                performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the
                information will have practical utility; the accuracy of the agency's
                estimate of burden including the validity of the methodology and
                assumptions used; ways to enhance the quality, utility and clarity of
                the information to be collected; and ways to minimize the burden of the
                collection of information on those who are to respond, including
                through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or
                other technological collection techniques or other forms of information
                technology Comments regarding these information collections are best
                assured of having their full effect if received by April 27, 2020.
                Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information
                collection should be submitted within 30 days of the publication of

                control number and the agency informs potential persons who are to
                respond to the collection of information that such persons are not
                required to respond to the collection of information unless it displays
                a currently valid OMB control number.

                 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.
