name of the individual, partnership, 

corporation, or association; the 

organizational address; the name of an 

authorized representative; the telephone 

number, facsimile number, and email 

address; the proposed use of the 4–H 

Club Name and/or Emblem; and the 

plan for sale or distribution of the 

product bearing the 4–H Club Name 

and/or Emblem. The information 

collected by NIFA will be used to 

determine if those applying to use the 

4–H Name and/or Emblem meet the 

regulatory requirements. If the 

information is not collected, it would 

not be possible to ensure that the 

products, services, and materials meet 

the regulatory requirements as well as 

4–H educational goals and objectives. 

Estimate of Burden: Minor changes 

have been proposed to this collection to 

increase ease of use while clarifying the 

information needed. Drop down menus 

were created to replace the open text 

boxes to standardize the categories and 

terms used to describe the requests. The 

public reporting burden remains at the 

estimated average .5 hours per response. 

Type of Respondents: Individuals, 

households, business or other for-profit 

or not-for-profit institutions. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

[50]. 

Estimated Number of Responses: [50]. 

If there is only one form/non-form to 

complete one time annually this figure 

will be the same as respondents. 

However, this figure may be higher if 

multiple forms/non-forms each 

respondent completes one time or 

multiple times. 

Estimated Number of Responses per 

Respondent: [1] Number of responses 

divided by the number of respondents. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: [25]. As stated in 13c of 

the Form OMB 83–1. 

Comments: Comments are invited on: 

(a) Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

Agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(b) the accuracy of the Agency’s 

estimate of the burden of the proposed 

collection of information; (c) ways to 

enhance the quality, utility and clarity 

of the information to be collected; and 

(d) ways to minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

All responses to this notice will be 

summarized and included in the request 

to OMB for approval. All comments will 

become a matter of public record. 

Done in Washington, DC this 17th day of 

August, 2017. 

Michele Esch, 

Acting Chief of Staff, Research, Education, 

and Economics.
