Title: Voluntary Labeling Program for
Biobased Products.
OMB Control Number: 0503–0020.
Summary of Collection: Section
9002(h) of the Farm Security and Rural
Investment Act (FSRIA) of 2002, as
amended by the Food, Conservation,
and Energy Act (FCEA) of 2008 and the
Agricultural Act of 2014, requires the
Secretary of Agriculture to implement a
voluntary labeling program that would
enable qualifying biobased products to
be certified with a ‘‘USDA Certified
Biobased Product’’ label. The voluntary
labeling program is required to be
consistent, where possible, with the
guidelines implementing the preferred
procurement of biobased products by
Federal agencies (referred to hereafter as
the preferred procurement program),
which is also authorized under section
9002 of FSRIA. Under the preferred
procurement program, Federal agencies
are required to purchase with certain
exceptions, biobased products that are
identified, by rulemaking, for preferred
procurement. The BioPreferred Program
is implemented by USDA’s Office of
Procurement and Property Management
(OPPM).
Need and Use of the Information:
Under the voluntary labeling program,
manufacturers and vendors must
complete an application for each standalone biobased product or biobased
product family for which they wish to
use the label. The application process is
electronic and is accessible through the
voluntary labeling program Web site. In
addition manufacturers and vendors
whose applications have been
conditionally approved must provide to
OPPM certain information for posting
by OPPM on the voluntary labeling
program Web site. For each product
approved by the Agency for use of the
label, the manufacturer or vendor must
keep that information for each certified
product up-to-date. The information
requested for inclusion in the
application are: (1) Contact information
(of the manufacturer or vendor and
preparer of application) and (2) product
identification information, including
brand name(s), the applicable
designated item category or categories or
equivalent, and the biobased content of
the product.
Description of Respondents: Business
or other for-profit.
Number of Respondents: 150.
Frequency of Responses:
Recordkeeping; Reporting: Other (once).

Abstract: Under the section 416(b)

information will be gathered from

reports until activities carried out with
donated commodities or funds, or local
currencies generated from the sale of
donated commodities, are completed.
