OMB Control Number: 0535–0020.
Expiration Date of Approval:
December 31, 2007.
Type of Request: Intent to Seek
Approval to Revise and Extend an
Information Collection.
Abstract: The primary objective of the
National Agricultural Statistics Service
is to prepare and issue State and
national estimates of crop and livestock
production. The Milk and Milk Products
Surveys obtain basic agricultural
statistics on milk production and
manufactured dairy products from
farmers and processing plants
throughout the nation. Data are gathered
for milk production, dairy products,
evaporated and condensed milk,
manufactured dry milk, and
manufactured whey products. Milk
production and manufactured dairy
products statistics are used by the U.S.
Department of Agriculture (USDA) to
help administer federal programs and by
the dairy industry in planning, pricing,
and projecting supplies of milk and
milk products.
Authority: Voluntary dairy
information reporting is conducted
under authority of 7 U.S.C. 2204(a).
Individually identifiable data collected
under this authority are governed by
section 1770 of the Food Security Act of
1985 (7 U.S.C. 2276), which requires
USDA to afford strict confidentiality to
non-aggregated data provided by
respondents. Mandatory dairy product
information reporting is based on the
Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946, as
amended by the Dairy Market
Enhancement Act of 2000 and the Farm
Security and Rural Development Act of
2002 (U.S.C. 1637–1637b). This program
requires each manufacturer to report to
USDA the price, quantity, and moisture
content of dairy products sold and each
entity storing dairy products to report
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 211001
information on the quantity of dairy
products stored. Any manufacturer that
processes, markets, or stores less than
1,000,000 pounds of dairy products per
year is exempt. USDA is required to
maintain information, statistics, or
documents obtained under these Acts in
a manner that ensures that
confidentiality is preserved regarding
the identity of persons and proprietary
business information, subject to
verification by the Agricultural
Marketing Service under Public Law No.
106–532.
This Notice is submitted in
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–13,
codified at 44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.) and
Office of Management and Budget
regulations at 5 CFR part 1320 (60 FR
44978, August 29, 1995).
Estimate of Burden: Public reporting
burden for this collection of information
is estimated to average 8 minutes per
response. This average is based on the
8 different surveys in the information
collection: 4 weekly, 2 monthly, 1
quarterly, and 1 annual. Total annual
response is estimated to be 95,000 with
an average annual frequency of 3.65
responses per respondent.
Respondents: Farms and businesses.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
26,000.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 12,800 hours. Copies of
this information collection and related

Comments: Comments are invited on:
(a) Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate
of the burden of the proposed collection

burden of the collection of information
on those who are to respond, including

other technological collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology.
