Justification for Change

OMB Number 0581-0031

REPORTING AND RECORD KEEPING REQUIREMENTS UNDER

REGULATIONS (OTHER THAN RULES OF PRACTICE) UNDER THE

PERISHABLE AGRICULTURAL COMMODITIES ACT, 1930.



License Application Form FV-211

August 2015

Justification:

The National License Center (NLC) primary function is to license the produce industry dealing with fresh and frozen fruit and vegetables. PACA is now giving the Regional Offices (Central, Western, and the Eastern) the capabilities of sending out license applications to potential prospects. The justification for change is to now have the license application reflect the corresponding field offices addresses. So during the prospecting portion of the license process the application can be returned directly to the office soliciting them.

Revisions:

The sections that need to be revised are the following:

Page 1: the box at the top of the far right corner.
Page 3: Schedule A (A2) the accrued fees for previous operations;
Section under the credit card payment option;
And the mailing address under the certification statement.

Page One

In the top corner of the page there is a box that currently displays “For questions call: (800) 495-7222 ext 1. The 1 will be replaced with an X so the extension number can be changed to match the corresponding Field Office.

Western Regional Office: (800) 495-7222 Ex (5)
Central Regional Office: (800) 495-7222 Ex (4)
Eastern Regional Office: (800) 495-7222 Ex (3)
National License Center: (800) 495-7222 Ex (1)





Page Three

Schedule A (A2)



Removing “Prior to October 1, 2010” information. Everything else remains the same.



  1. Schedule B



At the bottom of the Credit Card payment option, it currently gives a (703) 330-4555 FAX number. This would be replaced with X’s to allow changing of the FAX number to match the corresponding Field Office to FAX the license application.



Western Regional Office Fax: 520-670-4798


Central Regional Office Fax: 817- 978-0786


Eastern Regional Office Fax: 540-373-2690


Washington DC Fax: 202-260-8575 (We are currently using this number. I included it to show how many copies/versions of the application we will have after revisions).



The email: we would like to remove this option for it will cause confusion amongst the offices when trying to locate the party responsible for the prospect.



  1. Still staying in the Schedule B under Certification Statement, the current return address at the bottom would be replaced with X’s to allow insertion of the corresponding Field Office address.
