SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Livestock Slaughter Survey.
OMB Control Number: 0535–0005.
Expiration Date of Approval:
November 30, 2017.
Type of Request: To revise and extend
a currently approved information
collection for a period of three years.
Abstract: The primary objective of the
National Agricultural Statistics Service
is to prepare and issue State and
national estimates of crop and livestock
production, prices, and disposition as
well as economic statistics, farm
numbers, land values, on-farm pesticide
usage, pest crop management practices,
as well as the Census of Agriculture.
Livestock slaughter data are used to
estimate U.S. red meat production and
reconcile inventory estimates which
provide producers and the rest of the
industry with current and future
information on market supplies. This
data is also used in preparing
production, disposition, and income
statistics which facilitate more orderly

production, marketing, and processing
of livestock and livestock products.
NASS compiles data from both
Federally Inspected and Non-Federally
Inspected Slaughter Plants.
Authority: These data will be
collected under the 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, 7 U.S.C. 2276,
which requires USDA to afford strict
confidentiality to non-aggregated data
provided by respondents. This Notice is
submitted in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 Pub.
L. 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
15, 2007, p. 33362.
Estimate of Burden: The Livestock
Slaughter Survey includes a weekly
survey of approximately 900 Federally
Inspected (FI) slaughter plants and a
monthly survey of approximately 900
State Inspected (SI) slaughter plants.
Slaughter data is compiled by the
Federal and State inspectors, therefore
NASS does not contact these operations.
NASS collects data only from the
smaller independent plants and
combines this data with the FI and SI
data to create a national report. The
smaller, independent operations
(approximately 1,300 operations) are
contacted either monthly, quarterly, or
annually. Public reporting burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 15 minutes per
response for an estimated annual
burden of 2,500 hours. (The USDA and
State inspectors are not included in the
calculation of total burden, since they
are performing this task as a part of their
job functions.)
Respondents: Farmers and custom/
state inspected slaughter plants.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
1,300.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 2,500 hours.
Comments: Comments are invited on:
(a) Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate
of the burden of the proposed collection
of information including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(c) ways to enhance the quality, utility,
