June 8, 2017.

    The Department of Agriculture has submitted the following 
information collection requirement(s) to OMB for review and clearance 
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. Comments 
are requested regarding (1) whether the collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 
including whether the information will have practical utility; (2) the 
accuracy of the agency's estimate of burden including the validity of 
the methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) 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.
    Comments regarding this information collection received by July 13, 
2017 will be considered. Written comments should be addressed to: Desk 
Officer for Agriculture, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB), New Executive Office Building, 
725 17th Street NW., Washington, DC 20502. Commenters are encouraged to 
submit their comments to OMB via email to: [email protected] 
or fax (202) 395-5806 and to Departmental Clearance Office, USDA, OCIO, 
Mail Stop 7602, Washington, DC 20250-7602. Copies of the submission(s) 
may be obtained by calling (202) 720-8958.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information 
unless the collection of information displays a currently valid OMB 
control number and the agency informs potential persons who are to

required to respond to the collection of information unless it displays 
a currently valid OMB control number.

Foreign Agricultural Service

    Title: Export Sales of U.S. Agricultural Commodities.
    OMB Control Number: 0551-0007.
    Summary of Collection: The information collection requirements 
contained in 7 CFR part 20 are necessary to implement the mandatory 
export sales reporting requirements of Sec.  602 of the Agricultural 
Trade Act of 1978, as amended (7 U.S.C. 5712). The export sales 
reporting system provides commodity market participants with 
information about commodity export commitments, and is one means by 
which USDA seeks to insure fairness and soundness in commodity 
marketing. U.S. exports are required to report to the Foreign 
Agricultural Service (FAS) information on: (1) The quantity of a 
reportable commodity to be sold to a foreign buyer; (2) the country of 
destination; and (3) the marketing year of shipment.
    Need and Use of the Information: The collected information is 
needed because it provides up-to-date market data for making rational 
export policy decisions to prevent market disruptions. FAS reports the 
information to the public so that all market participants can be aware 
of such sales and can evaluate the effects of exports on supply and 
demand estimates of production, prices, and sales. If the information 
is not collected, the Department would not be in compliance with the 
statutes and not fulfilling the objectives of the export sales 
reporting program.
    Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents: 340.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Quarterly; Weekly.
    Total Burden Hours: 47,907.
