Clearance Officer, U.S. Department of
Agriculture, Room 5336, South
Building, 1400 Independence Avenue,

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Joseph T. Reilly, Associate
Administrator, National Agricultural
Statistics Service, U.S. Department of
Agriculture, (202) 720–4333. Copies of
this information collection and related
instructions can be obtained without
charge from David Hancock, NASS
Clearance Officer, at (202) 690–2388.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Cotton Ginning Survey.
OMB Control Number: 0535–0220.
Expiration Date of Approval:
November 30, 2010.
Type of Request: Intent To Seek
Approval To Revise and Extend an
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
Cotton Ginning surveys provide cotton
ginning statistics from August through
February by State to aid in forecasting
cotton production. Data collected
consists of bales of cotton ginned to
date, cotton to be ginned, lint cotton
produced, cottonseed produced,
cottonseed sold to oil mills, cottonseed
used for other uses, number of gins by
type, bales produced by county of
origin, and cottonseed prices received
by producers. The forecasting procedure
involves calculating a weighted percent
ginned to date as well as an allowance
for cross-State movement and bale
weight adjustments. Production by State
allows adjustments for year-end State
and county estimates. Total pounds of
lint cotton produced is used to derive an
actual bale weight which increases the
precision of production estimates.
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
respondents. This Notice is submitted in
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104–
13 (44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.) and Office
of Management and Budget regulations
at 5 CFR part 1320. NASS also complies
with OMB Implementation Guidance,
