Agricultural Marketing Service

    Title: Tart Cherries Grown in the states of MI, NY, PA. OR, UT, WA, 
and WI.
    OMB Control Number: 0581-0177.
    Summary of Collection: Marketing Order No. 930 (7 CFR part 930) 
regulates the handling of tart cherries grown in Michigan, New York, 
Pennsylvania, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Wisconsin. The Agricultural 
Marketing Agreement Act of 1937 was designed to permit regulation of 
certain agricultural commodities for the purpose of providing orderly 
marketing conditions in inter and intrastate commerce and improving 
returns to growers. The primary objective of the Order is to stabilize 
the supply of tart cherries. Only tart cherries that will be canned or 
frozen will be regulated. The Order is administered by an 18 member 
Board comprised of producers, handlers and one public member, plus 
alternates for each. The members will serve for a three-year term of 
office.
    Need and Use of the Information: Various forms were developed by 
the Board for persons to file required information relating to tart 
cherry inventories, shipments, diversions and other needed information 
to effectively carry out the requirements of the Order. The information 
collected is used to ensure compliance, verify eligibility, and vote on 
amendments, monitor and record grower's information. Authorized Board 
employees and the industry are the primary users of the information. If 
information were not collected, it would eliminate needed data to keep 
the industry and the Secretary abreast of changes at the State and 
local level.
    Description of Respondents: Business or other for profit; Not-for-
profit institutions.
    Number of Respondents: 640.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Annually; Quarterly; On 
occasion.
    Total Burden Hours: 741.
