SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Application for Authorization to Use the 4-H Club Name and/
or Emblem.
OMB Number: 0524-0034.
Current Expiration Date of Approval: March 31, 2009.
Type of Request: Intent to request approval to reinstate and revise
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, website, and e-mail address;
the proposed use of the 4-H Club Name and/or Emblem; a sample of the
product showing proposed use of the 4-H Club Name and Emblem and list
samples of products (i.e., mugs or shirts) or exhibits (i.e.,
educational brochures, posters, or publications) submitted; 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: Minimal changes have been proposed to this
collection and the public reporting burden remains at the estimated
average .5 hours per response.
Respondents: Individuals, households, businesses or other for-
profit or not-for-profit institutions.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 60.
Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 1.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 30 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, including the
validity of the methodology and assumptions; (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.
Obtaining a Copy of the Information Collection: A copy of the
information collection and related instructions may be obtained free of
charge by contacting Jason Hitchcock by telephone, (202) 720-4343, or
