    Summary of Collection: The primary legislative basis for conducting 
farmer's market research is the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946 (7 
U.S.C. 1621-1627). In addition, the Farmer-to-Consumer Direct Marketing 
Act of 1976 supports USDA's work to enhance the effectiveness of direct 
marketing, such as the development of modern farmers markets, the 
development of On-Farm Markets, Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) 
and Food Hubs. The Marketing Services Division (MSD), Agricultural 
Marketing Service (AMS) identifies marketing opportunities, provides 
analysis to help take advantage of those opportunities and develops and 
evaluates solutions including improving farmers markets and other 
direct-to-consumer marketing activities. Markets are maintained by 
State Departments of Agriculture, local public authorities, grower 
organizations and non-profit organizations.
    Need and Use of the Information: The information will be collected 
using the form TM-6 ``Farmers' Market Directory and Survey,'' the On-
Farm Market Questionnaire, CSA Questionnaire, and the Food Hub 
Questionnaire. Each survey/questionnaire collects the data necessary to 
populate the USDA National Farmers Market Directory, and the other 
three direct to customer directories. Combining the collections will 
reduce the number of times that it seeks to make contact with market

Information such as the size of market's, operating times and days, 
retail and wholesale sales, management structure, and rules and 
regulations governing the markets are all important questions that need 
to be answered in the design of a new market. The information developed 
by the Farmer's Market Survey will support better designs, development 
techniques, and operating methods for modern farmers markets and 
outline improvements that can be applied to revitalize existing 
markets. The three direct marketing channel directories along with the 
National Farmer's Market Directory website will provide synergies, give 
customers a one stop shopping website for a wide variety of locally 
produced directly marketed farm products, and provide a free 
advertising venue for agricultural enterprise managers seeking to
