SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: [[Page 3901]] Title: Regulations Under the United States Warehouse Act, Related Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements, and Standards for Approval of Warehouses Under the CCC Charter Act. OMB Control Number: 0560-0120. Expiration Date of Approval: February 28, 1996. Type of Request: Extension and Revision of Currently Approved Information Collection. Abstract: The information collected under Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Number 0560-0120, as identified above, allows FSA to effectively administer the regulations under the USWA, related reporting and recordkeeping requirements, and the Standards for Approval under the CCC Charter Act. USWA and CCC activities are administered by FSA. Although there are several types of warehouses covered by USWA and CCC functions, the reporting requirements for a particular type of warehouse are essentially the same for all types of warehouses. With some exceptions, the same forms are used for both USWA licensing and CCC purposes. These forms are furnished to interested warehouse operators or used by warehouse examiners employed by FSA to secure and record information about the warehouse operator and the warehouse. The general purpose of the forms are identical, i.e., to provide those charged with issuing licenses under USWA or executing contracts for CCC as a basis to determine whether the warehouse and the warehouse operator meet applicable standards, to receive a license or contract, and to determine compliance once the license is issued or the contract approved. Estimate of Burden: Public reporting burden for this information collection is estimated to average .42799 hours per response. Respondents: Business or other for profit. Estimated Number of Respondents: 6500. Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 4.566. Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 19,544. Comments are sought on these requirements including: (a) whether the continued collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of USWA functions and CCC contracting activities, including whether the information will have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of FSA's estimate of burden including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (c) enhancing the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; (d) minimizing the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including using appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology. Comments should be sent to the Desk Officer for Agriculture, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, Washington, D.C. 20503 and to Judy Fry, Agricultural Marketing Specialist, Warehouse and Inventory Division, Farm Service Agency, USDA, P.O. Box 2415, Washington, D.C. 20013-2415; telephone (202) 720- 7433. Copies of the information collection may be obtained from Judy Fry at the above address. The comment period is limited to 30 days because of the current expiration date of the information collection approval. All responses to this notice will be summarized and included in the request for OMB approval. All comments will also become a matter of public record. Signed at Washington, D.C., on January 30, 1996. Bruce R. Weber, Acting Administrator, Farm Service Agency.
