This new information collection seeks to replace butterfat testing by a USDA inspector with an annual review of a plantâs butterfat testing records which are kept as part of their normal business records. A recordkeeping requirement is needed to authorize a USDA inspector to review plant records on-site.
The estimated total recordkeeping burden for all users of the service is estimated at 85 burden hours for 17 recordkeepers (5 hours per recordkeeper). This is a change from the previous 42.5 total burden hours. AMS was inadvertently inconsistent in its previous reporting of the burden. After review, AMS has determined five burden hours per recordkeeper per year is accurate.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
