    Title: Mandatory Country of Origin Labeling of All Covered 
Commodities
    OMB Control Number: 0581-0250.
    Summary of Collection: The 2002 (Pub. L. 107-171) and 2008 (Pub. L. 
110-234) Farm Bills amended the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946 (7 
U.S.C. 1621-1627) to require retailers to notify their customers of the 
country of origin of muscle cuts and ground beef (including veal), 
lamb, pork, chicken, and goat; wild and farm-raised fish and shellfish; 
perishable agricultural commodities; peanuts, pecans, and macadamia 
nuts; and ginseng. Individuals who supply covered commodities, whether 
directly to retailers or indirectly through other participants in the 
marketing chain, are required to establish and maintain country of 
origin and, if applicable, method of production information for the 
covered commodities and supply this information to retailers.
    Need and Use of the Information: Producers, handlers, 
manufacturers, wholesalers, importers, and retailers of covered 
commodities are affected. This public reporting burden is necessary to 
ensure accuracy of country of origin and method of production 
declarations relied upon at the point of sale at retail. The public 
reporting burden also assures that all parties involved in supplying 
covered commodities to retail stores maintain and convey accurate 
information as required.
