Abstract: The mission of the Rural
Business-Cooperative Service (RBS),
formerly Agricultural Cooperative
Service (ACS), is to assist farmer-owned
cooperatives in improving the economic
well-being of their farmer-members.
This is accomplished through a
comprehensive program of research on
structural, operational, and policy
issues affecting cooperatives; technical
advisory assistance to individual
cooperatives and to groups of producers
who wish to organize cooperatives; and
development of educational and
informational material. The authority to
carry out RBS’s mission is defined in
the Cooperative Marketing Act of 1926
(44 Stat. 802–1926).
Authority and Duties of Division (7
U.S.C. 453).

(a) The division shall render service
to associations of producers of
agricultural products, and federations
and subsidiaries, thereof, engaged in the
cooperative marketing of agricultural
products including processing,
warehousing, manufacturing, storage,
the cooperative purchasing of farm
supplies, credit, financing, insurance,
and other cooperative activities.
(b) The division is authorized to:
(1) Acquire, analyze, and disseminate
economic, statistical, and historical
information regarding the progress,
organization, and business methods of
cooperative associations in the United
States and foreign countries.
(2) Conduct studies of the economic,
legal, financial, social, and other phases
of cooperation, and publish the results
thereof. Such studies shall include the
analyses of the organization, operation,
financial and merchandising problems
of cooperative organizations.
(3) Make surveys and analyses if
deemed advisable of the accounts and
business practices of representative
cooperative associations upon their
request; report to the association so
surveyed the results thereof; and with
the consent of the association so
surveyed to publish summaries of the
results of such surveys, together with
similar facts, for the guidance of
cooperative associations and for the
purpose of assisting cooperative
associations in developing methods of
business and market analysis.
(4) Acquire from all available sources,
information concerning crop prospects,
supply, demand, current receipts,
exports, imports, and prices of
agricultural products handled or
marketed by cooperative associations,
and employ qualified commodity
marketing specialists to summarize and
analyze this information and
disseminate the same among
cooperative associations and others.
RBS also has a stated objective to
‘‘assist U.S. farmer cooperatives to
expand their participation in
international trade of agricultural
products and supplies and to review
their progress.’’
As trade agreements are implemented
and domestic farm supports are
reduced, a global presence is
increasingly important to producers,
their communities, and to job-creation
and retention in agri- and food-related
industries. Measurement and
monitoring of cooperatives’ global
presence are stated objectives of RBS’s
International Trade Program. In order to
carry out the Agency’s mission and
objectives, RBS needs to collect
information from the cooperative
community. This information collection
