Agricultural Marketing Service
Title: Dairy Products Mandatory Sales Reporting.
OMB Control Number: 0581-0274.
Summary of Collection: The Mandatory Price Reporting Act of 2010
amended section 273(d) of the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946 (the
Act), requiring the Secretary of Agriculture (Secretary) to establish
an electronic reporting system for certain manufacturers of dairy
products to report sales information under a mandatory dairy product
reporting program.
Data collection for cheddar cheese, butter, dry whey, or nonfat dry
milk sales is limited to manufacturing plants producing annually 1
million pounds or more of one of the surveyed commodities specified in
the mandatory reporting requirements of the Dairy Products Reporting
Programs (7 CFR 1170.7 through 1170.12). AMS administers programs that
facilitate the efficient, fair marketing of U.S. agricultural products,
including food, fiber, and specialty crops. The data collected on these
surveys enables AMS to report information in a timely manner and
promote competition in the dairy industry. Additionally, the sales
information reported is used by USDA to calculate minimum prices paid
to dairy farmers or their cooperative associations for milk marketed
through the Federal milk marketing order system. Finally, reports are
used to verify compliance with marketing order regulations.
Need and Use of the Information: Survey respondents are required to
submit weekly sales information through a secure internet connection
using a username and password to report prices. After the respondent
has logged onto the web-based software, they are directed to the
appropriate electronic weekly product forms to be completed. The Dairy
Products Sales Survey Annual Validation Worksheet is conducted in
person and submitted on forms. Follow-ups, where necessary to obtain
missing information, are conducted by phone. The forms being submitted
for approval list the questions the respondents complete: total pounds
sold, total dollars, and the price per pound. Data received from these
surveys is used by USDA to calculate minimum prices for raw milk
marketed through the Federal milk marketing order system. In addition,
USDA publishes aggregate weekly market information based on survey
results. This information is used by industry members to make informed
decisions about the marketing of dairy products. During routine audits,
USDA compares information reported on these forms with manufacturer
records to verify compliance with DPMRP Regulations.
Description of Respondents: Businesses or other for profits--
Cheddar Cheese, 40 lb. Blocks.
Number of Respondents: 180.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion; Weekly; Annually.
Total Burden Hours: 1,397.
