NASS will separate the ethanol production questionnaire into a wet mill and a dry mill version. The eleven surveys will be referred to collectively as the Current Agricultural Industrial Reports (CAIR). Under the authority of the Census of Agriculture Act of 1997 (Pub. L. 105–113) and defined under Title 7, Sec. 2204(g), these surveys will be mandatory. Need and Use of the Information: The data from the CAIR surveys will supply data users with important information on the utilization of many of the crops, livestock, and poultry produced in the U.S. Data from these surveys is essential to measuring the consumption of agricultural products in the production of numerous consumer goods. The new data series will also supply vital information to data users on how much of these commodities were processed into fuels, cooking oils, flour, fabric, etc. The CAIR surveys will become an integral part of the 2012 Census of Agriculture and conducted as follow-onsurveys and will be conducted on relatively the same frequency and schedule as used by the Department of Commerce. These data are needed to provide a more complete picture of the importance of agriculture to the American population. Data from these instruments will be used to generate four separate publications.
