Expiration Date of Approval:

Type of Request: Revision to and
extension of a currently approved
information collection.
Abstract: The Agricultural Marketing
Act of 1946, as amended, 7 U.S.C. 1621–
1627, authorizes the Secretary of
Agriculture to provide up-to-the-minute
nationwide coverage of prices, supply,
demands, trends, movement, and other
pertinent information affecting the
trading of livestock, poultry, meat, eggs,
grain, and their related products, as well
as locally produced and marketed
products. The market reports compiled
and disseminated by the Livestock,
Poultry, and Grain Market News
(LPGMN) Division of AMS’ Livestock,
Poultry, and Seed Program provide
current, unbiased, and factual
information to all stakeholders in the
U.S. agricultural industry. LPGMN
reports assist producers, processors,
wholesalers, retailers, and others to
make informed production, purchasing,
and sales decisions. LPGMN reports also
promote orderly marketing by placing
buyers and sellers on a more equal
negotiation basis.
LPGMN reporters communicate with
buyers and sellers of livestock, poultry,
meat, eggs, grain, local products, and
their respective commodities on a daily
basis to accomplish LPGMN’s mission.
This communication and information
gathering is accomplished through the
use of telephone conversations,
facsimile transmissions, face-to-face
meetings, and email messages. The
information provided by respondents
initiates LPGMN reporting, which must
be timely, accurate, unbiased, and
continuous if it is to be meaningful to
the industry. AMS collects information
on price, supply, demand, trends,
movement, and other information of
livestock, poultry, meat, grain, eggs,
local products, and their respective
commodities. LPGMN uses one OMB
approved form, PY–90: ‘‘Monthly Dried
Egg Solids Stocks Report,’’ to collect
inventory information from
commercially dried egg product plants
throughout the U.S. Cooperating firms
voluntarily submit this form to LPGMN
primarily via email and facsimile
transmissions.
This collection was previously titled
‘‘Livestock, Poultry, Meat, and Grain
Market News Reports’’ (0186–0033), and
AMS is proposing to retitle the
collection as ‘‘Livestock, Poultry, and
Grain Market News’’ collection.

1 The World Organization for Animal Health
(OIE) recognizes rinderpest as having been globally
eradicated, and recommends that countries not
impose any rinderpest-related conditions on import
or transit of livestock and livestock products. In
addition, the OIE recently delisted SVD as a disease
of concern for international trade. However, APHIS
continues to regulate for rinderpest and SVD
through its import regulations for animals and
animal products.
