SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: Application for Authorization to Use the 4-H Club Name and/
or Emblem.
    OMB Number: 0524-0034.
    Current Expiration Date of Approval: March 31, 2009.
    Type of Request: Intent to request approval to reinstate and revise 
an information collection.
    Abstract: 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 part 
8, 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, facsimile number, website, and e-mail address; 
the proposed use of the 4-H Club Name and/or Emblem; a sample of the 
product showing proposed use of the 4-H Club Name and Emblem and list 
samples of products (i.e., mugs or shirts) or exhibits (i.e., 
educational brochures, posters, or publications) submitted; and the 
plan for sale or distribution of the product bearing the 4-H Club Name 
and/or Emblem. The information collected by CSREES will be used to 
determine if those applying to use the 4-H Name and/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: Minimal changes have been proposed to this 
collection and the public reporting burden remains at the estimated 
average .5 hours per response.
    Respondents: Individuals, households, businesses or other for-
profit or not-for-profit institutions.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 60.
    Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 30 hours.
    Comments: Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed 
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of 
the functions of the agency, including whether the information will 
have practical 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; (c) ways to enhance the 
quality, utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and 
(d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on 
those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate 
automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection 
techniques or other forms of information technology.
    Obtaining a Copy of the Information Collection: A copy of the 
information collection and related instructions may be obtained free of 
charge by contacting Jason Hitchcock by telephone, (202) 720-4343, or 
by e-mail, [email protected]. Information also is available at
