Farm Service Agency

    Title: End-Use Certificate Program.
    OMB Control Number: 0560-0151.
    Summary of Collection: Public Law 103-181, section 321(f) of the 
North American Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act mandates that 
the Secretary of Agriculture shall implement, in coordination with the 
Commissioner of Customs and Border Protections, a program requiring 
that end-use certificates be included in the documentation covering the 
entry into the United States of any wheat originating from Canada. The 
end-use certificate program was designed to ensure that Canadian wheat 
does not benefit from USDA or CCC-assisted export programs.
    Need and Use of the Information: The information collected on the 
end-use certificate is used in conjunction with USDA's domestic origin 
compliance review process during quarterly audits of contractors 
involved in foreign food assistance programs. The form FSA-750 ``End-
Use Certificate for Wheat'' is used by approximately 200 importers of 
Canadian wheat to report entry into the United States. Millers, 
exporters, and other users of imported Canadian wheat use the FSA-751, 
``Wheat Consumption and Resale Report,'' to report final disposition of 
Canadian wheat in the United States.
    Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit; Federal 
Government.
    Number of Respondents: 421.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion; Quarterly.
    Total Burden Hours: 4,520.
