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 form FSA-750 ``End-Use 
Certificate for Wheat'' is used by importers of Canadian wheat to 
report entry into the United States. The form must be submitted by the 
importer within 15 workdays following the date of entry. 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. Failure to collect the information 
on an entry-by-entry basis would make it impossible to ensure that 
imported grain retains its identify preserved status and doe not 
benefit from USDA or CCC-assisted programs.
    Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents: 421.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion; Quarterly.
    Total Burden Hours: 4,520.
