    Title: Regulations Governing for Voluntary Grading of Shell Eggs, 
Poultry Product, and Rabbit Product-7 CFR part 54, 56, 62 and 70
    OMB Control Number: 0581-0128.
    Summary of Collection: The Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946 (60 
Stat. 1087-1091, as amended; 7 U.S.C. 1621-1627) (AMA) directs and 
authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture to provide consumers with 
voluntary Federal grading and certification services that facilitate 
the marketing of agricultural commodities. The Quality Assessment 
Division (QAD) provides these services under the authority of 7 CFR 
parts 54, 56, and 70. The regulations provide a voluntary program for 
grading and certification services based on U.S. standards, grades, and 
weight classes to enable orderly marketing of the corresponding 
agricultural products. The regulation in 7 CFR part 62, Quality Systems 
Verification Programs (QSVP) is a collection of voluntary, audit-based, 
user-fee fund programs that allow applicants to have program 
documentation and program processes assessed by AMS auditor(s) and 
other USDA officials. This program is made available to respondents who 
would need to request or apply for the specific service they wish on a 
user fee-for-service basis.
    Need and Use of the Information: Using forms LPS-109, LPS-110, LPS-
157, LPS-240P, LPS-240S, LPS-210P, LPS-210S and LPS-234, information is 
collected only from respondents who elect to utilize this voluntary 
user fee-for-service. Only authorized representatives of the USDA use 
the information collected. The information is used to administer, 
conduct and carry out the grading services requested by the 
respondents. If the information were not collected, the agency would 
not be able to provide the voluntary grading services authorized and 
requested by congress, provide the types of services requested by 
industry, administer the program, ensure properly grade-labeled 
products, calculate the cost of the service or collect for the cost 
furnishing service.
