SUMMARY: In accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, this
notice announces the intention the
National Agricultural Statistics Service
(NASS) to request revision and
extension of a currently approved
information collection, the Cold Storage
Survey. Revision to burden hours will

questionnaires easier to complete. The
entire target population for cold storage
operators will be contacted for this data
on a monthly basis. Fruit storage
operations are contacted on a seasonal
basis. The capacity survey is conduced
once every other year. These surveys are
voluntary, except for operations that
store certain manufactured dairy
products that are required by Public
Law No. 106–532 and 107–171 to
respond.
DATES: Comments on this notice must be
received by October 6, 2009 to be
assured of consideration.

Expiration Date of Approval:
December 31, 2009.
Type of Request: To revise and extend
a currently approved information
collection for a period of three years.
Abstract: The primary objective of the
National Agricultural Statistics Service
(NASS) is to collect, prepare and issue
State and national estimates of crop and
livestock production, prices, and
disposition; as well as economic
statistics, environmental statistics
related to agriculture and also to
conduct the Census of Agriculture.
The monthly Cold Storage Survey
provides information on national
supplies of food commodities in
refrigerated storage facilities. A biennial
survey of refrigerated warehouse
capacity is also conducted to provide a
benchmark of the capacity available for
refrigerated storage of the nation’s food
supply. Information on stocks of food
commodities facilitates proper price
discovery and orderly marketing,
processing, and distribution of
agricultural products.
Authority: These data will be
collected 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 as amended, 7
U.S.C. 2276, which requires USDA to
afford strict confidentiality to nonaggregated data provided by

Confidential Information Protection and
Statistical Efficiency Act of 2002
(CIPSEA),’’ Federal Register, Vol. 72,
No. 115, June 15, 2007, p. 33376.
Estimate of Burden: Public reporting
burden for this information collection is
based on 5 individual surveys with
expected responses of 10–30 minutes.
The Refrigerated Capacity Survey is
conducted once every 2 years, the other
surveys are conducted 8–12 times per
year.
Respondents: Refrigerated storage
facilities.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
3,000.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on

and related instructions can be obtained
without charge from David Hancock,
NASS Clearance Officer, at (202) 690–
2388.
Comments: Comments are invited on:

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;

other forms of information technology
collection methods.
