In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act and 5 CFR 1320, this information collection is approved for three months. The agency has failed to adequately respond to existing terms of clearance to review the information collections and work with respondents to determine the need for the current collections and review the potential for burden reduction of the many warehouse forms. In addition, the agency has failed to identify and coordinate a current agency proposal to reduce the burden of its information collections concerning cotton warehouse receipts that will involve a 3504h submission. Should the agency choose to resubmit this information clearance to OMB, it shall demonstrate that such a review has taken place. A summary of the pilo project concerning electronic warehouse receipts shall be included. Names and phone numbers of program individuals who conducted the revie and three public contacts who were consulted shall be included in the next submission.
