bringing about a balance between
production, and utilization of
agricultural products.’’ The collection of
information in this request is based on
the AMA, title II, subtitle A, § 203,
principally, paragraphs (b), (g), and (k)
that direct the Secretary of Agriculture
to determine agricultural marketing
costs and develop efficient marketing
methods to reduce the price spread
between producer and consumer; to
collect and disseminate marketing
information to bring about a balance
between production and utilization of
agricultural products; and to collect,
tabulate, and disseminate agricultural
marketing statistics.
Under this authority, the Agricultural
Marketing Service (AMS) Livestock,
Poultry, and Grain Market News
(LPGMN) Division works to provide
timely information of prices, supply,
demands, trends, movement, and other
details affecting the trade of livestock,
poultry, meat, eggs, grain, and their
related products, as well as locally
produced and marketed products. The
information requested is used to
compile and disseminate market reports
that provide current, unbiased
information to all stakeholders in the
U.S. agricultural industry.
Need and Use of the Information:
Information is used by the private sector
to make economic decisions to establish
market values for application in
contracts or settlement value, and to
address specific concerns or issues
related to trade agreements and disputes
as well as being used by educational
institutions, specifically, agricultural
colleges and universities. Government
agencies such as the Foreign
Agricultural Service, Economic
Research Service and the National
Agricultural Statistics Service use
market news data in the performance of
their missions. LPGMN reports provide
interested segments of the market chain
and the general public with unbiased
comprehensive livestock, poultry, meat,
eggs, wool, grain market data which
helps equalize the competitive position
of all market participants. The absence
of these data would deny primary and
secondary users information that
otherwise would be available to aid
them in their production and marketing
decisions, analyses, research and
knowledge of current market conditions.
The omission of these data could
adversely affect prices, supply, and
demand.
