DATES: Comments on this notice must be received on or before January

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dr. Nancy Valentine; National 4-H
Program Leader; Families, 4-H, and Nutrition; Cooperative State

Agriculture; Stop 2225; 1400 Independence Avenue, SW.; Washington, DC

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Application for Authorization to Use the 4-H Club Name and/
or Emblem.
OMB Number: 0524-0034.
Expiration Date of Approval: July 31, 2002.
Type of Request: Intent to request approval of an information
collection.
Summary of Collection: Use of the 4-H Club Name and/or Emblem is
authorized by an Act of Congress (18 U.S.C. 707). Use of the 4-H Club
Name and/or Emblem by anyone other than 4-H Clubs and those duly
authorized by them, representatives of the United States Department of
Agriculture, the land-grant colleges and universities, and persons
authorized by the Secretary of Agriculture is prohibited by the
provisions of 18 U.S.C. 707. The Secretary of Agriculture has delegated
authority to the Administrator of CSREES to authorize others to use the
4-H Club Name and Emblem. The Administrator has promulgated regulations
at 7 CFR Part 8 that govern such use. The regulatory requirements for
use of the 4-H Club Name and/or Emblem reflect the high standards of 4-
H and its educational goals and objectives. Pursuant to provisions of 7
CFR Sec. 8.6, anyone requesting authorization from the Administrator
to use the 4-H Club Name and Emblem is asked to describe the proposed
use in a formal application. The collection of this information is used
to determine whether the applicant's proposed use will meet the
regulatory requirements in 7 CFR part 8 and whether an authorization
for use should be granted.
Need and Use of the Information: CSREES will collect information on
the name of the individual, partnership, corporation, or association;
the organizational address; the name of an authorized representative;
the telephone number, fascimile number, and e-mail address; the
proposed use of the 4-H Club Name or Emblem; and the plan for sale or
distribution of the product bearing the 4-H Club Name or Emblem. The
information collected by CSREES will be used to determine if those
applying to use the 4-H Club Name or Emblem meet the regulatory
requirements. If the information is not collected, it would not be
possible to ensure that the products, services, and materials meet the
regulatory requirements as well as 4-H educational goals and
objectives.
Estimate of Burden: Public reporting burden for this collection of
information is estimated to average .5 hours per response.
Respondents: Individuals or households and business or other for-
profit or not-for-profit institutions.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 60.
Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 2.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 60 hours.
Copies of this information collection can be obtained from Dr.
Nancy Valentine, National 4-H Program Leader, 202-720-2908,

information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
the agency, including whether the information will have practical
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the

methodology and assumptions used; (c) ways to enhance the quality,
