Agricultural Marketing Service

    Title: Processed Egg and Egg Products Verification Program.
    OMB Control Number: 0581-New.
    Summary of Collection: The Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946 (AMA) 
(7 U.S.C. 1621-1627), authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture to 
provide consumers with voluntary Federal certification services that 
facilitate the marketing of agricultural commodities. The Agricultural 
Marketing Service (AMS) provides these services under the authority of 
7 CFR part 62--Livestock, Meat, and Other Agricultural Commodities 
(Quality System Verification Program (QSVP)). QSVP is a voluntary 
audit-based, user-fee programs collection that allows applicants to 
have program documentation and program processes assessed by AMS 
auditors. QSVP programs are available to respondents who request these 
services with fees based on an approved hourly rate established under 7 
CFR part 62. The Processed Egg and Egg Products Export Verification 
(PEEPEV) Program is a voluntary export verification program that aids 
domestic food manufacturers in exporting processed food products 
containing eggs to other countries. As part of this service AMS will 
issue an official certificate for product from facilities verified by 
AMS as meeting the requirements of the Program. To facilitate this 
process, AMS will use a new form LPS-234, USDA Processed Egg and Egg 
Products Export Certificate.
    Need and Use of the Information: The information is collected from 
domestic food manufacturers who request to participate in the PEEPEV 
program to export processed food products containing egg to other 
countries. The information will be used by authorized representatives 
of the USDA (AMS, Livestock, Poultry, and Seed Program's QAD national 
and field staff) to complete the form LPS-234. The information 
collection requirements in this request are essential to carry out the 
intent of the AMA, to provide respondents the type of service they 
request and to administer the program.
    Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit; Farms.
    Number of Respondents: 43.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion.
    Total Burden Hours: 129.
