Justification for Change

National Processed Raspberry Promotion, Research, and Information Program

OMB No. 0581-0258

December 2011



This Justification for Change requests merging OMB Control Number 0581-0257 Referendum for Processed Raspberry Promotion, Research, and Information Program (Referendum) into OMB Control Number 0581-0258 National Processed Raspberry Promotion, Research, and Information Program (Order).


Because the Processed Raspberry Program was new and there was rulemaking involved, we did not want to tie-up the primary collection package for Research and Promotion Programs (0581-0093). Instead, two new collections were created. One collection package is for the referendum process (0581-0257), and the other for the Order (0581-0258) for the remaining forms, if the referendum passed. Within the rule and in each supporting statement, it states that upon OMB approval the collections will be merged into one package. Therefore, we are requesting approval of the change request to merge the burden and form approved under 0581-0257 into 0581-0258.


Discontinuation would be submitted to OMB for 0581-0257.


0581-0257: 245 respondents x 0.14 responses = 34 responses x 0.25 hours/response = 9 burden hours

0581-0258: 297 respondents = 754 responses = 273 burden hours

Grand Total 282 burden hours


The total number of respondents would be 297, since the same respondents in 0581-0257 would be responding to 0581-0258 and can only be counted once. In addition, the affected public would primarily be business or other for-profit entities, as well as farms.
