information collection.
    Abstract: The dairy grading program is a voluntary user fee program 
authorized under the Agricultural Marketing Act (AMA) of 1946 (7 
U.S.C.1621-1627). The regulations governing inspection and grading 
services of manufactured or processed dairy products are contained in 7 
CFR part 58. Importing countries require certification as to production 
methods and sources of raw ingredients for dairy products. USDA, AMS, 
Dairy Grading Branch is the designated agency for issuing sanitary 
certificates for dairy products in the United States. Exporters must 
request export certificates from USDA.
    Need and Use of the Information: To provide the required 
information on dairy export sanitary certificates AMS must collect the 
information from the exporter. The information required on the sanitary 
certificates varies from country to country requiring specific forms 
for each country. Such information includes: Identity of the importer 
and exporter, to describe consignment specifics, and identify border 
entry point at the country of destination. The information gathered 
using these forms is only used to create the export sanitary 
certificate. There has been a change in the overall burden of this 
submission.
    Estimate of Burden: Public reporting burden for this collection of 
information is estimated to average .20 hours per response.
    Respondents: Dairy product manufacturers, consultants, installers, 
dairy equipment fabricators and meat and poultry processing equipment 
fabricators.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 475.
    Estimated Total Annual Responses: 51,800.
    Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 109.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 10,345.
    Comments are invited on: (1) 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; (2) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information 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 the use of appropriate automated, electronic, 
mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms 
of information technology. Comments may be sent to Camia R. Lane, 
Grading and Standardization Branch, Dairy Programs, Agricultural 
Marketing Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Room 2968-South 
Building, 1400 Independence Avenue SW, Washington, DC 20250-0230: Tel: 
(202) 720-1671, Fax: (202) 720-2643, or via email at 
[email protected]. All comments received will be available for 
public inspection during regular business hours at the same address.

request for OMB approval. All comments will become a matter of public 
record.
