function of the National Agricultural

current official state and national
estimates of crop and livestock
production. Vegetable estimates are an
integral part of this function. The

dual crops (both processing and fresh
market). Vegetable processors are

acreage contracted. The fresh market
vegetable program consists of weekly
estimates during the growing season for
tomatoes in Florida. NASS will collect
information using surveys.
Need and Use of the Information:
NASS will collect information to
estimate acreage planted and harvested,
production, price, and utilization for the
varies crops. The estimates provide vital

marketers to use in making production
and marketing decisions.

Abstract: Title I of The Agricultural
Trade Development and Assistance Act
of 1954, as amended, (Pub. L. 83–480)
authorizes the CCC to finance the sale
and exportation of agricultural
commodities on concessional credit
terms. Suppliers of commodities and
ocean transportation must retain records
for 3 years. Prospective commodity
suppliers must provide information for
the Department to determine eligibility.
Commodity suppliers must report
details of sales for price approval and
submit to USDA, for approval,
information on any amendments to the
sales. Form FAS–359, ‘‘Declaration of
Sale,’’ is the written record, signed by
the commodity supplier, of the terms of
sale as reported by telephone. When
signed by the General Sales Manager, it
provides evidence of the USDA price
approval required for CCC financing.
Shipping agents nominated by
importing countries must submit
information to allow identification of
possible conflicts of interest. Shipping
agents or embassies submit pertinent
shipping information on Form CCC–105
to facilities approval by CCC of shipping
arrangements. This approval is
necessary to assure compliance with
cargo preference requirements at the
lowest cost to CCC. Agents submit this
document in order that USDA can
generate the CCC–106, a necessary
payment document. Ocean carriers then
receive payment for ocean freight.
