National Agricultural Statistics Service
Title: Mink Survey.
OMB Control Number: 0535–0212.
Summary of Collection: The primary
function of the National Agricultural
Statistics Service (NASS) is to prepare
and issue current official State and
national estimates of crop and livestock
production. The mink program consists
of two surveys: An annual census of all
known mink producers in the 50 states
(the Mink Survey) and an annual survey
of two prominent mink pelt auction
houses (the Mink Price Survey).
Statistics on mink production are
published for the 12 major states that
account for over 90 percent of the total
U.S. pelt production. There is no other
source for this type of information.
General authority for these data
collection activities is granted under
U.S. Code Title 7, Section 2204.
Need and Use of the Information:
NASS collects information on mink
pelts produced by color, number of
females bred to produce kits the
following year, number of mink farms,
average marketing price, and the value
of pelts produced. The data is
disseminated by NASS in the Mink
Report and is used by the U.S.
government and other groups.
Description of Respondents: Farms.
Number of Respondents: 352.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting:
Annually.
Total Burden Hours: 87.
National Agricultural Statistics Service
Title: Cost of Pollination Survey.
OMB Control Number: 0535–0258.
Summary of Collection: The primary
objectives of the National Agricultural
Statistics Service (NASS) are to prepare
and issue official State and national
estimates of crop and livestock
production, disposition and prices,
economic statistics, and environmental
statistics related to agriculture and to
conduct the Census of Agriculture and
its follow-on surveys. Pollinators

(honeybees) are vital to the agricultural
industry for producing food for the
world’s population. NASS’ primary
focus will center on costs associated
with honey bee pollination, but will
also collect some basic information
relating to other forms of pollination.
General authority for these data
collection activities is granted under
U.S.C. Title 7, Section 2204.
Need and Use of the Information:
NASS plans to collect economic data
under this new collection using the
‘‘Cost of Pollination Inquiry’’ survey.
Data relating to the targeted crops
(fruits, nuts, vegetables and specialty
crops) will be collected for the total
number of acres that rely on honey bee
pollination, the number of honey bee
colonies that were used on those acres,
and any cash fees associated with honey
bee pollination. By publishing both
regional and crop specific pollination
costs, both, crop farmers and beekeepers
will be able to benefit from this
additional data.
Description of Respondents: Farmers.
Number of Respondents: 18,000.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting:
Once a year.
Total Burden Hours: 5,340.

Title: Servicing Minor Program Loans.
OMB Control Number: 0560–0230.

Type of Request: Extension.
Abstract: Section 331(b) of the
Consolidated Farm and Rural
Development Act (CONTACT, 7 U.S.C.
1981(b)), in part, authorizes the
Secretary of Agriculture to modify,
subordinate and release terms of
security instruments, leases, contracts,
and agreements entered by FSA. That
section also authorizes transfers of
security property, as the Secretary
deems necessary, to carry out the
purpose of the loan or protect the
Government’s financial interest. Section
335 of the CONACT (7 U.S.C. 1985)
provides servicing authority for real
estate security; operation or lease of
realty; disposition of property;
conveyance of real property interest of
the United States; easements; and
condemnations.
The information collection relates to a
program benefit recipient or loan
borrower requesting action on security
they own, which was purchased with
FSA loan funds, improved with FSA
loan funds or has otherwise been
mortgaged to FSA to secure a
Government loan. The information
collected is primarily financial data not
already on file, such as borrower asset
values, current financial information
and public use and employment data.
There are no changes to the burden
hours since the last OMB approval.
For the following estimated total
annual burden on respondents, the
formula used to calculate the total
burden hour is the estimated average
time per responses hours multiplied by
the estimated total annual responses.
Estimate of Annual Burden: Public
