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.
