Agricultural Marketing Service

    Title: Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements for 7 CFR, Part 29.
    OMB Control Number: 0581-0056.
    Summary of Collection: The Fair and Equitable Tobacco Reform Act of 
2004 (7 U.S.C. 518) eliminated price supports and marketing quotas for 
all tobacco beginning with the 2005 crop year. Mandatory inspection and 
grading of domestic and imported tobacco were eliminated as well as the 
mandatory pesticide testing of imported tobacco and the tobacco Market 
News Program. The Tobacco Inspection Act (U.S.C. 511) requires that all 
tobacco sold at designated auction markets in the U.S. be inspected and 
graded. Provision is also made for interested parties to request 
inspection, pesticide testing and grading services on an ``as needed'' 
basis. The Act also provides for the establishment and maintenance of 
tobacco standards for U.S. grown types and the collection and 
dissemination of market news which are funded by appropriated money.
    Need and Use of the Information: Information is collected through 
various forms and other documents for the inspection and certification 
process. Upon receiving request information from tobacco dealers and/or 
manufacturers, tobacco inspectors will pull samples and apply U.S. 
Standard Grades to tobacco samples providing the customer a Tobacco 
Inspection Certificate (TB-92). Also, samples can be submitted to a 
USDA laboratory for pesticide testing and a detailed analysis is 
provided to the customer.
    Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents: 50.
    Frequency of Responses: Recordkeeping; Reporting; On occasion.
    Total Burden Hours: 3,651.
