responsibilities under the P&S Act. The
information is necessary to monitor and
examine financial, competitive, and
trade practices in the livestock, meat
packing, and poultry industries. The
purpose of this notice is to solicit
comments from the public concerning
our changes to the Annual and Special
Reports (Series 3000).
The revisions to the Series 3000 forms
include three general types of changes.
First, each form has been redesigned to
enhance its appearance and logical flow
to facilitate clarity and data entry.
Consistent with this goal, the forms
have been formatted in a similar style.
Second, the information collected on
the Series 3000 forms has been reduced
and a few new information collection
items have been added. While pertinent
information was retained, unnecessary
information was deleted, and new
information to help Packers and
Stockyards Program analyze Annual
Report information was added. The
third general change is to combine
forms when possible so that a regulated
entity would not have to complete
multiple annual forms, and two forms
have been discontinued (P&SP–3110,
‘‘Supplemental Balance Sheet—
Packers’’ and P&SP–3500, ‘‘Statement of
Accounts Payable for Livestock—
Special Report’’). A new form (P&SP–
7003, ‘‘Special Report for Review of
Dealer, Market Agency, and Packer’’)
that is shorter than the annual report
form, has been created to collect
information to allow GIPSA to establish
the initial bond amount for businesses
that register during the course of the
year.
Estimate of Burden: Public reporting
and recordkeeping burden for this
collection of information is estimated to
average 8.5 hours per response.
Respondents (Affected Public):
Livestock auction markets, livestock
dealers, packer buyers, meat packers,
and live poultry dealers.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
10,950.
Estimated Number of Responses per
Respondent: 3.3.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 307,148 hours.
As required by the Paperwork
Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A))
and its implementing regulations (5 CFR
1320.8(d)(1)(i)), we specifically request
comments 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 of information, including the

validity of the methodology and
assumptions used;
(c) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
(d) Ways to minimize the burden on
the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including through
the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
All responses to this notice will be
summarized and included in the request
for the Office of Management and
Budget approval. All comments will
also become a matter of public record.
Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3506 and 5 CFR
1320.8.
