The Department of Agriculture will submit the following information
collection requirement(s) to OMB for review and clearance under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13 on or after the date
of publication of this notice. Comments are requested regarding: (1)
whether the 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 burden 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 through the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
Comments regarding these information collections are best assured
of having their full effect if received by July 10, 2026. Written
comments and recommendations for the proposed information collection
should be submitted within 30 days of the publication of this notice on
the following website <a href="http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a>. Find this
particular information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day
Review--Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information
unless the collection of information displays a currently valid OMB
control number and the agency informs potential persons who are to
respond to the collection of information that such persons are not
required to respond to the collection of information unless it displays
a currently valid OMB control number.
National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS)
Title: Agricultural Prices--Substantive Change.
OMB Control Number: 0535-0003.
Summary of Collection: The U.S. Department of Agriculture needs
estimates of prices received by farmers and prices paid by farmers for
production goods and services for the following purposes:
--computing Parity Prices in accordance with requirements of the
Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938 as amended;
--estimating value of production, inventory values, and cash receipts
from farming;
--determining the level for farmer owned reserves;
--providing guidelines for Risk Management Agency price selection
options;
--determining Federal disaster prices to be paid;
--input into agricultures contribution to the national income and
product accounts (NIPA);
--use in agricultures contribution to national gross domestic product
(GDP);
--establishing USDA's net farm income projections by the Economic
Research Service; and
--determining the grazing fee on Federal lands.
General authority for these data collection activities is granted
under U.S. Code Title 7, Section 2204(a). This statute specifies that
``The Secretary of Agriculture shall procure and preserve all
information concerning agriculture which he can obtain . . . by the
collection of statistics . . . and shall distribute them among
agriculturalists.''
The National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) is requesting a
substantive change to the Agricultural Prices information collection
request (OMB No. 0535-0003) to adjust the Prices Received data
collections, to add collecting Annual Hay Prices. This survey will be
conducted annually and has similar methodology to the other hay prices
surveys already included in this request. There are no other changes to
the survey methodology or procedures previously approved. There is an
increase of 210 hours total burden hours as a result of this change.
Need and Use of the Information: The NASS price program computes
annual U.S. weighted average prices received by farmers for wheat,
barley, oats, corn, grain sorghum, rice, cotton, peanuts, pulse crops
and oilseeds based on monthly marketing. Estimates of prices received
are used by NASS to determine the value of agricultural production.
Prices estimates are used by many Government agencies as a general
measure of commodity price changes, economic analysis relating to farm
income and alternative marketing policies, and for disaster and
insurance payments. NASS estimates based on these surveys are used as a
Principle Economic Indicator of the United States. These price
estimates are also used to compute Parity Prices in accordance with
requirements of the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938 as amended
(Title III, Subtitle A, Section 301(a)).
Description of Respondents: Farms; Business or other for-profit.
Number of Respondents: 40,500.
Frequency of Responses: Weekly; Monthly; Quarterly; Biennially;
Annually.
Total Burden Hours: 25,415.

Departmental Information Collection Clearance Officer.
