DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Title: Livestock Mandatory Reporting
Act of 1999.
OMB Control Number: 0581–0186.
Summary of Collection: The Livestock
Mandatory Reporting (LMR) Act of 1999
(Pub. L. 106–78; 7 U.S.C. 1635–1636h)
mandates the reporting of information
on prices and quantities of livestock and
livestock products. The 1999 Act was
established to provide timely, accurate,
and reliable market information on the
marketing of cattle, swine, lambs, and
related products. Under this program,
certain livestock packers, livestock
product processors and importers
meeting certain criteria, including size
as measured by annual slaughter are
required to report market information to
the Agricultural Marketing Service
(AMS). On September 30, 2015, the
Agriculture Reauthorizations Act of
2015 (2015 Reauthorization Act)
reauthorized LMR for an additional five
years, until September 30, 2020. The
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of AMS.
USDA’s market news provides all
market participants, including
producers, with the information
necessary to make intelligent and
informed marketing decisions.
Need and use of the information: The
information collected and
recordkeeping requirements will serve
as the basis for livestock and livestock
product market news reports utilized by
the industry for marketing purposes.
The reports are used by other
Government agencies to evaluate market
conditions and calculate price levels.
Economists at major agricultural
colleges and universities use the reports
to make short and long-term market
projections. The information is reported
up to three times daily and once weekly
and is only available directly from those
entities required to report under the Act.
