Contractors, vendors, steamship companies, and warehouses/ports/terminals submit offers for agriculture commodities and services. This enables KCCO to evaluate offers impartially & purchase commodities & services to meet export program needs. Vendors submit Shipping Logs so KCCO can expedite shipments to meet vessel sailing dates.
The program change has decreased by 3 hours (237-234 (current hours)). The previous annual responses were 858, and the current annual responses are 485 responses. The annual number of responses has decreased by 373. The number of respondents is currently 41.
The reason for the change is the removal of forms KC-327RSCS & KC-327kcpbagsdeclr; both forms are OMB exempt, therefore, are removed from this request.
