research projects. The current expiration
date for this docket is April 30, 2009.
NASS intends to request that the Mink
Survey be approved for another 3 years.
Authority: These data will be
collected under the 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. This notice is
submitted in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub.
L. 104–13) and Office of Management
and Budget regulations at 5 CFR part

performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;

of the burden of the proposed collection

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