Summary of Collection: In accordance with the authority granted to the Secretary by the Packers and Stockyards Act of 1921 the Packers and Stockyards Division (PSD) is proposing regulations under the Packers and Stockyards Act, 1921, (P&S Act) (7 U.S.C. 181 et seq.) that clarify when certain conduct in the livestock and poultry industries represents the making or giving of an undue or unreasonable preference or advantage or subjects a person or locality to an undue or unreasonable prejudice or disadvantage. These proposed regulations also establish criteria PSD will consider in determining whether a live poultry dealer has provided prescribed documents to a prospective or current poultry grower. Need and Use of the Information: The information collection requirements in this request are essential to improve transparency and forestall deception in the use of poultry growing arrangements, in accordance with the purposes of the Packers and Stockyards Act, 1921. Proposed revisions to the Packers and Stockyards regulations would require live poultry dealers to provide certain disclosures to poultry growers in advance of entering into production contracts. Under the proposal, dealers would have the option of using the Live Poultry Dealer Disclosure Form provided by AMS to meet the requirements for the cover page that must accompany additional dealer-generated disclosure documents as required. Alternatively, dealers could develop their own cover page to meet the requirement, as long as all the required information is included. Poultry growers could use the disclosure information to evaluate the accuracy of proposed contracts and make informed business decisions regarding financial investments related to poultry production.
