Agricultural Marketing Service
Title: Export Inspection and Weighing Waiver for High Quality
Specialty Grains Transported in Containers Under the Authority of the
United States Grain Standards Act.
OMB Control Number: 0581-0306.
Summary of Collection: The United States Grain Standards Act, as
amended (7 U.S.C. 71-87) (USGSA), with few exceptions, requires that
all grain shipped from the United States must be officially inspected
and weighed. Section 7 CFR 800.18 of the regulations waives the
mandatory inspection and weighing requirements of the USGSA for high
quality specialty grain exported in containers. The Federal Grain
Inspection Service (FGIS) established this waiver to facilitate the
marketing of high quality specialty grain exported in containers.
Need and Use of the Information: To comply with the waiver of the
mandatory inspection and weighing requirements, FGIS is asking
exporters of high quality specialty grain transported in containers to
maintain records generated during the normal course of business that
pertain to these shipments and make these documents available to FGIS
upon request for review or copying purposes. These records are
maintained for a period of 3 years. This requirement is essential to
ensure that exporters who ship high quality specialty grain in
containers comply with the waiver requirements.
Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
Number of Respondents: 40.
Frequency of Responses: Recordkeeping.
Total Burden Hours: 240.
