the provisions of 18 U.S.C. 707. The Secretary of Agriculture has 
delegated authority to the Administrator of the Cooperative State 
Research, Education, and Extension Service to authorize others to use 
the 4-H Name and Emblem. The Administrator has promulgated regulations 
at 7 CFR Part 8 that govern such use. The regulatory requirements for 
use of the 4-H Name and/or Emblem reflect the high standards of 4-H and 
its educational goals and objectives. Anyone requesting authorization 
from the Administrator to use the 4-H Name and Emblem is asked to 
describe in a formal application the proposed use. The collection of 
this information is used to determine whether the applicant's proposed 
use will meet the regulatory requirements and whether an authorization 
for use should be granted.

information is estimated to average .50 hours per response.
    Responsents: Individuals or households, business or other for 
profit, not-for-profit institutions.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 40
