National Agricultural Statistics Service
Title: Agricultural Prices.
OMB Control Number: 0535–0003.
Summary of Collection: The U.S.
Department of Agriculture needs
estimates of prices received by farmers
and prices paid by farmers for
production goods and services for the
following purposes:
—computing Parity Prices in accordance
with requirements of the Agricultural
Adjustment Act of 1938 as amended;
—estimating value of production,
inventory values, and cash receipts
from farming;
—determining the level for farmerowned reserves;
—providing guidelines for Risk
Management Agency price selection
options;
—determining Federal disaster prices to
be paid;
—input into agricultures contribution to
the national income and product
accounts (NIPA);
—use in agricultures contribution to
national gross domestic product
(GDP);
—establishing USDA’s net farm income
projections by the Economic Research
Service; and
—determining the grazing fee on

General authority for these data
collection activities is granted under

the value of agricultural production.
Prices estimates are used by many
Government agencies as a general
measure of commodity price changes,
economic analysis relating to farm
income and alternative marketing
policies, and for disaster and insurance
payments. NASS estimates based on

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description of Information Collection
Request
Title: Urban Agriculture Cooperative
Agreement.
OMB Control Number: 0560–0000.
Type of Request: New.
Abstract: The awarded cooperators
are working to successfully implement
urban agriculture outreach, training,
technical assistance, and education to
urban agriculture communities. With
the complex nature of some of FSA’s
programs, FSA is focusing on additional
outreach and education to producers
who could benefit from additional
outreach to (1) increase knowledge,
awareness, and participation in FSA
and USDA programs and services
associated with growing food in an
urban area; (2) assist farmers with
expanding their farming operations,
accessing land, and implementing
climate-friendly practices that can
mitigate their susceptibility to natural
disasters in urban areas; and (3) increase
representation of underserved farmers
serving on Urban County Committees.
FSA is requesting comments on the
project’s semi-annual progress reports
that the awarded cooperators are
required to submit to FSA. We received
OMB clearance to use the electronic
submission (SF–270, SF–424 and SF–
425) in the Grants.gov.
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
reporting burden for the collection of
information is estimated to average 10
hours per response.
Respondents: Cooperators.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
18.
Estimated Number of Responses per
Respondent: 2.
Estimated Total Annual Number of
Responses: 36.
Estimated Average Time per
Response: 10 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 360 hours.
We are requesting comments on all
aspects of the information collections to
help us:
(1) Evaluate 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;
