Agricultural Marketing Service

    Title: Regulations Governing the Inspection and Grading of 
Manufactured or Processed Dairy Products--Recordkeeping (Subpart B).
    OMB Control Number: 0581-0110.
    Summary of Collection: The Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946 (7 
U.S.C. 1621 et seq.) directs the Department to develop programs that 
will provide for and facilitate the marketing of agricultural products. 
One of these programs is the USDA voluntary inspection and grading 
program for dairy products (7 CFR part 58) where dairy products are 
graded according to U.S. grade standards by a USDA grader. Dairy 
processors, buyers, retailers, institutional users, and consumers have 
requested that such a program be developed to assure the uniform 
quality of dairy products purchased. In order for any service program 
to perform satisfactorily, there must be written guides and rules, 
which in this case are regulations for the provider and user. For the 
above reasons, these regulations were developed and issued under the 
authority of the Act. These regulations are essential to administer the 
program needed by the user and to carry out the purposes of the Act.
    Need and use of the Information: The Agricultural Marketing Service 
will collect information to ensure that the dairy inspection program 
products are produced under sanitary conditions and buyers are 
purchasing a quality product. The information collected through 
recordkeeping are routinely reviewed and evaluated during the 
inspection of the dairy plant facilities for USDA approval. Without 
laboratory testing results required by recordkeeping, the inspectors 
would not be able to evaluate the quality of dairy products.
    Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profits.
    Number of Respondents: 362.
    Frequency of responses: Recordkeeping; Annually.
    Total Burden Hours: 962.
