SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: Application for Authorization to Use
the 4-H Club Name and/or Emblem.
OMB Number: 0524-0034.
Expiration Date of Approval: March 31, 2006.
Type of Request: Intent to request approval to extend an
information collection.
Abstract: 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 part
8 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, facsimile number, and e-mail address; the
proposed use of the 4-H Club Name and/or Emblem; and the plan for sale
or distribution of the product bearing the 4-H Club Name and/or Emblem.
The information collected by CSREES will be used to determine if those
applying to use the 4-H Name and/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: No changes have been proposed to this
collection and the public reporting burden remains at the estimated
average .5 hours per response.
Respondents: Individuals, households, business or other for-profit
or not-for-profit institutions.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 60.
Estimated Number of Responses per Respondents: 2.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 60 hours.
Comments: Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed
collection of 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 proposed collection of information; (c) ways to
enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) 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.
Done in Washington, DC, this 16th day of May, 2005.
Rodney J. Brown,
Deputy Under Secretary, Research, Education, and Economics.
