Cattlemen’s Beef Promotion and Research Board Form Merger

OMB No. 0581-0093

August 2018

On July 31, 2018, OMB issued its approval to AMS on modifying the LPS-2 Producer Request for State to Retain Checkoff Assessment form with changes in the first paragraph, last sentence, changing “received” to signed, and changing “State beef council” to producer and merging the form into OMB No. 0581-0093, National Research, Promotion, and Consumer Information Programs. This allows all forms pertaining to National Research, Promotion, and Consumer Information Programs be contained in one collection to prevent duplicity of burden hours.

With this request we are modifying the form to change the third paragraph, second to last sentence, changing “received” to signed, and changing “State beef council” to producer. This change was missed on our July 25, 2018, request. This request will not change the number of respondents, responses, or burden hours currently approved.
