Agricultural Marketing Service
Title: Regulations and Related Reporting and Recording
Requirements--FTPP, Packers and Stockyards Division.
OMB Control Number: 0581-0308.
Summary of Collection: The Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS)
administers the provisions of the Packers and Stockyards Act of 1921
(Act), as amended and supplemented (7 U.S.C. 181-229c). The Act is
designed to protect the financial interests of livestock and poultry
producers engaged in commerce of livestock and live poultry sold for
slaughter. It also protects members of the livestock and poultry
marketing, processing, and merchandising industries from unfair,
unjustly discriminatory, deceptive, or anti-competitive practices in
the livestock, meat, and poultry industries. AMS will collect
information using several forms.
Need and Use of the Information: Through the forms in this
information collection, the Fair-Trade Practices Program (FTPP),
Packers and Stockyards Division (PSD) gathers information that keeps
PSD current on the ownership and operations of regulated entities which
permit PSD oversight of the regulated entities. For example, PSD
gathers information regarding the number of head of livestock purchased
and the cost of the livestock to determine if the entity is adequately
bonded to protect the livestock sellers. The information regarding the
number of livestock purchased is also consolidated for public reporting
in PSD's annual report. Other financial information is gathered to
determine if the regulated entities are operating while solvent as
required by the P&S Act. This information collection is necessary for
PSD to monitor and examine financial, competitive, and trade practices
in the livestock, meat packing and poultry industries.
Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
Number of Respondents: 11,320.
Frequency of Responses: Recordkeeping; Third party disclosure;
Reporting: On occasion; Semi-annually; Annually.
Total Burden Hours: 49,339.
