    Title: Export Fruit Regulations--Export Apple Act (7 CFR part 33) 
and Export Grape and Plum Act (7 CFR part 35).
    OMB Control Number: 0581-0143.
    Summary of Collection: Fresh apples and grapes grown in the United 
States and shipped to any foreign destination must meet minimum quality 
and other requirements established by regulations issued under the 
Export Apple Act (7 CFR part 33) and the Export Grape and Plum Act (7 
CFR part 35). These Acts were designed to promote the foreign trade of 
the United States in apples and grapes; to protect the reputation of 
these American-grown commodities; and to prevent deception or 
misrepresentation of the quality of such products moving in foreign 
commerce. Plum provisions in the marketing order were terminated in 
1991. The regulation issued under the Export Grape and Plum Act (7 CFR 
part 35) cover fresh grapes grown in the United States and shipped to 
foreign destinations, except Canada and Mexico.
    Need and Use of the Information: Each shipment must be inspected by 
Federal or Federal-State Inspection Program (FSIP) to determine if a 
lot of apples or grapes intended for export meet the applicable quality 
requirements. FSIP inspectors use the Export Form Certificate to 
certify inspection of the shipment for exports bound for non-Canadian 
destinations. The USDA's Agricultural Marketing Services uses the 
certificates for compliance purposes. The inspector records specific 
information on the certificate relating to the quality of the fruit, 
the quantity shipped, the date shipped, vessel identification, and the 
intended foreign destination of the fruit. Export carriers are required 
to keep on file for three years copies of inspection certificates for 
apples and grapes.
    Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit; Farms.
    Number of Respondents: 94.
    Frequency of Responses: Recordkeeping; Reporting; On occasion, 
Monthly, Annually.
    Total Burden Hours: 4,381.

    Title: National Sheep Industry Improvement Center.
    OMB Control Number: 0581-0263.
    Summary of Collection: The National Sheep Industry Improvement 
Center (NSIIC) was initially authorized under the Consolidated Farm and 
Rural Development Act (Act) (Pub. L. 104-127). The initial legislation 
included a provision that privatized the NSIIC 10 years after its 
ratification. Subsequently, the NSIIC was privatized on September 30, 
1996. In 2008, the NSIIC was re-established under Title XI of the Food, 
Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 also known as the 2008 Farm Bill. 
Section 11009 of the 2008 Farm Bill repealed the requirement in section 
375(e)(6) of the Act to privatize the NSIIC.
    The management of the NSIIC is vested in a Board of Directors 
(Board) that is appointed by the Secretary of Agriculture. The primary 
objective of the NSIIC is to assist U.S. sheep and goat industries by 
strengthening and enhancing the production and marketing of sheep, 
goats, and their products in the United States.
    Need and Use of the Information: Information is collected using the 
forms ``Nominations for Appointments;'' ``Background Information, AD-
755;'' and ``Nominee's Agreement to Serve.'' AMS accepts nominations 
for membership on the Board from national organizations that (1) 
consist primarily of active sheep or goat producers in the United 
States and (2) have the primary interest of sheep or goat production in 
the United States. The information collection requirements in the 
request are essential to carry out the intent of the enabling 
legislation.
    Description of Respondents: National Organizations consisting 
primarily of active sheep or goat producers in the U.S.
    Number of Respondents: 10.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Annually.
