Abstract: The primary objective of the
National Agricultural Statistics Service
is to prepare and issue State and
national estimates of crop and livestock
production, prices, and disposition. The
Mink Survey collects data on the
number of mink pelts produced, the
number of females bred, the value of
pelts produced, and the number of mink
farms. Mink estimates are used by the
federal government to calculate total
value of sales and total cash receipts, by
State governments to administer fur
farm programs and health regulations,
and by universities in research projects.
States included in this survey are
California, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa,
Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, New
Hampshire, New York, North Carolina,
Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South
Dakota, Utah, Virginia, Washington, and
Wisconsin.
Authority: These data will be
collected under the authority of 7 U.S.C.
2204(a). Individually identifiable data
collected under this authority are
governed by section 1770 of the Food
Security Act of 1985 as amended, 7
U.S.C. 2276, which requires USDA to
afford strict confidentiality to nonaggregated data provided by
respondents. This notice is submitted in

Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104–

of Management and Budget regulations
at 5 CFR part 1320.
All NASS employees and NASS
contractors must also fully comply with
all provisions of the Confidential
Information Protection and Statistical
Efficiency Act (CIPSEA) of 2018, title III
of Public Law 115–435, codified in 44
U.S.C. ch. 35. CIPSEA supports NASS’s
pledge of confidentiality to all
respondents and facilitates the agency’s
efforts to reduce burden by supporting
statistical activities of collaborative
agencies through designation of NASS
agents, subject to the limitations and
penalties described in CIPSEA. NASS
uses the information only for statistical
purposes and publishes only tabulated
total data.
Estimate of Burden: Public reporting
burden for this collection of information
is estimated to average 10 minutes per

response for the producers and
approximately 30 minutes per response
for the buyers. NASS plans to mail out
publicity materials with the
questionnaires to inform operators of
the importance of these surveys. NASS
will also use multiple mailings,
followed up with phone and personal
enumeration to increase response rates
and to minimize data collection costs.
Respondents: Farmers and ranchers.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
160.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 50 hours.
Comments: Comments are invited on:
(a) whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper

agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;

of the burden of the proposed collection

burden of the collection of information
on those who are to respond, through
