SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Livestock, Poultry, and Grain Market News.
OMB Number: 0581-0033.
Expiration Date of Approval: October 31, 2023.
Type of Request: Request for extension of a currently approved
information collection.
Abstract: The Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946 (7 U.S.C. 1621-
1627), as amended, authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture to provide
timely nationwide coverage of prices, supply, demands, trends,
movement, and other pertinent information affecting the trading of
livestock, poultry, meat, eggs, grain, and their related products, as
well as locally produced and marketed products. The market reports
compiled and disseminated by the Livestock, Poultry, and Grain Market
News (LPGMN) Division provide current, unbiased, and factual
information to all stakeholders in the U.S. agricultural industry.
Market News reports assist producers, processors, wholesalers,
retailers, and others to make informed production, purchasing, and
sales decisions. LPGMN reports also promote orderly marketing by
placing buyers and sellers on a more equal negotiation basis.
LPGMN reporters communicate with buyers and sellers of livestock,
poultry, meat, eggs, grain, local products, and their respective
commodities on a daily basis to accomplish the Division's mission. This
communication and information gathering is accomplished through the use
of telephone conversations, facsimile transmissions, face-to-face
meetings, and email messages. The information provided by respondents
initiates Market News reporting, which must be timely, accurate,
unbiased, and continuous if it is to be meaningful to the industry. AMS
collects information on price, supply, demand, trends, movement, and
other information of livestock, poultry, meat, grain, eggs, local
products, and their respective commodities.
Estimate of Burden: Public reporting burden for this collection of
information is estimated to average .058 hours per response.
Respondents: Business or other for-profit and farms.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 3,220.
Estimated Total Annual Responses: 299,800.
Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 93.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 17,970.
Comments are invited on: (1) 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; (2) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who
are to respond, including the use of appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms
of information technology.
All responses to this notice will be summarized and included in the
request for OMB approval. All comments will become a matter of public
record.

Associate Administrator, Agricultural Marketing Service.
