SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Cotton Ginning Survey.
OMB Control Number: 0535–0220.
Expiration Date of Approval: March
31, 2017.
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
May by State. 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 crossstate 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,
‘‘Implementation Guidance for Title V
of the E-Government Act, Confidential
Information Protection and Statistical
Efficiency Act of 2002 (CIPSEA),’’
Federal Register, Vol. 72, No. 115, June
