In accordance
with 5 CFR 1320, the information collection is approved. However,
the agency should revise the Paperwork Burden Statement on FAS-923
to reflect the correct burden for the form. The corrected form
should be submitted to OMB as a nonmaterial change.

The currently approved information
collection supports Import Regulation 1, Rev. 8 which governs the
administration of the import licensing system for certain dairy
products subject to tariff-rate quotas (TRQs).
The currently approved total
annual burden hours of 426 will be decreased by 135 hours to 291.
The estimated decrease in burden hours is due to the agencys
participation in the on-line program DAIRIES, which cuts response
time for electronic form FAS-923e, 923Ae, and 923Be from .75 to .50
hours per response time. The increase in annual responses is to
correct the previous submission. The number of respondents 540 was
used instead of total responses of 680.
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 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
