Agricultural Marketing Service
Title: Processed Egg and Egg Products Verification Program.
OMB Control Number: 0581-New.
Summary of Collection: The Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946 (AMA)
(7 U.S.C. 1621-1627), authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture to
provide consumers with voluntary Federal certification services that
facilitate the marketing of agricultural commodities. The Agricultural
Marketing Service (AMS) provides these services under the authority of
7 CFR part 62--Livestock, Meat, and Other Agricultural Commodities
(Quality System Verification Program (QSVP)). QSVP is a voluntary
audit-based, user-fee programs collection that allows applicants to
have program documentation and program processes assessed by AMS
auditors. QSVP programs are available to respondents who request these
services with fees based on an approved hourly rate established under 7
CFR part 62. The Processed Egg and Egg Products Export Verification
(PEEPEV) Program is a voluntary export verification program that aids
domestic food manufacturers in exporting processed food products
containing eggs to other countries. As part of this service AMS will
issue an official certificate for product from facilities verified by
AMS as meeting the requirements of the Program. To facilitate this
process, AMS will use a new form LPS-234, USDA Processed Egg and Egg
Products Export Certificate.
Need and Use of the Information: The information is collected from
domestic food manufacturers who request to participate in the PEEPEV
program to export processed food products containing egg to other
countries. The information will be used by authorized representatives
of the USDA (AMS, Livestock, Poultry, and Seed Program's QAD national
and field staff) to complete the form LPS-234. The information
collection requirements in this request are essential to carry out the
intent of the AMA, to provide respondents the type of service they
request and to administer the program.
Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit; Farms.
