DATES: Comments on this notice must be received on or before January

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dr. Nancy Valentine; National 4-H 
Program Leader; Families, 4-H, and Nutrition; Cooperative State 
Research, Education, and Extension Service; U.S. Department of 
Agriculture; Stop 2225; 1400 Independence Avenue, SW.; Washington, DC 
20250-2225; Telephone: (202) 720-2908; E-mail: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: Application for Authorization to Use the 4-H Club Name and/
or Emblem.
    OMB Number: 0524-0034.
    Expiration Date of Approval: July 31, 2002.
    Type of Request: Intent to request approval of an information 
collection.
    Summary of Collection: Use of the 4-H Club Name and/or Emblem is 
authorized by an Act of Congress (18 U.S.C. 707). Use of the 4-H Club 
Name and/or Emblem by anyone other than 4-H Clubs and those duly 
authorized by them, representatives of the United States Department of 
Agriculture, the land-grant colleges and universities, and persons 
authorized by the Secretary of Agriculture is prohibited by the 
provisions of 18 U.S.C. 707. The Secretary of Agriculture has delegated 
authority to the Administrator of CSREES to authorize others to use the 
4-H Club 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 Club Name and/or Emblem reflect the high standards of 4-
H and its educational goals and objectives. Pursuant to provisions of 7 
CFR Sec.  8.6, anyone requesting authorization from the Administrator 
to use the 4-H Club Name and Emblem is asked to describe the proposed 
use in a formal application. The collection of this information is used 
to determine whether the applicant's proposed use will meet the 
regulatory requirements in 7 CFR part 8 and whether an authorization 
for use should be granted.
    Need and Use of the Information: CSREES will collect information on 
the name of the individual, partnership, corporation, or association; 
the organizational address; the name of an authorized representative; 
the telephone number, fascimile number, and e-mail address; the 
proposed use of the 4-H Club Name or Emblem; and the plan for sale or 
distribution of the product bearing the 4-H Club Name or Emblem. The 
information collected by CSREES will be used to determine if those 
applying to use the 4-H Club Name or Emblem meet the regulatory 
requirements. If the information is not collected, it would not be 
possible to ensure that the products, services, and materials meet the 
regulatory requirements as well as 4-H educational goals and 
objectives.
    Estimate of Burden: Public reporting burden for this collection of 
information is estimated to average .5 hours per response.
    Respondents: Individuals or households and business or other for-
profit or not-for-profit institutions.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 60.
    Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 2.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 60 hours.
    Copies of this information collection can be obtained from Dr. 
Nancy Valentine, National 4-H Program Leader, 202-720-2908, 
[email protected]. Information also is available at http://www.national4-hheadquarters.gov/4h_name.htm.

information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of

utility; (b) 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; (c) ways to enhance the quality,
