Summary of Collection: The Tobacco
Statistics Act of 1929 (7 U.S.C. 501–508)

growers of the tobacco. The information
furnished under the provisions of this
Act shall be used only for statistical
purposes for which it is supplied.
Need and Use of the Information: The
basic purpose of the information
collection is to ascertain the total supply
of unmanufactured tobacco available to
domestic manufacturers and to calculate
the amount consumed in manufactured
tobacco products. This data is also used
for the calculation of production quotas
for individual types of tobacco and for
price support calculations. Without the
information USDA would not be able to
disseminate marketing information as
directed and authorized in the Act.

handlers and producers who are
required to file certain information with
the Committee relating to pistachio
supplies, shipments, dispositions, and
other information needed to effectively
implement the requirements of the order
and carry out the purposes of the Act.
