including whether the information will have practical utility; (2) the 
accuracy of the agency's estimate of burden including the validity of 
the methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality,

electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology.
    Comments regarding this information collection received by May 26, 
2017 will be considered. Written comments should be addressed to: Desk 
Officer for Agriculture, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB), New Executive Office Building, 
725--17th Street, NW., Washington, DC 20502. Commenters are encouraged 
to submit their comments to OMB via email to:

7602. Copies of the submission(s) may be obtained by calling (202) 720-

    An agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information 
unless the collection of information displays a currently valid OMB 
control number and the agency informs potential persons who are to 
respond to the collection of information that such persons are not 
required to respond to the collection of information unless it displays 
a currently valid OMB control number.

Foreign Agricultural Service

    Title: Dairy Tariff-Rate Import Quota Licensing Program.
    OMB Control Number: 0551-0001.
    Summary of Collection: The Dairy Tariff-Rate Import Quota 
regulation (the Regulation) (7 CFR part 6.20-6.37) which governs the 
administration of the import licensing system applicable to most dairy 
products subject to tariff-rate quotas (TRQs). The importation of most 
cheese made from cow's milk and certain non-cheese dairy articles 
(butter, dried milks, and butter substitutes) are subject to TRQs and 
must be accompanied by an import license issued by the Department to 
enter at the lower tariff. Importers without licenses may enter these 
dairy articles, but are required to pay the higher tariff. The Foreign 
Agricultural Service (FAS) will collect information using several 
forms.
    Need and Use of the Information: FAS will use the collected 
information in the administration of the tariff-rate import quota 
licensing system for certain dairy products and the issuance of 
licenses in accordance with the Regulation. If the information were 
collected less frequently, FSA would be unable to issue licenses on an 
annual basis in compliance with the Import Regulation.
    Description of Respondents: Business or other-for-profit.
    Number of Respondents: 700.
    Frequency of Responses: Record keeping, Reporting: Annually.
    Total Burden Hours: 479.
