Agricultural Marketing Service

    Title: United States Warehouse Act (USWA).
    OMB Control Number: 0581-0305.
    Summary of Collection: AMS is responsible, as required by the USWA, 
7 U.S.C. 869 et seq., to license public warehouse operators that are in 
the business of storing agricultural products, to examine such 
federally licensed warehouses and to license qualified persons to 
sample, inspect, weigh, and classify agricultural products. AMS 
licenses under the USWA cover approximately half of all commercial 
grain and cotton warehouse capacities in the United States. The 
regulations that implement the USWA govern the establishment and 
maintenance of systems under which documents, including documents of 
title on shipment, payment, and financing, may be issued, or 
transferred for agricultural products. Some of these systems and 
documents issued may be electronic. The regulations are found at 7 CFR 
869 et seq.
    Need and Use of the Information: This information collection allows 
AMS to effectively administer the regulations, licensing, and 
electronic provider agreements and related reporting and recordkeeping 
requirements as specified in the USWA.
    Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit. Farms.
    Number of Respondents: 3,000.
    Frequency of Responses: Recordkeeping; Reporting: On occasion; 
Weekly.
    Total Burden Hours: 38,917.

Agricultural Marketing Service

    Title: FarmerFairness.gov USDA/DOJ Complaint Web Portal.
    OMB Control Number: 0581-0333.
    Summary of Collection: The P&S Act and the regulations issued under 
the P&S Act authorize the collection of information for the purpose of 
enforcing the P&S Act and regulations and for conducting studies 
requested by Congress. The laws and regulations relating to competition 
in the meat and poultry industries confer separate and overlapping 
jurisdiction to the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S. 
Department of Justice. Farmers, ranchers, and other interested persons 
may not be aware of this and may not know to whom or how to file a 
complaint or tip if they suspect a violation of those laws or 
regulations. This joint complaint portal allows those farmers, ranchers 
and interested persons to go to one website to submit information and 
USDA and DOJ will determine the appropriate jurisdiction and any follow 
up actions.
    Need and Use of the Information: This information collection is 
necessary for PSD and DOJ to monitor and examine complaints regarding 
financial, competitive, and trade practices in the livestock, meat 
packing and poultry industries.
    Description of Respondents: State, Local, and Tribal Governments.
    Number of Respondents: 110.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Annually.
    Total Burden Hours: 165.
