Agricultural Marketing Service
Title: Grain News Reports and
Molasses Market News.
OMB Control Number: 0581–0005.
Summary of Collection: The
Agricultural Marketing Act of 1046 (7
U.S.C. 1621) Section 203(g), directs and
authorizes the collection and
dissemination of marketing information
including adequate outlook information,
on a market area basis, for the purpose
of anticipating and meeting consumer
requirements aiding in the maintenance
of farm income and to bring about a
balance between production and
utilization. Livestock and Grain News
provides a timely exchange of accurate
and unbiased information on current
marketing conditions (supply, demand,
prices, trends, movement, and other
information) affecting trade in livestock,
meats, grain, and wool. Administered by
the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s
Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS),
this nationwide market news program is
conducted in cooperation with
approximately 30 state departments of
agriculture. The up-to-the-minute
reports collected and disseminated by
professional market reporters are
intended to provide both buyers and
sellers with the information necessary
for making intelligent, informed
marketing decisions, thus putting
everyone in the marketing system in an
equal bargaining position. AMS will
collect information using market new
reports.
Need and Use of the Information:
AMS will collect information on various
aspects of the grain and feed industry in
determining available supplies and
current pricing. Industry traders use
market news information to make
marketing decisions on when and where
to buy and sell. In addition, the reports
are used by other Government agencies
to evaluate market conditions and
calculate price levels used for the
Farmer-owned Reserve Program. The
reports must be collected and
disseminated by an impartial third
party. Since the Government is a large
holder of grain, some type of system
would have to be established to monitor
the collection and reporting data.
Description of Respondents: Business
or other for-profit; Individuals or
households; Farms; Federal
Government.

Title: Plan for Estimating Daily

intended to provide both buyers and
sellers with the information necessary
for making intelligent, informed
marketing decisions, thus putting
everyone in the marketing system in an
equal bargaining position.
Need and Use of the Information:
AMS will collect information on
estimation of the current day’s slaughter
at their plant(s) and the actual slaughter
of the previous day. The report is used
to make market outlook projections and
maintain statistical data. The
information must be collected and
disseminated by an impartial third
party. Since the government is a large
purchaser of meat, a system to monitor
the collection and reporting of data is
needed. Collecting this information less
frequently would hinder the timely use
of this data.
Description of Respondents: Business
or other for-profit; Individuals or
households; Farms; Federal
Government; State, local or tribal
government.
Number of Respondents: 72.

VerDate jul<14>2003
16:35 Jul 05, 2005
Jkt 205001
OMB Control Number: 05160–0120.
Summary of Collection: The United
States Warehouse Act (USWA) (7 U.S.C.
244) authorizes the Secretary of
Agriculture to license public warehouse
operators that are in the business of
storing agricultural products; to
examine such federally-licensed
warehouses; and to license qualified
persons to sample, inspect, weigh, and

operated under the Standards for
Approval of Warehouses Under the
Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC)
Charter Act. Although there are several
types of warehouses covered by USWA
and CCC functions, the reporting
requirements for a particular type of
warehouse are essentially the same.
With some exceptions, the same forms
are used for both USWA licensing and
CCC. The forms are furnished to
interested warehouse operators or used
by the warehouse examiners employed
by FSA to secure and record
information about the warehouse
operators and the warehouse. FSA will
collect information using several forms.
Need and Use of the Information: FSA
will collection information (1) to
determine whether or not the warehouse
and the warehouse operator making
application for licensing and/or
approval meets applicable standards; (2)
to issue such license or approvals; (3) to
determine, once licensed or approved,
that the licensee or warehouse operator
continues to meet such standards and is
conforming to regulatory or contractual
obligations, (4) to determine that the
stored commodity is in good condition
and (5) to determine that the licensee or
warehouse operator is storing the
commodity for which licensed or
approved in a safe and prudent manner.
Description of Respondents: Business
or other for-profit.
Number of Respondents: 4,000.
Frequency of Responses:
Recordkeeping; Reporting: On occasion;
Other (daily record).
Total Burden Hours: 10,626.
