Information Collection 

AGENCY: National Agricultural Statistics 

Service. 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, this 

notice announces the intention the 

National Agricultural Statistics Service 

(NASS) to request revision and 

extension of a currently approved 

information collection, the Cold Storage 

Survey. Revision to burden hours will 

be needed due to changes in the size of

questionnaires easier to complete. The 

entire target population for cold storage 

operators will be contacted for this data 

on a monthly basis. Fruit storage 

operations are contacted on a seasonal 

basis. The capacity survey is conduced 

once every other year. These surveys are 

voluntary, except for operations that 

store certain manufactured dairy 

products that are required by Public 

Law No. 106–532 and 107–171 to 

respond. 

DATES: Comments on this notice must be 

received by October 6, 2009 to be 

assured of consideration.

Title: Cold Storage Survey. 

OMB Control Number: 0535–0001. 

Expiration Date of Approval: 

December 31, 2009. 

Type of Request: To revise and extend 

a currently approved information 

collection for a period of three years. 

Abstract: The primary objective of the 

National Agricultural Statistics Service 

(NASS) is to collect, prepare and issue 

State and national estimates of crop and 

livestock production, prices, and 

disposition; as well as economic 

statistics, environmental statistics 

related to agriculture and also to 

conduct the Census of Agriculture. 

The monthly Cold Storage Survey 

provides information on national 

supplies of food commodities in 

refrigerated storage facilities. A biennial 

survey of refrigerated warehouse 

capacity is also conducted to provide a 

benchmark of the capacity available for 

refrigerated storage of the nation’s food 

supply. Information on stocks of food 

commodities facilitates proper price 

discovery and orderly marketing, 

processing, and distribution of 

agricultural products. 

Authority: These data will be 

collected under authority of 7 U.S.C. 

2204(a). Individually identifiable data 

collected under this authority are 

governed by Section 1770 of the Food 

Security Act of 1985 as amended, 7 

U.S.C. 2276, which requires USDA to 

afford strict confidentiality to nonaggregated data provided by 

respondents. This notice is submitted in 

accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, (Pub. L. 104–13) 

and Office of Management and Budget 

regulations at 5 CFR part 1320 (60 FR 

44978, August 29, 1985). NASS also 

complies with OMB Implementation 

Guidance, ‘‘Implementation Guidance 

for Title V of the E–Government Act, 

Confidential Information Protection and 

Statistical Efficiency Act of 2002 

(CIPSEA),’’ Federal Register, Vol. 72, 

No. 115, June 15, 2007, p. 33376. 

Estimate of Burden: Public reporting 

burden for this information collection is 

based on 5 individual surveys with 

expected responses of 10–30 minutes. 

The Refrigerated Capacity Survey is 

conducted once every 2 years, the other 

surveys are conducted 8–12 times per 

year. 

Respondents: Refrigerated storage 

facilities. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

3,000. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: With an estimated 

response rate of approximately 80%, we 

estimate the burden to be 7,600 hours. 

Copies of this information collection 

and related instructions can be obtained 

without charge from David Hancock, 

NASS Clearance Officer, at (202) 690– 

2388. 

Comments: Comments are invited on: 

(a) 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; 

(b) 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; 

(c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, 

and clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (d) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on those who are to respond, through 

the use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, technological or 

other forms of information technology 

collection methods. 

All responses to this notice will 

become a matter of public record and be 

summarized in the request for OMB 

approval.

Title: FNS–143, Claim for 

Reimbursement (Summer Food Service 

Program). 

OMB Number: 0584–0041. 

Expiration Date: August 31, 2009. 

Type of Request: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Abstract: The Summer Food Service 

Program Claim for Reimbursement, 

Form FNS–143, is used to collect data 

on the number of meals served and cost 

data from sponsoring organizations 

whose participation in this program is 

administered directly by the Food and 

Nutrition Service (FNS) Regional Office, 

commonly known as Regional Office 

Administered Program (ROAP). The 

FNS Regional Office directly 

administers participation of the Summer 

Food Service Program (SFSP) for 

sponsoring organizations in Virginia. In 

order to determine the amount of 

reimbursement sponsoring 

organizations are entitled to receive for 

meals served, they must complete the 

form. The completed forms are either 

sent to the Child Nutrition Payments 

Center at the FNS Mid-Atlantic Regional 

Office where they are entered into an 

electronic payment system or 

sponsoring organizations may submit 

forms electronically via the Internet 

directly into the Child Nutrition 

Payments Center. The payment system 

computes earned reimbursement. 

Earned reimbursement in the SFSP is 

based on performance and is 

determined by comparing an assigned 

rate for operations and for 

administration per meal served to actual 

operational and administrative costs. To 

fulfill the earned reimbursement 

requirements set forth in SFSP 

regulations issued by the Secretary of 

Agriculture at 7 CFR 225.9, the meal 

and cost data must be collected on the 

FNS–143. 

The form is an intrinsic part of the 

accounting system currently being used 

by the subject program to ensure proper 

reimbursement as well as to facilitate 

adequate recordkeeping. 

Respondents: The respondents are 

sponsoring organizations participating 

in the SFSP under the auspices of the 

FNS ROAP. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

121. 

Estimated Number of Responses per 

Respondent:: 3. 

Estimated Hours per Response: .5. 

Estimated Annual Burden Hours: 

181.5. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 181.5 hours. 

Dated: August 3, 2009.
