Agricultural Marketing Service
Title: Plan for Estimating Daily Livestock Slaughter under Federal
Inspection.
OMB Control Number: 0581-0050.
Summary of Collection: The Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946 (7
U.S.C. 1621-1627) (AMA), as amended, authorizes the Secretary of
Agriculture ``to collect and disseminate marketing information,
including adequate outlook information on a market-area basis, for the
purpose of anticipating and meeting consumer requirements, aiding in
the maintenance of farm income, and 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, sec. 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: AMS will collect information on
estimation of the current day's slaughter at their plant(s) and the
actual slaughter of the previous day. The report is used to make market
outlook projections and maintain statistical data. The up-to-the-minute
reports collected and disseminated by professional market reporters are
intended to provide both buyers and sellers with the information
necessary for making intelligent, informed marketing decisions, thus
putting everyone in the marketing system in an equal bargaining
position. Since the government is a large purchaser of meat, a system
to monitor the collection and reporting of data is needed. Collecting
this information less frequently would hinder the timely use of this
data.
Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit;
Individuals or households; Farms.
Number of Respondents: 69.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting; Weekly; Other: Daily.
Total Burden Hours: 597.

Departmental Information Collection Clearance Officer.
